Summary

A direct link exists between criminal organizations and illegal immigration, former federal prosecutor Josh Jones says.

Jones, now senior fellow in border security at Texas Public Policy Foundation, joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss his recent report, “Joined at the Hip: Organized Crime and Illegal Immigration." Jones explains how gangs and other criminal groups in El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala lead illegal immigrants to the border and often exploit the migrants for their own profit.

Also on today’s show, we read your letters to the editor and share a "good news story" about a foster child who was adopted by his teacher.
