@POTUS bits:

The battle for the soul of America has many fronts, but the freedom to vote is fundamental.

Today, as the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act is reintroduced in the Senate, our call to protect the sacred right to vote is renewed.

Congress, send this bill to my desk.

The Border Patrol agents, law enforcement officers, and asylum officers I met with today reiterated what we already know:

Inflation is the lowest it has been in nearly three years.

And wages, wealth, and jobs are higher than they were before the pandemic.

Our bipartisan border security deal would make our nation safer, secure our border, and treat people humanely while preserving legal immigration.

Congressional Republicans pleaded for border action.

We delivered.

Now, they're playing politics at the expense of border security.

— President Biden (@POTUS) February 29, 2024

Today, I'll travel to Brownsville, Texas on America's southern border to meet with border and immigration officials, and discuss the need for Congress to move forward on our bipartisan border security deal.

It's tough. It's fair. And it's time we got it done.
