A makeshift migrant camp looks nearly empty in Mexico's Matamoros, at the border with Brownsville, Texas, where Democrat US President Joe Biden is expected to meet border patrol and other law enforcement agents. Also heading to the border is Republican former president Donald Trump, who will be about 300 miles (480 kilometers) to the west in Eagle Pass. The Texas showdown comes at a time when record numbers of migrant crossings into the United States are posing a threat to Biden's chances of preventing a Trump comeback in November's presidential election.
