[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] Former U.S. President Donald Trump, who has expressed his intention to run again in the next presidential election, will visit Texas, which borders Mexico, at the end of this month.

On the 15th (local time), Trump announced in a statement that he accepted an invitation from Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott to visit the southern border region on the 30th, according to major foreign media reports. They have pointed out that illegal immigration has significantly increased due to the Biden administration's humanitarian approach.

He stated, "The Biden administration inherited the strongest and safest border in American history from me, but turned it into the worst border in just a few weeks." He added, "Border security, once envied by the world, has become lawless and is now receiving the world's sympathy."

Trump did not disclose which areas along the 1,250-mile (approximately 2,000 km) border with Mexico he plans to visit.

President Biden moved quickly to reverse the anti-immigration policies of the previous Trump administration immediately after taking office. On his first day, he signed executive orders that included lifting restrictions on the reallocation of funds for the Mexico border wall, rescinding travel bans on certain Muslim-majority countries, and strengthening the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which delays deportation of undocumented youth.

He also unveiled a new immigration bill that would grant legal status and a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants residing in the U.S. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), more than 530,000 illegal immigrants were apprehended at the border and returned to Mexico between March and May.

The Republican Party has labeled this a border crisis and is attacking the Biden administration. Governor Abbott said, "Texas will push forward what President Biden has refused to do to protect citizens along the southern border."
