President Trump has accepted an invitation from Gov. Greg Abbott
(R-Texas) to get a first-hand look at the southern border. The 45th
President made the announcement in a press release on Tuesday.
Trump went on to say Joe Biden inherited the “strongest, safest and
most secure southern border in U.S. history” and argued he has
completely destroyed it within a matter of weeks. He added when he was
in office, the border was the envy of the world and now it is pitied by
world leaders.
Abbott has recently announced his plans for Texas to fund and build
its own border wall. The state’s efforts to solve the border crisis has
become one of the governor’s top priorities. He announced on Twitter on
Tuesday, “The Lone Star state will do what Biden refuses to do – protect
our citizens along the southern border.”
Trump also hopes his visit will boost the morale of both the U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border patrol agents. He vowed
to show them that he stands by them.
This comes as border czar Kamala Harris has still yet to schedule a visit. President Trump’s visit is scheduled for June 30.
