US President Joe Biden is shortly due to deliver remarks at the US-Mexico border. Biden's remarks come a few hours after former President Donald Trump delivered his own speech, at a different location on the border, to stake out a duelling position on the border crisis. LIVESTREAM
- CNN notes that Biden and Trump are, "already feuding over their first-term records on immigration, and their visits will mark the most visible and intense manifestation yet of their likely rematch."
- ABC reports: "Biden, taking a get-tougher offensive to fend off Republican attacks he hasn't done enough to control record migrant crossings, will meet with law enforcement officials and local leaders in Brownsville, Texas. There, he will again call on Congress to pass a bipartisan Senate border security and immigration reform bill -- dismissed by House Republicans after Trump objected that it would help Biden in November."
