The Trump Administration's Border Policies And The Potential Effects Of Tariffs
Mar 31, 2025•34 min
Episode description
One of the two major issues President Trump ran his campaign on was a promise to secure the U.S. border from migrants--since the start of his second term, he has made that promise a significant part of his agenda. The Trump administration says it has paid off, significantly improving border issues that it says the Biden administration neglected. Some Americans wonder whether President Trump's tariffs on Canada and Mexico will have an effect on the border. Congressman Tony Gonzales (R-TX) joins the Rundown to discuss border security and immigration issues along the U.S. southern border and Mexico. He explains why developing a partnership with Mexico could greatly benefit the U.S. and help confront major issues. The Congressman also addresses hidden costs that counties along the U.S. southern border face, including handling unidentified migrant bodies who died while crossing the border.
It's been several weeks since an Army helicopter and an American Airlines plane collided in Washington, D.C., and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has announced that significant changes are on the way. Despite numerous close calls and incidents, flying remains the safest mode of transportation in the United States by a wide margin. Former FAA Chief Operations Officer David Grizzle joined the discussion to explain why the industry is stretched thin and the need to implement significant changes.
