AUSTIN, Texas – Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa issued the following statement:

“Texas Democrats are honored to welcome President Joe Biden to my hometown of Brownsville this week. And while the President addresses bipartisan border security funding solutions with local officials, Border Patrol and law enforcement – Donald Trump will visit Greg Abbott’s movie set and boast about how he killed the toughest and fairest border security bill in decades. It's a stark contrast: Biden is working to tackle border issues head on while Trump indulges in self-promotion as usual. South Texans see through the MAGA Republicans' border theatrics for Fox News and know that Democrats are the party ready to address real issues and get to work. As my community prepares for Charro Days and President Biden’s visit, let's remember: Border towns and our vibrant cultures define Texas and the United States.”
