In this episode of The Bald Brad Show, President Biden is visiting the southern border Sunday for the first time in his presidency, amid growing political pressure in Washington on the issue and while migrant numbers remain at historic highs.

Biden landed in El Paso, Texas, which has been the epicenter of a recent spike in migrant encounters. The White House says he will meet with elected local officials and community leaders while also assessing border operations. 

"I know that migration is putting a real strain on the border and on border communities," Biden said Thursday.

There were more than 2.3 million migrant encounters in FY 2022 alone, topping the then-historic 1.7 million encountered in FY 2021. So far in FY 2023, which began in October, the first two months have outpaced the same period last year — with 233,740 encounters in November, compared to 174,845 in 2021 and 73,994 in 2020.

A Texas border congressman said that the White House's explanation for why he "couldn’t attend" President Biden’s first-ever trip to the southern border is "insulting" and shows the administration is "not willing to work" with the GOP.

Texas Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales of El Paso was snubbed by the White House on Biden's visit to his district which covers a large swath of the southern border.

Furthermore, the Biden administration’s Consumer Product Safety Commission is considering a nationwide ban on gas-burning stoves following a new study that claimed the appliances emit harmful pollution that has been linked to asthma in children, Bloomberg reported.

According to the EPA and the World Health Organization, gas-burning stoves emit unsafe levels of nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter, which are reported to be linked to respiratory illness, cardiovascular issues, cancer, and other conditions.

A December report from the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health claimed that over 12% “of current childhood asthma nationwide is attributed to gas stove use, which is similar to the childhood asthma burden attributed to secondhand smoke exposure.”

“Gas stove usage should be considered in multi-faceted asthma prevention approaches,” the report added. “Given that this exposure is preventable, our study demonstrates that known mitigation strategies will lessen childhood asthma burden from gas stoves.”

Approximately 35% of homes in the United States use gas stoves.
