EAGLE PASS, Texas - There are several border items on the docket for this special session, and Tuesday lawmakers traveled over 200 miles from Austin to see the border firsthand.
The lawmakers took a helicopter tour of the border and rode with DPS troopers on boats through the Rio Grande. "It doesn't matter what you do, people are not gonna stop coming," said Amerika Garcia Grewal with the Eagle Pass Border Coalition. "We need another option, a humanitarian option." Rep. Jetton, who filed that border infrastructure bill, toured the border for his second time today. We asked about the White House's new border wall proposal and how it compares to his.
