, scoffed at Biden's outreach. "All he’s going to do down there is rearrange the chairs on the deck of the Titanic. He’s not going to achieve any solutions that will make the border safer, more secure and stop illegal immigration," he told Fox News Channel. Abbott was on hand as Biden got off Air Force One, giving the the president a letter that outlined laws that the governor said would make a great difference, if enforced, in addressing the "chaos" at the border.
In El Paso, where migrants congregate at bus stops and in parks before traveling on, border patrol agents have stepped up security before Biden's visit. Migrants and asylum-seekers fleeing violence and persecution have increasingly found that protections in the United States are available primarily to those with money or the savvy to find someone to vouch for them financially.
The U.S. will also turn away migrants who do not seek asylum first in a country they traveled through en route to the U.S. Migrants are being asked to complete a form on a phone app so that they can go to a port of entry at a pre-scheduled date and time. The changes were welcomed by some, particularly leaders in cities where migrants have been massing. But Biden was excoriated by immigrant advocate groups, which accused him of taking measures modeled after those of the former president. Administration officials disputed that characterization.For all of his international travel over his 50 years in public service, Biden has not spent much time at the U.S.-Mexico border.
He had no idea where he was or who was going to change his diaper.
Simple political strategy... he is now running for reelection, can now say he cares about the border and when nothing gets done can blame the Republican House. If he actually cared he would have done something before now.
I don't see Abbott handling this problem nor all the gun violence in Texas yet he was voted in again. Abbott served two terms and has not done anything good for Texas. The grid is not fixed yet and the parents of the dead kids in Uvalde have no answers
Well of course not ! He doesn’t want to solve the problem because he has to have something to blame republicans for and it would take votes away from dems in his way of thinking
Almost three years in office and he finally goes to the boarder. He went to a well run boarder port of entry, not where the massive influx of migrants is happening. The same place Harris went. This didn't impress me at all.
What a waste of a trip.
You mean people crossing illegally?
He’s useless. He’s worse than Carter.
When the GP goes down there, they have photo ops of them complying on the river and meeting with border patrol...not migrants. So it would follow that they're not interested in solutions either.
Staged president takes stages tour of staged border area.

Our borders are not negotiable….it’s integrity must be enforced and preserved…..we are not a free-for-all
LoriMills4CA42 Bs.
LoriMills4CA42 Did he even see any migrants, or did they clear them all out!?
It was reminiscent of Hiltlers last tour of Berlin a few days before Russia took it - you know, when Goebells staged everything to look as if they were winning the War? And they weren't? Samesy's. Lol.
Freaking joke!
Saw nothing, did nothing, will now need another vacation to recover .
Because they disappeared them all.
Of course not. They kept him far away from the masses crossing our border.
Yes, they cleaned it up the day before. Most know the migrants are not crossing at ports of entry. You do practice Journalism or are you part of the problem? Evident.
I can’t imagine why he didn’t…
Shoes got dirty?
They cleaned up the streets of El Paso-removed all the illegals' tents and trash. They disappeared all the illegals-just for Bidens visit and the cameras.
His puppetmasters were afraid he'd yell them he knew how they felt because he was once an immigrant from Guatemala & got bit by an alligator while swimming across the Rio Grand.
Photo op. That’s it.
Photo stunt
Potemkin Border.
Sickening.
Why were some streets cleaned up before his visit? Why not show what is REALLY going on?
When does Kamala visit since she's in charge of it?
Stop stealing reparations from blacks and giving it to illegal immigrants!
Illegitimate president you mean.
