San Ysidro, located near the US-Mexico border, serves as a crucial point of entry for individuals and goods traveling between the two countries. By visiting this area and engaging with border officials, Johnson and Issa aim to gain firsthand insights into the operations and challenges faced by those responsible for maintaining border security.

As the Biden/Harris administration continues to face scrutiny over its immigration policies, visits like these play a significant role in shaping public discourse and influencing policy decisions. The news conference is likely to attract attention from media outlets and the public, as it offers a platform for lawmakers to communicate their perspectives on a critical national issue.
