After the discussion, the president was off to San Luis to “tour the wall and thank border patrol and law enforcement for their tireless efforts” before heading to Phoenix, the White House said.
The president noted during discussions over border security, however, that Joe Biden is “totally controlled by the radical left as you understand.”
“He’s not controlling it, they’re controlling him. They want open borders, they want criminal sanctuaries, they want everything that doesn’t work. I don’t even think it works politically, frankly, at this point,” President Trump explained.

President Trump on Tuesday signed a plaque on the wall commemorating the 200th mile built.
