A Honduran man at the U.S.-Mexico border in Eagle Pass, Texas, made some notable clothing choices while traveling to the United States. It was President Biden’s 2020 campaign T-shirt.
In a conversation with Fox News, the man appeared unaware of the meaning of “Biden-Harris 2020” and asked who the person was when asked where he got the clothing. .
The man, who was in a group that also appeared to include women and children, came up with an explanation when he was informed that they were the president and vice president.
“Oh, yeah. Well, I’m wearing it so you can let me in,” the man replied with a laugh. Those around him also joined in the laughter. The two groups were separated by barbed wire, with what appeared to be the Rio Grande behind the migrants.

Sources said the Tucson, Arizona, area was at the forefront of the clashes between Friday and Sunday, with more than 5,400 people, while the San Diego, California, area was the second-highest with more than 3,600.
The increases in Arizona and California appear to indicate that illegal crossing traffic is moving away from Texas. In Texas, the Rio Grande Valley area near Brownsville and the Del Rio area near Eagle Pass had the lowest number of encounters, averaging 300 to 350 people a day since Friday. .
