Ted Cruz’s Border Plan: Will It Strengthen National Security?

On today’s episode of Focal Point, Andy and Vince dive into Sen. Ted Cruz’s reintroduced bill, The Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act, which would make "failure to yield to a Border Patrol agent" a serious felony. The bill would impose strict penalties, including permanent inadmissibility to the U.S. for undocumented immigrants who flee Border Patrol, up to 20 years in prison if an agent is injured, and a potential life sentence if an agent is killed. Andy and Vince break down whether this legislation is enforceable, its potential impact on border security, and whether it can truly help protect agents on the ground.
