Trump's big buoys arrive in Eagle Pass, a border resident arrested for nonviolent protest against wall construction in Zapata County, and catch our podcast with Yes Men prankster, political activist Jacques Servin and Todd who entirely reframe "border security."
This conversation, hosted by Todd Miller, about a great borderlands adobe brick building project is going great, until Jacques Servin—of the political performance artist trickster and activist troupe called the Yes Men—fails to grasp the meaning of the term "border security."

In this discussion we take a close look at the “global panopticon,” robotic dogs, the border-industrial complex, and what all this has to do with the changing climate.
The UN Climate Change Conference starts next month. What should global leaders make a priority? Join our panel of international experts tomorrow, Thursday, in our discussion thread.
We discuss the history of The Border Chronicle, the environmental impacts of the wall, and how solutions to border woes might be in the flora and fauna before our eyes.
We discuss Border Patrol shadow units, the need to revitalize not militarize, and how borderlands communities could thrive if seen as the “vibrant, multilingual, and multicultural” places they are.
Jones discusses why the Border Patrol can racially profile people, why it can operate in a 100-mile zone from all U.S. borders, and how it “can look a lot like an authoritarian militia force."
