President JoeBiden to make long-awaited border visit after immigration strategy reboot
Biden had resisted repeated calls to make the trip, with aides dismissing the idea as political theater. The president last visited the border in 2013, years before the Trump administration’s hard-line policies revived attention to the issue.
“Do not just show up at the border,” Biden said to immigrants from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua in remarks at the White House on Thursday. “Stay where you are and apply legally from there.” The relationship has not always been smooth. As Biden prepared to host Latin American leaders in Los Angeles, the White House downplayed Mexico’s boycott from the summit.
