Addressing the Border Security Problem, with Selene Rodriguez - Pt. 1

State House with Frank Santos

On this week’s episode of State House, Frank sits down with Selene Rodriguez, campaign director for the Secure and Sovereign Texas campaign at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Formerly, Selene served as a Marine intelligence specialist. Together Selene and Frank launch into a discussion on border security and the impact of illegal immigration on border communities. Selene provides updated statistics and real-life examples on the current border situation, and the two discuss the possible political motivations behind today’s immigration policy, the role of NGOs in facilitating illegal immigration, and the public safety concerns associated with uncontrolled borders.
