EL PASO, Texas — President Joe Biden has kicked off his first trip to the U.S.-Mexico border while in office, landing at the El Paso International Airport Sunday afternoon.
KGUN 9 sent a team to El Paso where reporters learned the president first met Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
However, President Biden quickly left due to a busy schedule including:
- Visiting a migrant facility
- Touring the bridge of Americas
Today, I met with President Biden during his first visit to the border.
— Gov. Greg Abbott (@GovAbbott) January 8, 2023
I hand-delivered a letter asking him to do his constitutional duty to secure our border and keep Texans — and Americans — safe.
