Border security is not a political issue to weaponize – it’s a responsibility we all share.

So is immigration.

I’m not interested in playing politics with either.

I’m interested in fixing them.

Two weeks ago, I did what the Republicans in Congress refuse to do.

I took action to secure our border.

I restricted unlawful crossings and enabled quicker decisions on asylum – and since we implemented my order, border encounters have dropped about 25%.

Juneteenth is a testament of how far this nation has come – and it reminds us that we have a hell of a lot more work to do.

Let’s keep marching. pic.twitter.com/TyUWZuixMo

On June 19, 1865, freedom came for the 250,000 enslaved people of Texas.

That day would become known as Juneteenth, the mark of the end of our original sin, slavery, and the beginning of our work to make the promise of America real –
