The president of Hungary visited the San Diego Sector of the U.S.-Mexico border in September as the border crisis rages without end and with U.S. President Joe Biden still not visiting the area.
"I'd like to personally extend my thanks & appreciation to Pres. of Hungary, Katalin Novàk, for taking time out of her schedule to visit SD Sector. It was a privilege to speak with the Pres. about our operations & the challenges faced by both our countries in securing our borders," Chief Patrol Agent Aaron Heitke tweeted.

Novák likewise acknowledged illegal immigration is "is still a big challenge not just in #Europe, but as I have seen also in the #USA."

Biden, who has been in politics for over 40 years, has never visited the southern border in a fact-finding or oversight capacity.
Due to a variety of factors, the San Diego Sector has not been inundated with illegal immigrants compared to other sectors such as Del Rio or Yuma. However, the San Diego Sector has seen an increase in illegal activity since the start of the border crisis once Biden entered office.
USBP San Diego Sector continues to encounter large groups of undocumented migrants entering the U.S. illegally. Yesterday morning, 79 subjects were encountered by Imperial Beach agents. The group was comprised of citizens from Brazil, Colombia, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Cuba. pic.twitter.com/FIE8tXejs3
