Biden criticized for visiting less active border crossing than Eagle Pass, where Donald Trump is headed Thursday.
MAGA supporters lined up in their vehicles to greet puppet President Joe Biden as he arrived for his visit to the Texas border in Brownsville Thursday.
Footage from the Rio Grande Valley, Texas’ southernmost region along the Mexico border, shows a pro-Donald Trump caravan honking their horns in anticipation of Biden’s motorcade passing by.
“THIS is what’s waiting on Biden in Brownsville, Texas!” wrote one X user.
“Team Trump” supporters also posed for a photo with numerous flags, including ones reading, “Finish the wall,” and “Let’s Go Brandon,” and a poster stating, “FJB.”
After landing in Brownsville along with DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas, Biden appeared confused and ignored questions from reporters.
Biden’s visit to the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol sector – only his second visit to the border ever – coincides with former President Donald Trump’s trip to Eagle Pass to witness firsthand the devastation wrought by Biden’s failed border policies.
Biden, however, was criticized for visiting a less active border crossing than Eagle Pass, which made headlines after the US Supreme Court ruled the Biden administration could cut down razor wire installed along the Rio Grande River at Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s (R) request.
“President Biden is in Brownsville, Texas today — in one of the least busy border sectors,” wrote Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). “But he’s ignoring the actual crisis in Eagle Pass, Texas. Today, we subpoenaed information related to the disastrous state of our southern border in Eagle Pass.”
Hispanic Brownsville residents interviewed by Fox News ahead of the visit criticized Biden for “wasting his time” visiting the region, with one business owner saying, “It just seems a little ‘Too little, too late.’”
According to Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin, the Biden administration did not reach out to the Border Patrol Union ahead of the visit, despite the admin claiming to have worked alongside the union on border reform.
The official Border Patrol Union X account on Thursday warned Biden, “Keep our name out of your mouth today.”
