US President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump have now tried to score points with separate appearances at the southern border with Mexico. Trump traveled to Eagle Pass in the state of Texas on Thursday (local time) and accused Biden of total failure in migration policy there.

Biden, in turn, accused Trump's Republicans of blocking additional resources for border security in Congress - and called for cooperation from both parties. The treatment of migrants has caused political disputes between Democrats and Republicans for years. The presidential election in November will result in another duel between Biden and Trump.
