(Reuters) – Republican Donald Trump received the endorsement of Texas Governor Greg Abbott at an occasion close to the U.S.-Mexico border on Sunday, a location meant to focus on the previous U.S. president’s plans to crack down on immigration if he wins the 2024 election.
Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination to problem Democratic President Joe Biden subsequent 12 months, traveled to Edinburg, Texas, with Abbott to go to Texas Nationwide Guard troopers, Texas Division of Public Security troopers and different service members stationed there.
Trump and different main Republicans contend that Biden has put U.S. communities at risk with file ranges of migrants flowing into the USA from Mexico illegally.
Trump has pledged to crack down on unlawful immigration and prohibit authorized immigration if elected subsequent 12 months. His plan features a promise to revive his 2019 “remain in Mexico” program, which compelled non-Mexican asylum-seekers hoping to enter the USA on the Mexican border to attend in Mexico for the decision of their circumstances.
This system was terminated by Biden, who defeated Trump in 2020, pledging extra humane and orderly immigration insurance policies. However he has struggled with file ranges of migrants caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally.
Abbott has emerged as a number one Republican determine on border points by mounting his personal Operation Lone Star border safety initiative, a controversial plan to cease migration that has put his state at odds with the Biden administration.
