$178 Billion: Trump Budget Declares War on Migrants

from Soberanía: The Mexican Politics Podcast · host Soberanía Podcast

"$178 billion: the amount allocated to immigration enforcement in Trump's recently passed budget. In this episode of "Soberanía," Kurt and José Luis analyze the implications of such a colossal figure in the context of a disastrous budget that strips away social protections to shower even more benefits on the wealthy while ratcheting up the punitive state. Also: former Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto reemerges on the public scene in a fitting way: enmeshed in another corruption scandal. Will this tip the hand of the federal government to finally prosecute him? Anti-gentrification demonstrations come to Mexico City and, in our "Losers and Haters" segment, some particularly inappropriate comments about said protests."
