New DHS Student Visa Limits And What They Mean For Texas

A policy can be a step in the right direction and still not be the finish line, and that’s the thread we pull all morning. We start local with a tip you can use today: many public libraries now run a “library of things,” letting you reserve tools and equipment at no added cost with your library card. Then the conversation jumps to a national shift with big Texas implications as DHS moves to end the “forever student” loophole by putting clearer time limits on international student visas and tightening how extensions work.From there, we talk incentives and accountability. A trucker pleads guilty after a checkpoint stop reveals he’s transporting illegal aliens despite a cargo manifest claiming “carrots,” and we break down what responsibility looks like when someone claims they “didn’t know” what was in the trailer. We also get into the Texas heat and Tropical Storm Bertha forecast, plus listener texts that sharpen the debate around college admissions and public safety.The biggest trust question lands with Flock Safety license plate reader cameras after allegations of misuse in Pasadena. We lay out why the tech can help solve crimes and why it can also become a tool for surveillance and abuse, and we walk through practical safeguards that could protect due process and privacy. We wrap with election integrity and the Arizona proof of citizenship model as a potential blueprint for Texas, then close on a Houston-area arson felony murder case where a judge denies bond due to community safety concerns.************************************************Listen every day to our strong conservative programs on Patriot Talk 920 AM.  Tune-in on your radio in Houston to KYST 920 AM or download our app by visiting 920app.com or search for "Patriot Talk 920" from your app store!
