Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, visiting Mexico, says that the United States has the right to build a border wall to halt illegal immigration. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
A makeshift migrant camp looks nearly empty in Mexico's Matamoros, at the border with Brownsville, Texas, where Democrat US President Joe Biden is expected to meet border patrol and other law enforcement agents. Also heading to the border is Republican former president Donald Trump, who will be about 300 miles (480 kilometers) to the west in Eagle Pass. The Texas showdown comes at a time when record numbers of migrant crossings into the United States are posing a threat to Biden's chances of preventing a Trump comeback in November's presidential election.

Republican lawmakers pass an immigration package that would restart stalled construction of Donald Trump's southern border wall as the United States braces for a sudden increase in migrant crossings from Mexico. The Secure the Border Act of 2023, which advanced from the Republican-led House of Representatives on a roughly party-line 219-213 vote, would reintroduce several signature Trump-era measures, from completing the wall to bolstering asylum restrictions.

As if dealing with the drama of the US general election wasn't challenging enough, US citizens who live in Mexico--and want to vote--have it even worse. According to Business Insider, those Americans must endure hours-long waits at the border before they reach the ballot box. On Election Day, thousands of US citizens living in Mexico crowded the international bridges to El Paso, Texas, just to cast their vote. Most waited over two hours. The international bridge between Ciudad Juarez and El Paso was also completely full. Even with COVID-related restrictions in place, the line stretched out for nearly a mile. But voters whose lives straddle the border say it's a small price to participate in an election that will have a profound impact on both countries. All this extreme border vigilance, the paranoia, and the hate speech toward us, Latinos, is exactly why we needed to vote today. Joaquín Almanza US Citizen, Juarez resident
