Governor Bobby Jindal will be joining Louisiana officials visiting the Mexican border this week.
The speaker of the Louisiana House is also going, along with top state police officials. They will receive a security briefing and a tour by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The trip starting today will be the second that Colonel Mike Edmonson has made to the McAllen area to discuss border security issues affecting Louisiana residents.
The state police superintendent says illegal drugs, illegal weapons and immigrants without official permission all affect Louisiana daily.
