What's the best approach to border policy?

On the next Your Call we'll talk about U.S. border policy. President Obama's signing of a bipartisan border security bill continues a trend toward more agents, weapons, and technology policing the U.S.-Mexico border. What are the costs of militarizing the border and who pays them? What are the alternatives? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. How are people at the border affected by today's immigration policy? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Alfredo Gutierrez, former Arizona state senate majority leader; immigration activist; editor of La Frontera Times
