President Joe Biden was confronted at the airport in El Paso on Sunday by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who demanded in a hand-delivered letter that Biden act immediately to stop unauthorized immigration including by building more walls on the border.
Abbott told reporters that in his letter to Biden, he described “the chaos that his refusal to enforce the border laws” has caused in Texas and demanded a US crackdown on migrants who cross into the U.S. outside ports of entry or live in the country without authorization.
“He needs to step up and take swift action,” the governor said. The president, he said, responded that “he wanted to work with us on this.”
