WASHINGTON — For two years, Republicans have clamored for President Joe Biden to visit the border with Mexico. He finally did on Sunday — and it has brought no respite from allegations that his policies have triggered an unprecedented crisis of migration.
Instead of El Paso, he should have gone to South Texas, they said. He wasn’t there long enough. He averted his eyes from the worst of it, they said, condemning the visit as a half-hearted and long overdue recognition of a crisis of his own making.
Rep. Michael Burgess hit Biden for having the “audacity to pose for photos by Trump’s border wall — which he defunded.”
