Hidalgo County Judge responds to announcement of President Biden’s visit to the U.S.-Mexico border
EDINBURG, Texas – Hidalgo County Judge Richard F. Cortez issued the following statement in response to the announcement that President Biden would be visiting the border region:
“I applaud President Biden’s decision to visit the U.S.-Mexican border and see firsthand the challenges that border communities currently are facing. He is always welcome to the Rio Grande Valley and his decision to visit elsewhere is not disappointing. What is important is his decision to visit the border.
Our hope is that this visit highlights the challenges border communities are facing and the need for comprehensive immigration reform as well as underscoring the need for Congress to act.”
Cornyn Statement on Biden’s Upcoming Border Visit
‘If he wants to make this a meaningful trip that seeks tough solutions to the unmitigated disaster his policies have created, I’d be happy to point him in the right direction.’
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) released the following statement in response to President Biden’s remarks on immigration and his upcoming visit to the southern border:
“While I’m glad President Biden will finally come to the border, his visit can’t be a check-the-box photo-op like his Border Czar’s stunt more than a year and a half ago, which was unserious and unacceptable. He must take the time to learn from some of the experts I rely on the most, including local officials and law enforcement, landowners, nonprofits, U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s officers and agents, and folks who make their livelihoods in border communities on the front lines of his crisis.”
“If he wants to make this a meaningful trip that seeks tough solutions to the unmitigated disaster his policies have created, I’d be happy to point him in the right direction.”
