President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump head to the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday, as the immigration crisis caused by record numbers of illegal immigrants becomes a key issue in an expected rematch.
Mr. Biden, 81, announced the visit on Monday after Mr. Trump, 77, had scheduled a visit for the day to denounce Mr. Biden’s policies.
During a visit to New York on Monday, Biden claimed, “What I didn’t know is that my best friend was going to go,” while a Trump campaign official told the Post, “Biden is going to take us to the border. The fact that they are going so far as to show how big of an issue this is.” It’s for him. ”
President Trump “is expected to give a speech at the border,” the official said.
Biden is known to have visited the border for the first time in his career in January last year after facing continued criticism from Republicans over his handling of the growing illegal immigration crisis.
