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 Juarez, 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.”

From Texas, Biden departed for Mexico City for meetings with North American leaders on immigration and other issues.

How Much Do You Care?

Look, I know we cannot measure how much we care about special people and various red hot issues. We may well care passionately about them, enough to protest in public, or lose sleep, or devote a lot of time to them. But I need to develop this in the context of Christian values because I am challenged by how we rate the importance of the issues that affect us. Am I asking you to review how you assign your care to various issues? Hardly, but at least, I reckon it’s worth thinking about and having an occasional review of where we ought to place our biggest concerns.
