How has Donald Trump capitalized on the politics of the border during his election and presidency? In this podcast, Melissa Milewski and Sam Solomon, lecturers at the University of Sussex, interview the founders of the Southwest Political Report, Dr. Irene Sanchez and Matt Sedillo, to discuss Trump and the Southwest. They discuss why Trump focused on immigration and the border during the 2016 election and how Trump's use of the Southwest fits into how local and national politicians have used it in the past. Sanchez and Sedillo also discuss the history and context behind Trump's Southwest policies, including the recently ended policy of separating families at the border.
