The survey included nine members of the House and eight senators from Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California — including four Republican senators.According to the report, some GOP lawmakers raised concerns about whether the wall is too focused on a physical barrier, rather than funding other high-tech solutions that could prove to be more effective.“The solution must be a dynamic, multifaceted one,” Rep. Steve Pearce (R-N.M.) told the publication.Sens.(R-Texas) and(R-Ariz.) have been skeptical about the president's plan, while Sen.(R-Ariz.) said that border security ought to be focused elsewhere, according to the Journal.
