In the first episode of our podcast series, “On the Fence: Varied Perspectives on the US/Mexico Border Fence” Border Trade Alliance (BTA) Policy and Projects Coordinator, Diana Lauritson, interviews the Honorable Mayor Chad Foster of Eagle Pass, Chair of the Texas Border Coalition (TBC), about the TBC lawsuit against DHS.
