This afternoon, Senators McCain and Kyl sent a letter to the White House inviting President Obama to the Arizona-Mexico Border.
The letter reads:
July 8, 2010
The Honorable Barack Obama
President
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear President Obama:
We invite you to visit the Arizona-Mexico border to observe the effects of illegal immigration and meet with federal, state and local officials, as well as local residents. Arizonans who live and work on the border want you to hear their stories about the drug and human smugglers who enter our country illegally and threaten the safety and security of local residents.
When you visit the border, you will see that Arizonans are desperate for their federal government to fulfill its fundamental responsibility to protect its citizens. We believe you will also see that the current resources put forward to secure the border are inadequate.
Sincerely,
John McCain
United States Senator
Jon Kyl
United States Senator

Early this year, Senators McCain and Kyl put forward a 10-Point Plan to secure Arizona's Border. You can view the plan here.
