The New York Times is reporting that President Joe Biden will be meeting with border patrol agents, law enforcement and city leaders in Brownsville, Texas on Thursday to discuss the urgent need for a border agreement, as congress has failed to pass a bipartisan bill to address the border issue after former President Trump denounced a bipartisan bill passed by the Senate that was subsequently tanked by GOP members of the House.
