The dueling border battle between Trump and Biden

 Brandon Judd:

Former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden will hold dueling border visits in Texas on Thursday, February 29. But if Democrats are expecting Biden to put up an epic fight, they are going to be sorely disappointed.

Trump has done his homework for several weeks. He has deliberated about the best place on the border to visit with several people, including myself, and he made a wise decision. He chose a location that will highlight Biden’s massive failings — Eagle Pass, Texas.

On February 23, Trump’s team strategically released his intentions to visit the border. The leak elicited the exact response he was hoping for from Biden. The knee-jerk reaction from Biden set in motion a border visit that saw him put together a trip to the safe haven of Brownsville, Texas.

TEXAS BORDER RESIDENTS 'NOT HAPPY' AHEAD OF BIDEN'S VISIT: 'HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE'S DONE'

Trump will be at Shelby Park, a location that Texas Governor Greg Abbott was forced to seize because of the rampant lawlessness fueled by the Biden administration’s policies. Biden will visit an extremely slow location in a very friendly congressional district that historically hasn’t seen much illegal traffic, in large part due to the infrastructure Trump provided while in office, and more recently due to the immediate actions of Abbott after Biden took office.

Trump, and America, will see how walls of razor wire and shipping containers have made entering Shelby Park nearly impossible. He’ll be able to evaluate how the use of his policies while he was in office has helped Abbott. And he’ll be able to use the visit to expand upon his already successful policies when he’s re-elected.

He’ll listen to ideas from opposing viewpoints, something I’ve seen him do many times in the past to come to the best decision. He’ll end his visit by explaining to the American people what he will do to protect them when back in office. Biden will end his visit by blaming everyone else, including Trump, for his miserable failings.

Biden will see absolutely nothing that will help promote new ideas to deal with his crisis. He won’t see an illegal crossing take place, though he’s encouraged millions to do so. He’ll be fawned over by sycophants, including the entire mainstream media. He’ll end his visit by blaming everyone else, including Trump, for his own miserable failings. He (OK, his handlers) made a horrible decision to challenge his Republican rival to a duel he can’t win.

But the men and women who are most cognizant of Biden’s failings are U.S. Border Patrol agents. Agents will scoff at Biden’s audacity in visiting the disaster zone he created to score cheap political points at a stage of the game you can only characterize as "garbage time." The agents who have worked under both Trump and Biden have experienced first-hand the competent, caring leadership of Trump and the deadly, disastrous "leadership" of Joe Biden.

To agents, border security is not a political issue, it is literally a matter of life and death. We just witnessed that sad reality again in the recent murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley. Agents don’t care about party affiliation. Agents care about which person gives them the best shot at securing the border. In this case, based upon indisputable, historical facts, Trump is that person.
...

Biden's irresponsible border policy will be exposed by the trip as the media follows both Trump and Biden to the border.   The Border Patrol agents will get a chance to describe what Biden has done to effectively open the border and allow millions of illegals into the country.  

Brownville is at the very tip of Texas where the Rio Grande flows into the Gulf of Mexico.  It is probably the least desirable spot for migrants to enter the US.  It gives the migrant the longest route into the central US and a difficult journey through the King Ranch where there are several Border Patrol agents with roadblocks to capture them and Texas DPS officers to arrest them.  That is why most illegals are avoiding that area.  

I am familiar with that trip because my family lived in San Benito about 20 miles north of Brownsville and I made the trip through the King Ranch many times going to Austin to attend the University of Texas.  It is one of the reasons that many migrants are now using the route through Arizona and California to get into the US.
