Biden is made a rare visit to the southern border Thursday on the same day that Trump is made his own visit. Here's what to know.
President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump both visited southern border cities on Thursday in a sign of how central immigration has become to the 2024 election. Biden visited Brownsville, Texas, and Trump made his way to Eagle Pass, Texas, which is about 325 miles, or about a five-hour, 20-minute drive, apart. Both cities are longtime Democratic strongholds, but Republicans are gaining, especially in the Eagle Pass area.
He continued his dialed-up attacks on migrants arriving to the border, deriding them as "terrorists" and criminals after harnessing rhetoric once used by Adolf Hitler to argue migrants are poisoning the blood of America."The United States of America is being invaded," he said.This was Biden’s second visit to the southern border since his presidency.
