U.S. Representatives tour Otay Mesa border

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Three U.S. Representatives from the south visited Otay Mesa to see what’s happening with border security, specifically with physical structures.

Kay Granger (TX.), Chuck Fleischmann (TN.), and Steve Palazzo (MS) are on the appropriations committee, which is responsible for passing appropriation bills along with its Senate counterpart.

They wanted to see the border fencing and it’s effect on illegal immigration and drug and human trafficking.

The three are collecting information to help arrive at a compromise bill that will handle our border security.

All three said they see a need for stronger physical barriers.
