Biden intends to make his first presidential trip to the border between the United States and Mexico.

 When he travels to Mexico next week, the president, Joe Biden, announced on Wednesday that he intends to stop at the border.

As he travels to Mexico City for the North American Leaders' Summit, Biden told reporters following a meeting in Kentucky that it is his "intention" to stop at the border.

Without revealing where on the border he will go, he said, "We're working out the logistics now.

Additionally, Biden told reporters that he would be giving a statement on Thursday about border security.

Biden stated on a visit to the border, "I'm simply going to observe what's going on.

Biden is visiting the border for the first time as president.

Biden has consistently come under fire from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle for refusing to travel to the border despite increased migration at the ports of entry.

Republicans, who won the majority in the House in the midterm elections in November, have vowed to criticise the administration for its allegedly ineffective border policies.

It wasn't immediately apparent where Biden will travel along the nearly 2,000-mile border. However, El Paso, Texas, has recently been the heart of a humanitarian immigration crisis.

Each month, tens of thousands of migrants cross the border in El Paso, including more than 50,000 in each of the months of October and November.

Following the release of more than 10,000 migrants and asylum seekers by Border Patrol in a single week, El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser announced a state of emergency last month. Numerous people have reportedly camped out on city streets.

Many of the migrants that Border Patrol has freed are difficult to send back to Mexico or their home countries in accordance with Title 42.

Some members of Congress have already praised Biden for his decision to go to the border.

I commend your travel to our southern border, the president was told in a tweet from Laredo Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar, who has been urging the administration to act more forcefully to control the border.

The senior Texas congressman from a border district, Cuellar, stated, "Our border communities are witnessing a crisis, the depth of which can only be understood by seeing it personally." "We appreciate you starting to handle this matter.
