Biden and Trump make competing trips to US border
President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump made competing visits to the US-Mexico border on the same day, highlighting the ongoing immigration crisis in the country.
While Biden toured a migrant facility and met with local officials to discuss ways to better handle the influx of migrants, Trump visited a section of the border wall that was constructed during his presidency and criticized Biden’s immigration policies.
The visits come amidst a surge in illegal border crossings, with Biden facing criticism from both Democrats and Republicans for his handling of the situation. Trump has been a vocal critic of Biden’s immigration policies, accusing him of being weak on border security.
It remains to be seen how both administrations will address the challenges posed by the immigration crisis, but for now, the border remains a hot-button issue in American politics.
