Texas governor hand-delivers letter demanding Biden secure the border

When President Biden landed in El Paso on Sunday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was waiting for him with a letter begging the president to swallow his pride and start securing the border

The Republican governor accused Mr. Biden of having “sanitized” the city by ousting migrants who had been swamping the city streets, trying to lessen the visual impact of the surge of illegal immigration.

Mr. Abbott also said Mr. Biden was missing out on the real story because he was scheduled a visit to a border crossing but did not have plans to visit the actual border areas where illegal immigrants are coming with near-impunity.
