is causing controversy. days ago the city was overwhelmed with migrants sleeping on the streets. when biden arrived they were all gone. the president taking heat for avoiding the migrants themselves despite border patrol sources telling fox they encountered more than 500 illegal immigrants in el paso yesterday. biden is calling the trip a learning experience. [inaudible]. one of the most notable moments of the trip happened when texas governor greg abbott hand delivered biden a scathing letter. abbott is furious over the accusation that biden s visit was white washed. he was receiving a sanitized review of what was going on at the border. i pleaded with him to go talk to the ranchers. thousands of ranchers along the border whose layoffs have been disrupted. i asked the president to see where people were crossing the border illegally. he did not do that. the homeland security secretary and the president are not enforcing current laws. now the president can se the quest
