Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit the border in Eagle Pass, Texas, this Thursday, where he will meet with local officials and CBP officers to discuss the high volume of migrants crossing into the US.
During his visit, Trump is expected to assess the progress of the border wall that he initiated, having completed over 500 miles of it. He will also discuss the fate of his policy known as the “Remain in Mexico” policy, which he considers highly successful. The visit comes as the border faces a surge in illegal crossings, with almost 9 million immigrants entering through the border.
Trump’s visit to Texas follows his recent victory against Nikki Haley in the Michigan primary. Local activists see this visit as an attempt by the former president to engage with Texas voters, as immigration remains a key topic of interest for many in the state.
