Biden, Trump to make US-Mexico border stops Thursday as migrant crisis roils election

President Biden will go to Brownsville, Texas, Thursday to meet Border Patrol agents the same day former President Trump will speak in Eagle Pass.

President Biden will visit the southern border on Thursday – the same day former President Trump is also scheduled to go.

Biden will travel to Brownsville, Texas to meet with U.S. Border Patrol agents, law enforcement, and local leaders, according to a White House official. 

That same day, Trump is delivering remarks in Eagle Pass, Texas, Fox News has previously confirmed. 

Brownsville and Eagle Pass are about 325 miles, or about a 5-hour-20 minute drive, apart. 

7.2M ILLEGALS ENTERED THE US UNDER BIDEN ADMIN, AN AMOUNT GREATER THAN POPULATION OF 36 STATES

According to a Fox News analysis published last week, nearly 7.3 million migrants are known to have illegally crossed the southwest border since Biden took office. 

That number is greater than the population of 36 individual states. It comes from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which has already reported 961,537 border encounters in the current fiscal year, which runs from October through September. If the current pace of illegal immigration does not slow down, fiscal year 2024 will break last year's record of 2,475,669 southwest border encounters — a number that by itself exceeds the population of New Mexico, a border state. 

The total number of southwest land border encounters since Biden assumed office in 2021 is 7,298,486, CBP data shows.
