SIERRA VISTA — After completing a trip to Mexico that included meeting with Mexican counterparts and touring border areas, a congressional delegation led by Arizona Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Kolbe will talk today about their views before taking off from Fort Huachuca.

Kolbe led a delegation consisting of six Republicans and three Democrats on a weekend tour of the Arizona-Mexico border, according to Kolbe’s press secretary Kristen Hellmer.

The trip came after the group took part in an earlier Mexico-U.S. Interparliamentary Meeting held in Valle de Bravo, Mexico, late last week.

Saturday’s trip to the border area included a helicopter tour, meeting with local healthcare providers, law enforcement officials and county leaders, Hellmer said. The group also visited with a local rancher.

The congressman’s goal “was to educate other members of Congress about the significant impact illegal border crossers have on a border community, draw attention to the complexities of finding a solution, and to encourage support for a realistic solution to our border problems,” Hellmer said.

Thought that this Rump Ranger was an open border RINO? But leaving Congress.

RR-Kolbe is an OBL that his own brother won't vote for. Yet I figure he's looking to go after McVain's Senate seat may be the reason.

...and to encourage support for a realistic solution to our border problems,

The problem with the realistic solutions Kolbe seeks is that it entails amnesty, something that's already been tried and failed. Thankfully this clown is leaving after the next election.

Perhaps he desires the fires of Hell be turned on to maximum when he gets there. Who (amongst the sane and moral) know what goes through a person like that's mind? I am convinced that he's corrupt beyond belief.

Can't our legislators just read some news to see what is going on?

We need new blood in DC!
