“I was disappointed that the president went back to speaking about a wall instead of looking at these strategic investments,” said Torres Small, who represents New Mexico's southern district bordering Mexico.

“Scanning capabilities, cameras drones, those are the areas we are looking to make investments into modernize border security,” Lujan said.
