Biden urges Trump to ‘join’ him in telling Congress to pass border legislation

President Joe Biden called on former President Donald Trump to “join” him in urging Congress to pass new border legislation during a speech in Brownsville, Texas.

During his remarks, Biden cast blame on Trump for tanking a bipartisan border security bill in the Senate earlier this month, and called on House Republicans to “show a little spine” on the issue.

“Instead of telling members of Congress to block this legislation, join me, or I’ll join you, in telling the Congress to pass this bipartisan border security bill, ” Biden said, addressing Trump directly. “We can do it together. You know and I know it’s the toughest, most efficient, most effective border security bill this country’s ever seen.”
