It would spend $46 billion to nearly double the number of border agents to 40,000, expand the use of drones, and construct around 700 miles of border fencing. Republicans introduced the border amendment in a bid to win their colleagues\u2019 support, prompting criticism from a number of immigrant rights groups who say the added &#8220;security&#8221; requirements are so extreme they undermine the bill overall. We\u2019re joined by two guests: Lorella Praeli, director of advocacy and policy at the United We Dream Coalition; and Fernando Garcia, founding director of the Border Network for Human Rights. Garcia was arrested earlier this week outside the Democrat\u2019s headquarters in Dallas to protest the party\u2019s approval of increased border militarization.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Democracy Now!
