The issue of migration plays an important role in the US presidential election campaign. Joe Biden and Donald Trump are trying to score points with parallel appearances on the border with Mexico.
Several hundred kilometers away in Brownsville, Texas, Biden admitted that the situation at the border was difficult. “It’s time to act,” he said. “We have to do more.” He, in turn, accused Trump’s Republicans of persistently blocking additional resources for border security in Congress. The Democrat, who wants to run for a second term in the November presidential election, called for a willingness to compromise and bipartisanship. Addressing Trump, he said: “Instead of playing political games with the issue, we should come together and get this done.
The issue of migration plays a particularly important role in the presidential election campaign. The vote in November will result in another duel between Biden and Trump. Republicans accuse Biden of having lost control of protecting the US southern border given the large number of migrants.
