Listen "Walls, Gates, and Local Wisdom: Fixing Border Security the Smart Way"
Episode Synopsis
On this episode of American Potential, host David From welcomes back Jordan Fischetti, Immigration Policy Fellow at Americans for Prosperity, for a deep dive into the border security provisions of the Working Family Tax Cut Act—or what some are calling the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Jordan explains the bill's $46.55 billion investment in border infrastructure, including walls, roads, and cutting-edge technology. But it’s not just about building more wall—it’s about building smarter.
They explore why local knowledge from Border Patrol agents on the ground is key to effective border solutions, how legal immigration pathways can help reduce illegal crossings, and why morale among border agents has been so low—and how to fix it. From drones and AI to the moral crisis of unaccompanied minors, this conversation goes far beyond headlines to tackle both the challenges and solutions in securing America’s borders.
🎧 Tune in for facts, thoughtful discussion, and a roadmap for what real reform could look like.
