While I appreciate the diplomatic efforts, I wonder how effective these meetings really are. We keep hearing about border issues every month. Maybe they should focus more on ground-level implementation?

As someone living near the border area, I've seen improvements in security over the years. But more needs to be done about illegal crossings - hope this meeting addresses that specifically.
