President Joe Biden faced pleas for help in addressing the migrant crisis as he traveled Sunday to the U.S.-Mexico border for the first time since taking office, visiting El Paso, where migrants are sleeping on the streets. Biden walked along a section of the rust-colored border wall that separates El Paso from Juárez, Mexico, and met with local officials, community leaders and others who are dealing daily with the humanitarian crisis. “They need a lot of resources," he told reporters who asked what he learned. "We're going to get it for them.” Biden's trip came amid criticism from Republicans and some Democratic lawmakers that he hasn’t done enough to address a surge of migrants at the southern border. From Texas, Biden departed for Mexico City for meetings with the leaders of Mexico and Canada on immigration and other issues.
