PLATTSBURGH â U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-Schuylerville, and other members of Congress are urging President Joe Biden to immediately prioritize collaborating with Canada on safely reopening the northern border.
In a letter co-led by Stefanik and fellow House Northern Border Caucus Co-chair Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Niagara Falls/Buffalo, the members put forward actions they hope the administration will consider, including the creation of a bilateral plan for restoring travel and development of a policy that would allow property owners to cross.
âI have worked tirelessly with our counterparts in Canada on this issue, as it continues to impact North Country businesses, families and communities,â Stefanik said in a statement Friday.
