Biden departs El Paso after brief border visit without seeing most impacted areas, critics say

President Biden departed El Paso on Sunday afternoon following a brief visit to the border – his first since taking office and first verified border visit of his long political career.

In the span of about four hours, the president walked a stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border and inspected a busy port of entry where border officers demonstrated how they search vehicles for drugs, money and other contraband. 

Still, some critics chided the president for not visiting areas most impacted by illegal border crossings. During an appearance on "Fox Report with Jon Scott," Brandon Judd, president for the National Border Patrol Council, said Biden failed to visit the most problem-ridden areas.

"You can look across the ports of entry on the entire southwest border, and that’s not where we’re seeing the illegal immigration. We’re seeing the illegal immigration between the ports of entry," he said. "That’s the Border Patrol. That’s the component of CBP that handles all of this. He did not have any scheduled visits with them."
