Ohio U.S. Rep. Bob Ney is busy this week finding out how federal agents in Arizona are working to better protect our nation’s borders as part of a two-day trip to Yuma, Ariz.

Ney is touring the San Louis Port of Entry.

Tuesday, he observed border patrol and learned what agents are doing to control the problem of illegal immigrants sneaking into the U.S.

In the Ohio Valley, local sheriffs' departments have captured more than 80 illegal immigrants on Interstate 70 in the last year.
