Steve Pearce to drum up support for Sunland Park\u2019s longstanding effort to open a new border crossing to Ciudad Ju\u00e1rez, Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026Though the purpose of the trip was to drum up congressional support for the port of entry project, Resendiz said he did not schedule in advance meetings with any other members of the state\u2019s delegation. Of that visit, Resendiz initially told the Journal: \u201cWe met with the staff for Pearce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA day later, Pearce\u2019s spokeswoman said Resendiz had missed not only the scheduled appointment with Pearce, but a subsequent, unscheduled meeting with a staffer that was attended by Resendiz\u2019s assistant, who had been fired the previous summer and had no official standing with the city.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cResendiz said he missed that brief meeting with the Pearce staffer because he had left in a fruitless attempt to set up a meeting with Texas Rep. Sylvestre Reyes, a Democrat from El Paso.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There\u2019s more.
