Summary

In this explosive episode of Mike Drop, Mike Ritland sits down with national security expert Mark Sewell to tackle what they argue is America's most urgent and misunderstood threat: the southern border. The $46.5 Billion Wall fuels the conversation and rips the curtain off not just cartel violence or illegal crossings—but the hidden danger of student visa overstays. Sewell exposes how even a handful of bad actors slipping through the cracks can pose massive risks, while countless legitimate students are caught in the political crossfire. As Trump calls for the sweeping cancellation of student visas, Mike and Mark dig into the billion-dollar question: is a wall and a blanket ban really the solution? Or is America missing the forest for the trees? This one pulls no punches—and it might just change how you see national security, education, and the real cost of freedom.
