“With over 820 of the southern border, my district is the epicenter of the border crisis,” said Congressman Gonzales. “Through meetings with local law enforcement, Border Patrol agents, and landowners, we were able to yet again see the challenges and frustrations Americans along the border are facing every day. In order to deliver real change for border communities, it is essential for my colleagues in Congress to see this crisis firsthand.”

Congressional members on the visit included Representatives María Elvira Salazar (FL-27), Erin Houchin (IN-09), Aaron Bean (FL-04), Monica De La Cruz (TX-15), and James Moylan (Guam-District At Large).
