"Contrasting Border Visits: Biden and Trump's Texas Showdown"
President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are making dueling appearances on the Texas border, with Biden choosing Brownsville and Trump picking Eagle Pass, providing sharply different backdrops. The Rio Grande Valley, where Brownsville is located, has seen a sharp drop in illegal crossings, while Del Rio, which includes Eagle Pass, has become a new hotspot for migration. The two cities have different capacities for handling migrants, with Brownsville being more capable due to its larger population and infrastructure. Both cities are Democratic strongholds, but Republicans are gaining ground, especially in the Eagle Pass area, where Texas Governor Greg Abbott has focused his multibillion-dollar border campaign.
