UPDATE: The Trump campaign has responded to Biden's border trip.
“Crooked Joe Biden has had three years to visit the border and fix the crisis he created. Now Biden’s handlers are sending him there on the same day as President Trump’s publicly reported trip, not because they actually want to solve the problem, but because they know Biden is losing terribly. Biden’s last-minute, insincere attempt to chase President Trump to the border won’t cut it — Americans know Biden is single-handedly responsible for the worst immigration crisis in history and the ensuing Biden Migrant Crime Crisis affecting every community in our Country.”

The White House announced Monday President Joe Biden will make a last minute trip to the U.S. southern border with Mexico Thursday as the illegal immigration crisis continues to rage. The visit to Brownsville, Texas will mark Biden's second time to the area over his 40-year political career. Last year he paid a visit to El Paso where federal government detention centers were cleaned out before his arrival.
Biden will allegedly visit the southern border on Thursday — for the second time in his entire life.

His first visit was, in a local reporter's words, "a dog and pony show" that didn't "get to the heart of the issue."pic.twitter.com/FGY45pwLBO
Look at skyrocketing border apprehensions under Biden.

This doesn’t include the known got-a-ways or the illegal immigrants who were never detected.
Think of the murder victims by those let in by Biden like the woman in Georgia.

As of Monday morning, the White House still hasn't commented on the murder of 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley. The suspected killer is Jose Antonio Ibarra, a Venezuelan criminal who came into the country illegally in 2022. He committed a number of crimes in New York City before making his way to Georgia.
Jose Ibarra didn't need any protection from Venezuela, jail or deportation. That's a sad joke.

But Laken Riley sure as hell needed protection from Ibarra. And who protected her?
All on you Joe Biden. Stand up and be accountable for what you've done to this country. We'll wait. pic.twitter.com/1GTXaRj30I
Biden's visit will come at the same time former President Donald Trump also visits the border Thursday. Trump will be in Eagle Pass. Biden is also reportedly considering some kind of executive action, after reversing dozens of effective Trump immigration policies, to blunt the crisis as American voters say it's a top priority for the 2024 election.
