Border crossings in Brownsville have dropped dramatically in the past months, after Republican Gov. Greg Abbott had miles of the wire fencing installed as part of Operation Lone Star, which he signed into law in December. Brownsville could give Biden a platform to argue illegal crossings have dropped dramatically given it was the busiest corridor for illegal crossings for nine years. But Republicans have called it something else: a ‘photo-op.’

On the same day of Biden’s Texas trip, Donald Trump will be in Eagle Pass, an area of Texas still struggling to deal with the migrant influx. The former president will be about 330 miles away from his 2024 rival and the two leaders are not expected to interact.

KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: “I would hope the American people see how serious the president is about fixing this issue!”
