Trump’s Texas Border Visit: Abbott Endorses Former President
Texas :- Former President Donald Trump made waves on Sunday with a visit to the Texas border near the US-Mexico border, garnering the endorsement of Texas Governor Greg Abbott in the process. At an event in Edinburg, Texas, Governor Abbott declared, “We need Donald J. Trump back as our president of the United States of America.”
Speaking before a small crowd at the South Texas International Airport, Trump criticized President Joe Biden’s border policies, asserting that the US currently faces the “most insecure border in the history, I believe, really, of the world.”

The former president has been amplifying his anti-immigrant rhetoric on the campaign trail, vowing to undertake the “largest domestic deportation operation in American history” if re-elected in 2024.
Trump’s campaign has outlined plans for a comprehensive expansion of hard-line immigration policies, encompassing both legal and illegal immigration restrictions.
This includes the contentious proposal to round up undocumented immigrants already in the US and place them in detention camps pending deportation. The ambitious plan would require the construction of large camps and the collaboration of federal and local law enforcement agencies for widespread arrests across the country.A spokesperson for the Trump campaign emphasized, “Stopping the invasion at our southern border is an urgent national security necessity and one of President Trump’s top priorities.”
The campaign’s statement highlighted Trump’s detailed program for securing the border, stopping illegal immigration, and removing those deemed ineligible for entry.
In response, Biden campaign officials condemned these policies as “unAmerican.” Campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez stated, “Simply put, Donald Trump is going after immigrants, our rights, our safety, and our democracy. And that is really what’s on the ballot next year.”
The Biden campaign also criticized Trump’s visit to the US-Mexico border, branding his immigration policies as “inhumane” and “draconian.”
Trump has drawn parallels between the Israel-Hamas war and immigration concerns, advocating for “ideological screenings” of immigrants, restrictions on predominantly Muslim countries, and the deportation of individuals with alleged “jihadist sympathies” who are in the US on visas.
