The border issue was supposed to be Donald Trump's problem, but President Biden went to the border and outmaneuvered Trump.
What did Biden say at the border?
Mr. Biden said:
The bill was about to pass in the U.S. Senate, but was stalled by partisan politics. The U.S. Senate needs to reconsider this bill, and senators who oppose the bill should put politics aside and base it on merits, not whether it benefits one party or the other. The bill needs to be passed. The question is whether it will benefit the American people. What we deserve. The Speaker must consider this bill. Because if we debate this bill indefinitely, the Democratic and Republican majorities in both chambers will support it until someone comes along and says no. . That would benefit the incumbent. It's an outrageous way to do business in America for a problem this serious. we need to act.
It's time for the Speaker and his Republican friends in Congress who are blocking this bill to straighten up a little bit and pass a bipartisan border bill, don't forget conservatives.
Leaders supported this border security bill.
For God's sake, let's remember who we are working for. We work for the American people. I'll end this with this. I understood about my predecessor at Eagle Pass today. So, what I would like to say to Mr. playing cards Rather than implement policy this year, instead of instructing members of Congress to block this bill, join me in instructing Congress to pass this bipartisan border security bill. will also be added. We can do it together, and I know this is the toughest, most efficient, most effective border security bill this country has ever seen. So unless we remember who the hell we're working for, why would we just get together and try to solve the problem instead of playing politics with it? We work for the American people.

Biden beats Trump on his own issues
When Trump was lying and screaming in Eagle Pass that immigrants were plotting to kill us all; President Biden delivered the message that most voters want to hear. Biden said Democrats and Republicans should work together to get things done.
President Biden has gone to the border to beat Trump on his own issues by claiming that both sides can fix the border, but Donald Trump is standing in his way.
The Trump campaign's centerpiece issue became the moment of Biden's victory.
