While Trump met with Republican Governor Greg Abbott in Eagle Pass, a focal point of a state-led crackdown on unauthorized immigrants, Biden engaged with border officials in Brownsville. The visits highlight the contrasting approaches to immigration and border security, with Biden advocating for bipartisan support to pass comprehensive immigration reform, which is currently stalled due to opposition from House Republicans.
