Folge vom 17.08.2021Biden's Broken Promise?Latino USA visits one family in south Texas who is dreading something that President Joe Biden said they should no longer fear: border wall construction.

Folge vom 13.08.2021No Choice But To FightThis October marks 15 years since the Secure Fence Act of 2006 was passed. This act paved the way for hundreds of miles of border wall to be built along the U.S.-Mexico border. Latino USA looks back at one case from south Texas where a pioneering Latina took on the federal government to stop border wall construction on her university campus. This case is a reminder of the fights that some continue to wage against an opponent almost impossible to defeat.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
