President Joe Biden faced pleas for help in addressing the migrant crisis as he traveled Sunday to the U.S.-Mexico border for the first time since taking office, visiting El Paso, where migrants are sleeping on the streets.
Biden walked along a section of the rust-colored border wall that separates El Paso from Juarez, Mexico, and met with local officials, community leaders and others who are dealing daily with the humanitarian crisis. “They need a lot of resources," he told reporters who asked what he learned. "We're going to get it for them.”
Biden's trip, which lasted about four hours, comes amid criticism from Republicans and some Democratic lawmakers that he hasn’t done enough to address a surge of migrants at the southern border. From Texas, Biden departed for Mexico City for meetings with North American leaders on immigration and other issues.

Joe and Kamala should’ve dealt with the border issue when they took office in 2021. It’s now 2023 and it’s obvious they don’t care.
They flat out denied it even existed back then.
Wonder how many talibans the cartel is smuggling over them open borders
The boarders had been taken care of by President Trump. Title 42. Joke Ibiden reversed it on his first day in office.
Dementia made sure he thought it looked pretty good
Hello Cleveland 👋
– Joe Biden
I bet the people of this town if you check your cell phone the GPS is slightly askew every possible security measure is in place at the moment
This is almost as good as aoc photo opp. Lmao.
What did this BIG Really Big event change American Open Borders
oh the instagram memes are on fire lol
What new laws ??
What *changed* ??
nothing
How is this considered world news when in fact he should’ve been down to the border a while back
I hope my non-existent retirement goes as well as his presidency. Multi-week vacation, playing bad games of golf and then taking a luxy plane for strolls throughout Texas and a quick check on the border he doesn’t care about. Man can dream
let me sniff that taco bowl
“So where’s this taco shack I’ve heard so much about?”—joe Biden
Its already been reported on how they cleared the city out for him. This is pathetic.
They brushed it off for years to let it get real bad, and now they come in and do all of this for show to act like they’re fixing the problem they created. They do the same with Gas prices and just about everything else.
You’re absolutely right…. Good afternoon Lisa how are you doing over there hope you’re having a wonderful day it’s a lovely day that the lord has made.
Protecting our borders, one of the most important duties of the POTUS. It only took 2 years.
I guess you ‘re right
Happiness bring joy
They probably had to wake him up and tell him they were stopping for ice cream 😢😭🇺🇸😭😢
Hail to the Turd!
Oh is this where Brandon pretends he’s doing something about all those drugs streaming in from his open border revolving door?
It took him two years and Kamala didn’t go when she was told to. Avoidance doesn’t make the problem disappear.
Hey joke obiden, auntie Carma is coming to visit you.💣
