President Joe Biden and Donald Trump have made competing visits to the US border in Texas, each seeking to stress they can tackle illegal immigration.
The issue is one of the most polarising in US politics, and will be central to this year's presidential election. November's contest looks likely to be another showdown between the two men.
Mr Biden accused his Republican rival - who spoke of the "very dangerous" situation at the border - of hindering his efforts to crackdown on crossings.

Biden "I'm going to dismantle the border
Everyone’s rushing to that border.
Even Whoopi.

Not that long ago, no problem existed at the border according to the dim bulb Dems.
IMO this election is very simple and irrefutable by anyone that got through the 6th grade.
War and impoverishment
vs
Peace and prosperity.
Biden found an ice cream parlor,
Trump had one foot in the Rio Grande and his jacket sleeve caught on barb wire.
Why is Biden there, the border is secure!
His WH has been telling us that for years!!
What a scumbag!!!!
GASLIGHTING OF AMERICA!
Biden is playing the blame game to make it look like the GOP opposed the latest legislation to fix the border situation in order to help President Trump’s election campaign. The controversial legislation—The bipartisan Senate Amendment 1386 to H.R. 815, the Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2024:
Was a $118 billion package which included a series of provisions aimed at reducing record high crossings at the southern border and tightening an asylum system that has been overwhelmed by migrants fleeing their homes to seek refuge. It also included critical aid to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan, which Republicans have said they’ll only support if it is paired with significant new U.S. immigration restrictions.
It was a Trojan Horse for embedded bad legislation that once the GOP became aware of it, was rejected 50 to 49. It would continue an illegal immigration agenda while making border chaos permanent and limiting capabilities for future administrations to stop it.
Permit me to quote this comment: “This bill violates the responsible principles consistently laid out by conservatives to consider additional aid to Ukraine: There is no public accounting of the expended military and economic aid, it is not being considered on its own, and the administration has not articulated the end goal, expected U.S. commitment, impacts of drawdown authority, and assurances of further commitments from our European partners. Tens of millions of U.S. dollars have already been stolen by corrupt Ukrainian officials because of Congress’s chaotic and reckless push to provide aid without guardrails, and the administration has yet to explain how further fraud will be prevented.”
It is Biden’s fault that the immigration laws protecting our borders have not been enforced. GOP House members want passed legislation, H.R.2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023, to be enforced.
Not really competing visits, because Trump will say:
“Biden did this.”
and Biden will say,
“I did this.” (with pride)
You will notice that BOTH Trump and biden went to areas that had hordes of thousands of invaders flowing through daily, a few months ago.... But as soon as the media and politicians started noticing and showing up, the people running the invasion had their minions shift to the west, and start flowing through NM, Arizona and California, instead of where the media cameras were directed and where the politicians were showing up for their camera ops.
And when the cameras shift to the places the invaders are rushing through NOW, the powers that be will have the floods go back to Brownsville and Eagle Pass etc.
Only the ‘citizen Journalists’ and rebel media like Infowars are showing the places where the hordes are passing through at any given time.
