Second Reading Podcast: On the structural context of the politics of immigration and border security in Texas
April 27, 2022 | By: Texas Politics Project

In a new Second Reading Podcast, Jim Henson and Josh Blank consider the structural context of the politics of border security and immigration in Texas, from the complexity of immigration a policy issue to the cultural politics driving the continued salience of the issue among Republican voters.

The podcast refers to many results related to immigration, border security, and migration. A search result from our polling data archive compiles more than 100 results. A few highlights are included below.

About the Second Reading podcast. The podcast has been produced intermittently by Jim Henson for the Texas Politics Project, with production support from UT's Liberal Arts Development Studio, since 2016. You can find past episodes and subscribe to the Second Reading podcast in Apple PodcastsSpotify,  and Stitcher.
