Republicans have been obsessed with the topic of President Joe Biden not yet visiting the southern border during his presidency. See, unless he physically goes there and gets in the Rio Grande shrubbery like some nature episode, it’s not anything he really cares about despite his endorsement of numerous immigration bills, and introducing a proposal of his own.
But it’s not like Republicans’ visits to the border are anything serious, I need to add. They are theater, and seven-time House speaker loser (and counting, probably!) Kevin McCarthy has in particular been a fan of these kinds of stunts and anti-immigrant demonizing when he needs some attention off himself. But stunts is all they have. That’s it. Well, Republicans are getting their wish following news that the president intends to go to the border next week. In addition to the border visit news, the president in a speech today also addressed new policy at the border.
