While America’s southern border has been a hot-button issue
in Washington, D.C., for years, the people who live along that
border say they’re not sure whether most politicians actually
care about it — or them.
After a reported kidnapping on a New Mexico ranch in
December, many in the region felt it was time for action. They
held a town hall meeting titled “Calling Washington Home to the
Border” and invited every member of Congress from the area. Only
one — Rep. Steve Pearce (R-N.M.) — actually showed up.
Now Pearce is working with the residents of southern New
Mexico and Arizona to make sure their message is heard.
