President Biden and former President Trump are both set to visit the southern border this week amidst the ongoing migrant crisis, which is emerging as a key election issue. Both leaders are scheduled to make trips to the southern border on Thursday, with a recent poll indicating that 53% of Americans support the construction of a border wall, marking the first time since September 2015 that a majority of Americans have expressed such support.
President Biden will be traveling to Brownsville, Texas, where he plans to meet with border patrol agents and law enforcement officials. Meanwhile, former President Trump will be delivering remarks approximately 325 miles away. President Biden has stated that the simultaneous trips were unintentional.
