Former President Donald Trump went to the southern U.S. border on Wednesday with Texas Governor Greg Abbott to criticize President Joe Biden’s immigration policies and highlight an issue he used to propel himself into the White House in 2016.
Trump’s trip comes five days after Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris went to El Paso, Texas, in the face of withering criticism from Republicans that she hadn’t been to the border in the weeks after Biden assigned her to lead U.S. efforts to curb a surge of immigration from Central America.
