‘Languages Are Coming Into Our Country’
The former president kicked off his appearance in Eagle Pass, Texas, with a heavy dose of xenophobia
Both Donald Trump and President Joe Biden addressed migration across the southern border during dual visits to Texas on Thursday.
Trump spoke in Eagle Pass, a border town in the Rio Grande Valley that has become a flashpoint recently due to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s dispatch of the Texas National Guard to wrest control from U.S. Border Patrol agents.
During his speech, Trump said that Biden was allowing “millions of people from places unknown” to cross the border illegally. He keyed on those who speak the language of their country of origin.
“We have languages coming into our country, nobody that speaks those languages,” Trump said. “They’re truly foreign languages. Nobody speaks them.”
Biden, meanwhile, visited the city of Brownsville, located at the southern tip of Texas, where he addressed Trump directly and criticized him for pressuring Republicans to kill bipartisan border reform legislation, which failed to advance in the Senate earlier this month. House Speaker Mike Johnson and other House Republicans also widely rejected the bill, which Trump feared would help Biden’s election prospects.
“Instead of telling members of Congress to block this legislation, join me, or I’ll join you, in telling Congress to pass this bipartisan border security bill,” Biden said on Thursday. “We can do it together; instead of playing politics, let’s get it done.”
