Will he be bringing Kamala Harris, the person he mad the “border czar”, who has not visited the border during her time as VP? What changed to make him visit the border? Is this like when he finally showed up in East Palestine, a year after the train disaster? This is like engineers visiting a bridge that was designed poorly and collapsed
How Biden’s border trip came together
President Joe Biden had been considering a trip to the southern border for weeks as a way to amplify his efforts to remind Americans that Republicans derailed a bipartisan border deal he was prepared to sign into law, according to two senior administration officials.
The timing of Biden’s second visit to the border since taking office — one week before he is scheduled to deliver the State of the Union address — is an attempt by the White House to maximize the political impact of the trip, the officials said.
And now, the officials said, the trip Thursday is an opportunity to draw a more direct contrast between the immigration agendas of Biden and his likely 2024 opponent, former President Donald Trump, who will visit the border on the same day.
Biden’s agenda has been to let in as many illegals/migrants as possible, overloading the system. Why? That’s the question. No one really has a great answer as to why he wants this. My theory is he wants to turn them into citizens who will vote Democrat. Trump wants to lock down the border as much as possible and deport illegals quickly.
Biden’s handling of the border is a sizable political vulnerability as he faces a tough re-election race. An NBC News poll in January found that 57% of registered voters said Trump would handle securing the border better, while 22% said the same for Biden.
The Biden administration has been under increasing pressure to take action to address the migrant crisis, including from Democratic governors and mayors, who have been raising the issue with the White House for months and did so pointedly during meetings with the president last week.
Those would be the Democrats in areas where Texas governor Greg Abbott, along with Ron DeSantis and a few others, have been shipping lots and lots of illegals and now have to deal with the fallout with being sanctuary areas.
Administration officials have been actively discussing in recent weeks about what executive action Biden could take on the border, NBC News has reported.
No measures have been finalized, administration officials said, and it’s unclear whether any unilateral action will be announced on Thursday when Biden goes to the border. Another possibility is Biden announcing executive actions on the border during his State of the Union address on March 7, officials said.
I think Biden plans on slow-walking any “executive actions”, teasing that they’re coming, taking forever to announce what they would be, then finally announcing he is going to Do Something sometime around September. But, it will not kick in till after the election, hence, if Biden wins, it will never happen.
Anyway, Biden is going to Brownsville, while Trump goes to Eagle Pass. Will the Credentialed Media show the difference in signs and protesters greeting the two? Biden did visit back in January 2023, mostly staying away from the areas where illegals surge across. He did walk near a portion of the border fencing, an area which is secure due to the fencing.
The Border Patrol Union head stated
“Unfortunately, a visit by President Biden three years into his term and after repeatedly stating there is no crisis is too little, too late. Whether stating it himself or through WH Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre, Biden has said he’s done everything he can to secure the border. If that was the truth, and it wasn’t, there would be no point in visiting the border now. But even if he were to put the proper policies in place at this late hour, he’d be doing it only to try to save his Presidency. And self-serving actions when time is winding down should always give Americans pause. Common sense dictates that as a lame duck, he’d revert back to his open border policies if re-elected. Biden is going to the border now solely to try to save himself. Border security should never be about politics, it should always be about the safety and security of this great nation and the American people.” –
President Brandon Judd
Exactly.
Every single bit of this is on Joe Biden and his minions who are intentionally flooding this country with millions of illegal aliens. No proper background or health checks, no regard for our laws, just get them in by the millions, consequences to the American people be damned. pic.twitter.com/4lXeFQElRZ

In Jan of 2021 just before being evicted Trump signed a directive allowing all migrants from Venezuela to enter the USA without a visa because they were fleeing “communism”
Around 600000 have done so.
That is a lie.
david did you even bother to check that? or did you just “know” that Trump would not do that???

“Trump grants Venezuelans temporary legal status on his way out”
david has embarrassed himself once again
Politico is not a source.
“h” makes a fool of himself once more.
John,
I can’t embarrass myself in making comments with you. If you only have politico as a source, then you have nothing. What I can’t understand is why you hate on Trump. If you bother to listen to him and observe what he accomplished as president, you would see that the common man is very important to him and he attempts to improve their lives. But the problems are the Dems stopping every effort. Why is that John.
“Facing low approval, Brandon promises to start pretending to care about the border”.
BB
“The border is secure.”
–Brandon–
My word as a Biden.
In 2020, October first fell on a Thursday.
That’s total BS. Try again, liar.
David doesn’t like politico.
I chose Politico because that was simply the first on a google search. Instead we will go to Wall Street Journal

