The Border Patrol union mocked President Biden on Saturday for his trip to the Texas border this week.
"Board AF1, take nap. Wake up in place called Brownsville," the union wrote on X, formerly Twitter, in a joke itinerary of his day, along with a photo of Biden resting in a beach lounge chair. "Read large teleprompter message, ‘It's all Trump's fault.’ Board AF1, ask who people in green uniforms were, told they ‘strap’ illegal aliens, express horror, take nap. Wake up, call a lid, hit beach, take nap."
While in Brownsville on Thursday, Biden lamented that the bipartisan immigration bill failed to pass in the Senate, blaming Trump for using it as a political issue. Many Republicans have expressed their opposition to the bill, which they say doesn't do enough.
"The majority of Democrats and Republicans in both houses support this legislation," Biden said in Brownsville, "until someone came along and said don't do that that'll benefit the incumbent. That's a hell of a way to do business in America for such a serious problem."
The president faces increasing scrutiny over his handling of the border as the Border Patrol continues to report a record number of migrant encounters.
In December alone, there were more than 300,000 encounters – an all-time record.
The issue also threatens to hurt Biden politically ahead of November’s presidential election.
