    In San Diego, we know real border security does not mean spending billions on a wall. There are bipartisan border security measures we can all support. Let's get the government open, so we can start working on them.

    This is 💯% correct. The Dem majority was built by the 31 who turned red seats blue and will work together for progress. Also, the differences among Ds pale in comparison to the differences between Ds and Rs, who have abandoned the center.

    Maybe the media's not doing a great job if most of the new Democrats are center-left but all the attention is on 3-4 really outspoken members on the leftmost flank of the party?

    Thank you for visiting our bi-national region . In San Diego, we know the border is an opportunity, not a threat. We're grateful for your leadership to ensure California stays true to our American values. We'll continue to push for the same in Congress.

    I’m at our border today where there is no “national emergency.” San Ysidro is the busiest border crossing in the Western Hemisphere. It’s a region of economic vibrancy — of trade and commerce. Our state thrives because of the families who live on both sides of this border.
