How Do We Get Order at the Border?

The Republican-led House of Representatives voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the crisis on the southern border just weeks after Speaker Mike Johnson rejected a bipartisan Senate border security package. Janet Napolitano, who served as the nation's third Homeland Security Secretary, had joined her Republican predecessor Michael Chertoff to warn the historic charges against Secretary Mayorkas are a misuse of Congressional impeachment authority and a dangerous precedent. On this week's episode, Johanna Maska speaks with Napolitano, the former governor of Arizona, about the impeachment precedent, why we are seeing a significant increase of migrants on the border and if the Biden administration is doing enough. They also discuss the high cost of a college education and political polarization on campuses.
