President Joe Biden's trip to Arizona on Tuesday includes no plans for a stop at the border, which has seen more illegal immigrants cross during his presidency than during any other period of U.S. history.
Since taking office in January 2021, Biden has yet to visit the Mexican border, despite many politicians, including some liberals, urging him to visit. The president's trip to the Grand Canyon State will have a trip to Phoenix but includes no mention of a visit to the border, despite being a little more than 100 miles away from the city, according to Fox News.
"If Biden does not visit the border while in Arizona and talk to the men and women who risk their lives every day during a historic border security crisis, then he will show he has truly abandoned the agency that works 24/7 to keep this country safe," Tom Homan, the director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement under Trump, told Fox News Digital. "What kind of commander in chief abandons those on the front line because of politics? The fact is, Joe Biden won’t visit the border because he doesn’t want to be confronted with the reality of the destruction his policies have caused."