“Trump approves deportation protections for Venezuelans in the US illegally”
David would you like to read the Miami Herald post on that ?
I got that for you also.
David you really should check before posting. It is really easy and can save you from looking like a complete idiot.
The way you stated that and waved it around like it was a big deal looked like you were trying to say it was forever. It wasn’t. The stays for 18 months. You should really check other places before posting it’ll save you from looking like a complete and total fool and a complete and total partisan.
Right now in America the only people coming from Venezuela are apparently young men of military age. We don’t need them H, you do to overthrow the government. We need professionals we need farmers we need all kinds of people but we don’t need gardeners, fast food workers, meat processors, and illegal drug distributors. Why do you find it desirable to bring communists and second and third world countries into our nation? Why do you think it’s a good idea to bring the lowest dregs of human society into America? Don’t we have enough of our own here right now?
Tell you what David how about Fox News? would you accept that ? cause I got that also!!

Jan 19, 2021″Trump blocks Venezuelans deportation in last political gift”
John,
All news comes from the AP and is then doctored by the various media depending on their political persuasion. Now, I still don’t know the truth of your statement and I certainly would not try to look something that got you so excited. Your skills in critical reading and logic are nonexistent. You mention FOX, why, I have never understood your and other ignorant liberals as to their obsession with FOX. Actually, I don’t think I have ever seen a FOX news cast. If I desire information I will review AlJazerra, Pravda, or CNN. But you must understand that I know how to read and can obtain the truth of a statement by knowing background, that you don’t and understanding what is not said as much as what is said.
Now, you statement about Trump and immigration may have some truth, but why did he do that? Was this an exchange or other event for which you have zero knowledge and how many immigrants came? But his deed pales in relation to Biden’s markedly illegal actions on the border.
Also, again, why do you hate Trump?
What’s this? The MAGAts here are lying about Big Donnie’s amnesty for Venezuelans? L
But then you MAGAts here still insist that Big Donnie won in 2020. Will Republicans ever again admit an election loss or is this the new Trumpublicanism?
You (Trump*) have no remaining respect for America, for elections, the Courts, the military, every level of government, every institution that has made America great – the world’s greatest universities, Congress, public and private schools, NATO, libraries, parks, the world’s best media, political parties, justice, healthcare, Our Constitution, our ideals – Democracy, freedom, individualism, equity, hard work, privacy, independence, fairness…
You’re all victims of the Trump Kult. You’ll come back to America at some time, we all hope it’s not too late.
__________________________
*Trump is faking this for you guys. He’s a genius at manipulation. It’s his signature and he’s walking you and America off a cliff.
Epoch Times (Falun Gong), Gateway Pundit, Newsmax, Daily Caller, Western Journal etc must have missed Trump giving amnesty to 145,000 Venezuelans. LOL.
Just admit you were wrong and move on.
You’re lying again, fatso,
What are phucking moron
Now for some FACTS: H/DOWD posted disinformation.
I shall attempt to set the record straight.
On Trump’s last day of office, the White House approved deferred deportation for S O M E Venezuelans. The White House issued a memo yesterday that approved Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for Venezuelans. Venezuelans who are ELIGIBLE for deferral can continue to live and work in the U.S., similar to those included under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program.
From The Memo Condemning Actions of the Venezuelan Government
WHY????
The White House memo expressed disapproval over the actions of the Venezuelan government and its President Nicolas Maduro. It accused the government of corruption and “the worst humanitarian crisis in the Western Hemisphere in recent memory. A catastrophic economic crisis and shortages of basic goods and medicine have forced about five million Venezuelans to flee the country, often under dangerous conditions,” the memo stated.
In 2018-2019 the Venezuelan economy began collapsing and in 2020 it did collapse because of COVID and the humongous loss of OIL revenue. A cautionary tale for the rest of the world as they attempt to destroy ENERGy in the form of fossil fuels rather than to slowly, methodically replace them with something “””””BETTER””””””.
To wit:
The memo went on to say that conditions in Venezuela were precarious, representing an ongoing national security threat to the safety and well-being of the American people, noting that “the deteriorative condition within Venezuela, which presents an ongoing national security threat to the safety and well-being of the American people, warrants the deferral of the removal of Venezuelan nationals who are present in the United States.”
He obviously did not “””””””””signed a directive allowing ALL migrants from Venezuela to ENTER the USA without a visa because they were fleeing “communism””””””””””” AS H CLAIMS.
Disinformation is so easy for the left because no one here bothered to research the truth. Each of you simply began the name-calling charade which is exactly what your resident leftists want to accomplish when they post anything on this website.
I suspect this is why 99 percent of my posts never make it to be read. FACTS MATTER except when they don’t. I remember a democrat (AOC)once claiming People want the truth, not the FACTS. LOLOLOLOL. That seems to be the common thread in the posts I read here.
The TRUTH is Trump did sorta do what H proposed. The facts of what he did is way different than how it was framed by H and dowd.
But some did and chose not to engage the resident idiots.
You’re guilty of the same misinformation and over-generalization you claim to oppose.
I realize I did a lame job of pointing out the errors of H and dowd, Facts Matter. But that all resorts back to what drowningpuppyies said, I was in no mood to continue to engage these clowns because it always becomes a circular fight with them. They say something you say something back they move the goal posts a little bit and they say something and you say something back and then they move the goal posts a little bit etcetera etcetera. I have realized over the years it’s hardly worth the effort. I, and others have shown since 2000 pictures of electoral cheating, ballot boxes being stuffed votes being pulled out from underneath of tables and counted two or three times windows being covered up in paper to block observers from seeing what the Democrats were doing with the votes. I’ve also listed at other places names and incidents of affidavits of cheating and the resultant refusal of judges to get involved. That doesn’t mean it didn’t happen it only means the judges don’t wanna open a can of worms.
We also spent the entire years of COVID explaining that everybody that got sick and died during that period of time was listed as a COVID fatality and they weren’t. Didn’t matter how much proof we supplied and only mattered that they close their mind. it didn’t matter how many times we told them masks and closing schools were ineffective ignored everything and continue to repeat that they were.
The fact is Facts Matter with closed minded bigoted people who are unwilling to look outside their own bubble it doesn’t matter how much evidence you produce how much logic you show them in your arguments they will never listen therefore it’s a moot point.
I’ve gotten to the point where more than half the time when I see Donald or H at the top of the comment I just skip over it because I know it’s going to be worthless dribble of rehashed rechewed and regurgitated leftist talking points. They never vary from what their bosses tell them. Which is why they think we’re a cult because they are and we all know about their propensity for projection.
But you should know when I see your name at the top of a comment I make sure to always read it thoroughly and sometimes repeatedly. That’s because Facts Matter, facts matter! That’s also because there is a truthfulness in what you write and you take the time to thoroughly explain what you’re talking about. I don’t have that kind of patience. But if there are two people here I always read it’s you and Dana. Cause the rest of us can get kinda mouthy because we’re tired of hearing the BS.

