President Donald Trump (R) and President Joe Biden (D) both visited Texas this week. While President Biden was in Brownsville, Texas, President Trump visited Eagle Pass, Texas to survey border concerns. During a press conference at Eagle Pass, President Trump scolded President Biden, attributing a rise in 'Biden migrant crime' to his presidency.
Speaking alongside President Trump were Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R), Border Patrol Union Chief Brandon Judd, and other Texas leaders, who discussed the Lone Star state's efforts to curb illegal immigration while also highlighting growing concerns at the border.
“Texas is very secure, and it’s gonna be even more secure by the time you’re done,” said President Trump, praising Governor Abbott for his efforts in securing the border, and before introducing Chief Judd, who shared impassioned remarks on the matter.
“Your agents, my agents are mad as hell,” Judd told President Trump. The president of the National Border Patrol Council then proceeded to condemn President Biden's visit to the state.
“President Biden went to Brownsville, Texas rather than going to Arizona, rather than going to San Diego, California, rather than coming to Eagle Pass, Texas, which has been the epicenter, where President Trump has seen right here… he’s seen how his policies have worked, but he’s also seen how he can expand upon those policies once he gets back into the White House," Judd commented.
“Border patrol agents are upset that we cannot get the proper policy that is necessary to protect human life, to protect American citizens, to protect the people that are crossing the border illegally - we want to protect them as well - and we can’t do that because President Biden’s policies continue to invite people across here,” he added.
President Trump called the concern "a Joe Biden invasion," calling President Biden a "terrible president" and "probably the most incompetent president we've ever had."
“The biggest risk we have is nine months,” President Trump warned.
