Biden to visit border for first time as critics condemn migrant crackdown
President will first make brief stop in El Paso as migrants have reportedly been cleared off streets and apprehended by agents
President Joe Biden will visit the US-Mexico border for the first time in his nearly two years as commander-in-chief on Sunday, even as lawmakers and immigrant rights advocates widely condemn his administration’s latest hardline response to the deepening humanitarian emergency there.
Biden – who is due in Mexico City this week for an international summit – will first make a brief pit stop in El Paso, a recent ground zero for the consequences of a US immigration system that he has readily acknowledged is deeply broken.
