Hey, it's Andrew Clayton. Welcome to this week's interview with security, border security

expert, Laura Reese. Last week, President Biden gave a speech urgently requesting $105

billion in security funding, funding money that will come from a magic money tree that

grows next to the magic energy tree on the planet Pandora. Part of this money is going to be

for Ukraine, some of it's going to be for Israel, but less commented upon was $14 billion,

they're asking for now is going to help with actual border security. I thought we would ask that

question of someone who might actually know the answer. Laura Reese is the director of the border

security and immigration center at the Heritage Foundation prior to joining Heritage. Laura served

as the acting deputy chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security and spent time in Congress
