RPNM Statement on President Biden & Trump’s Visit to the Border Today
| PRESIDENT BIDEN’S VISIT TO THE BORDER IS ‘TOO LITTLE TOO LATE’ |
| FEBRUARY 29—President Biden and former President Donald Trump both made visits to different areas of the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas today to address the ongoing crisis. Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman and former Congressman Steve Pearce issued the following statement in response: “President Biden’s brief and perfectly curated photo op near the border in Brownsville, Texas, once again demonstrated that the President could not care less about the raging border crisis. After issuing ninety-four executive actions to reverse President Trump’s border security policies and more than 7.2 million illegal immigrants and 27 tons of fentanyl have been released into our country, the President’s attempt to show concern is too little too late. President Biden has all the authority he needs to end this crisis today, but he won’t do it. He would rather gaslight America into shifting the blame onto anyone but himself. When comparing the border under President Trump and now President Biden, their track records speak for themselves. Americans can choose from two very different directions in this upcoming election. President Trump will end the border crisis on his first day in office, while President Biden will continue to initiate the crisis that he enabled on his first day.” |
