- Description
- President Biden on Thursday called on former President Trump to put aside politics and let Republicans vote on the Senate's bipartisan border security bill that he lobbied against.
"Instead of telling members of Congress to block this legislation, join me," President Biden said from the southern border in Brownsville, Texas. "Or I'll join you in telling the Congress to pass this bipartisan border security bill. We can do it together. You know and I know, it's the toughest, most efficient, most effective border security bill this country's ever seen."
Mr. Trump was at the southern border at the same time, about 300 miles away in Eagle Pass, where he met with Texas officials, including Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, and placed the blame for the migrant crisis on his successor, accusing him of allowing criminals and drugs to pour across the border.

The president said border officials "desperately need more resources" that only Congress can provide, prodding Republicans to "show a little spine" and pass the bill, which include...
