Border visit

US President Joe Biden (center) flanked by Brownsville, Texas, Mayor John Cowen (left), Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas (2nd left) and Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas), speaks about immigration at the Brownsville Station during a visit, his second since 2021, to the US-Mexico border on Thursday — his second border trip since taking office in 2021 – and met border patrol agents and other law enforcement officials. Migration is 81-year-old Biden’s biggest political weak spot apart from his age, with Republicans blaming Biden’s policies favoring the right to asylum for the flow of migrants. AFP
