Congressman Gonzalez Welcomes President Biden to Brownsville, Texas

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS– Today, Congressman Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) will travel with President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., to Brownsville, Texas, where they will both meet with U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel and local officials. Afterwards, they will deliver remarks urging for passage of the Senate’s Bipartisan Border and Security Package to reform the country’s immigration system. 

“I am appreciative of President Biden for heeding my many calls and efforts to make this visit happen,” said Congressman Gonzalez. “I welcome and thank him for meeting with U.S. CBP personnel and local leaders; and calling for swift action to strengthen our Southern Border. Earlier this month, House Republicans had a clear opportunity to pass a bipartisan measure that would better fund the needs of our Border Patrol agents and Customs officers. Unfortunately, they continue to play political games at the expense of not only our community but the country as a whole. South Texans demand action and we must deliver!”
