‘Globalists to their core': Biden administration did not believe in sovereignty
This comes amid US President Donald Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' being passed, with future deportations likely to occur.
'I don't think we've had crossings this low since probably before I was born,' Ms Winters told Sky News host Rowan Dean.
'It goes back to the core ideological differences … Joe Biden, whoever was running the country, they were globalists to their core, they don't believe in sovereignty, they don't believe in nation states.
'I think the deportation numbers need to be a lot higher.'

Barred Israeli Knesset Member Simcha Rothman breaks silence as Israel revokes Albanese govt officials' visas in retaliation
Israeli politician Simcha Rothman has broken his silence after his visa was cancelled by the Albanese government just a day before he was set to arrive for Jewish community events. Mr Rothman, who is a member of the Religious Zionist Party in the Knesset, joined Sky News on Monday following a decision to ban him from Australia for three years. He was set to speak at synagogues, in Jewish schools and hold meetings with the Jewish community, with the decision to bar him from Australia leading Israel to promptly revoke Albanese government officials' visas in retaliation.

Picture: Sky News Australia Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke told Sky News his government would block anyone spreading "a message of hate and division". 'Our government takes a hard line on people who seek to come to our country and spread division," he said. 'If you are coming to Australia to spread a message of hate and division, we don't want you here.' Mr Rothman said he had awoken at 5.30am and saw the decision had been not because of 'controversial comments', but for ideas accepted by 'wide consensus in Israel'. Speaking to Sharri Markson, Mr Rothman said Australia's decision to reject him for views which are accepted by 'high-pass resolutions in the Knesset' meant the Albanese government was not just against him, but the state of Israel and the Jewish people. Mr Rothman said Australia's decision to reject him for views which are accepted by 'high-pass resolutions in the Knesset' meant the Albanese government was not just against him, but the state of Israel and the Jewish people. Picture: Debbie Hill/Pool Photo via AP 'I saw many people in Australia chanting in the streets: 'From the river to the sea, Palestine would be free.' I would think this is a message of hate and division that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and for actually for genocide of Jews,' he said. 'I did not see the government of Australia doing anything against those messages.' In a Channel 4 interview in May, Mr Rothman described Palestinian children as Israel's 'enemies', claimed Gazans were not dying of hunger and that Palestinians who were blocking the Israel Defence Force's access to Hamas were 'aiding and abetting' terrorists. Mr Rothman equated the war in Gaza with past conflicts involving England and insisted there were more innocent civilians killed in the latter's wars than in Israel's current one. 'When there is a combat zone, when there is a terrorist organization who is hiding behind civilians, you should let them run away and if you are blocking them, you're aiding and abetting a terrorist organization using them as human shields. That's not a moral thing to do,' he said. 'If the United Kingdom want to be a humanitarian country that cares about human rights and human lives, they would help the Gazans who want to leave the area leave and not aid Hamas to use them as human shields.' Asked why fleeing Gazans, including children, were not permitted to enter into Israel, Mr Rothman said it was because 'they are our enemies'. 'According to international treaties about refugees in a time of war, you don't let them conquer your country with refugees,' he said. Mr Rothman told Sky News on Monday he stuck by his Channel 4 interview and clarified the people who were 'technically children' had participated in the October 7 terror attacks. He claimed children had been taught 'from age zero' to kill Jews and some of the aid funding channelled into Gaza, which went to Hamas, had come from Australia. 'I don't think that's something of a controversial, definitely not in Israel, and not for anyone in his right mind,' he said. 'We saw children that were taught from age zero, and by the way through funding that came from Australia and other countries to kill all Jews at sight, I think that you say that to allow them inside Israeli borders, that's insanity. 'I think to say that Israel is facing the most terrible enemies, it teaches its children from kindergarten to kill all Jews, that's fine.' Mr Rothman said young Gazan children had been 'corrupted by Hamas' and 'Nazi ideology' and the people who are against it, and the violence inflicted on October 7, are accused of divisiveness. 'People who (are) against Hamas who are against raping of innocent civilians, who are again raping women and children and beheading of children… If you are against it, then you are spreading hate and divisions,' he said. 'Shame on Minister Burke.' Following Sharri Markson's exclusive reporting, Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar confirmed on X he had also decided to revoke the visas of Australian representatives to the Palestinian Authority by way of retaliation. "The Australian Ambassador to Israel was just notified on the matter," he wrote. "I also instructed the Israeli Embassy in Canberra to carefully examine any official Australian visa application for entry to Israel." Israel's Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Sharren Haskel told Sky News she was "dismayed to learn of the Australian government's decision". "Mr Rothman is a democratically elected member of Israel's parliament who was invited by the Australian Jewish community to take part in important discussions and events," she said. "His exclusion sends a troubling message about the strength of democratic exchange between our two countries." Ms Haskel added Israel and Australia have long enjoyed a close friendship built on shared values of democracy and freedom of speech. "It is my hope that this decision will be reconsidered," she said.
