President Biden visited the U.S.- Mexico border on Sunday, his first trip since taking office, with a stop in El Paso, Texas.  According to a White House official, Biden wanted to highlight El Paso as a model for what can be done with the immense task of migration management in the face of intense challenges the city has faced.  In the past month, El Paso has become an epicenter for the ongoing surge of people arriving to the U.S. in the south. And today, Biden,  along with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador, are gathering in Mexico City the North American leaders' summit.  López Obrador said earlier today that he would consider accepting more migrants than previously announced under President Biden’s plan to turn away people from four nations who cross illegally into the United States.  “this is part of what we are going to talk about at the summit,” López Obrador said. “We support this type of measures, to give people options, alternatives,” he said, adding that “the numbers may be increased.”  Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser, cautioned nothing was decided yet.
