Latino USA: The U.S. and Mexico: A Complicated Relationship

As President Trump remakes the U.S. immigration system, Mexico is frequently at the center of the discussion.  In this Latino USA report, longtime border and immigration journalists Angela Kocherga and Alfredo Corchado join Maria Hinojosa for a conversation  about the relationship between the United States and Mexico. “We’ll get into key moments that, in one way or another, have been laying down the groundwork for the present, including how Mexico’s declaration of war on drug cartels in the mid-aughts was fueled by weapons smuggled south from the United States, how changing migration patterns under the Obama administration ensued what the U.S. saw as a humanitarian crisis, how the Mexican government pulled out a red carpet for candidate Trump 1.0 after he attacked Mexicans, and more.”
