Congressmen go overseas on this stuff all the time
Which is why we end up with the fricked up geo-economic-political deals that we end up with. They don't know what the frick they're doing.
The OP wasn't point out if they DID actually go, he was asking if they SHOULD.

It would be way more costly to have the entire foreign service wing of the State Department flying home every couple of years for various subcommittee hearings.
Congress oversees the funding for all of this stuff. I do not see how it is outrageous for them to occasionally go over there and take measure of the situation. Their oversight is independent of the Executive branch, on purpose.