Mea culpa unnecessary. Don’t be so hard on yourself. You are nothing if not consistent. What can you do when the facts are aligned against you? “It was only 144,999 Venezuelans, liars!” “FOX, politico, AP, NBC, Wall Street Journal, PBS, Forbes, The US National Archives are liars!” “We deny the allegations and we deny the allegater!!”
Then-president Trump stopped the deportation of 145,000 Venezuelans who had crossed our open borders in the late 2010s!! He gave them temporary legal status and allowed work permits!! Full stop.
Ah, that explains it!!
As stated, then-president Trump deferred deportation of 145,000 Venezuelans.
You Trumputin knee-jerkers (dave, goingdownonpuppies, BloJo) bellowed “liar”, “false”, “untrue”, “sources”! Then again, the Trumputinista feel/believe that Fat Donnie won in 2020 and that Putin doesn’t try to help Fat Donnie, so there’s a lot you suppress.
To further enrage the Trumputinista…
Yes, Mr Turnbull, Sir, we saw it all. It is clear that our ex-president has a relationship with Putin that is of no benefit to the United States. Did you see Fat Donnie in Helsinki (July 2018) slobbering over Vlad the Invader, even nbacking him over the United States?? Fat Donnie is a Vlad fanboy!
Really is that all you got? We all know including you but Donald J trump is not a Putin fanboy. You’re just trying to be provocative. But your ignorance betrays you.
You like all communists allow your personal hatred for an individual cloud your judgment. It’s been clouded for eight years now. Perhaps it’s time to shake off the hatred and the prejudice and the intolerance and join with me and the rest of America and trying to get to an agreement on something and run this country and not into the ground like Biden is doing.
Is there nothing we can agree on?
The evidence conflicts with your feelings, doesn’t it. The former PM of Australia and your own eyes (Helsinki meeting) argue against you.
Yes, there is much we can agree on, but not on the danger of Mr Trump to American democracy. I hate the idea of a Trump presidency because I love America.
Look around you. Is American life more positive now than in early 2017? Hardly.
Another topic! Bump stocks. Texas-based gun owner and licensed dealer Michael Cargill is making the argument before the SC that Trump’s ban on bump stocks is unConstitutional because the 1934 “near ban” could not have envisaged bump stocks. I agree. If patriots are to have any chance to defeat the US military it needs machine guns or at least guns that act like machine guns. And what if your home is attacked by 12 or 20 “thugs” at once?
