Previo a la cumbre de líderes de América del Norte, el presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, visitó la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México este domingo por primera vez como presidente, pero no pareció ver ni reunirse con migrantes, incluso durante un viaje a un centro de descanso para migrantes.

Biden pasó varias horas en El Paso en su primera visita a la frontera sur como presidente, luego de las crecientes protestas y críticas de que aún no había visto de primera mano la crisis creada por el número récord de migrantes que van hacia la frontera. Pero esa breve visita pareció enfocarse en gran medida en cuestiones de cumplimiento y en hablar con el personal de control fronterizo. Los reporteros en el terreno no vieron a ningún migrante en el centro de descanso durante la visita del presidente allí, ni a lo largo de las rutas de la caravana durante toda la tarde.
