HIDALGO, Texas — KHOU 11 News is at the border where former President Donald Trump is expected to visit. He will join Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to discuss plans to continue building a border wall
Former President Trump’s visit will be on Wednesday, as he tours the border wall with Gov. Abbott.
The last time the former president was here was in January, right before he left office. Now, things are very different along the border. Border wall construction has stopped under President Biden. Gov. Abbott is trying to pick up where former President Trump left off.
The governor has already declared a disaster in several Texas border counties and he’s laying the groundwork for Texas to finish building its own border wall
Border issues and illegal immigration are hot button issues used by both political parties – Democrats and Republicans -- so at times, it may be difficult to know what exactly is happening at the border.

They’re stories you’ll only see live on KHOU 11 News staring Tuesday afternoon, leading up to former President Trump’s visit Wednesday.
