By the time you listen to this show, the House of Representatives will have voted to impeach the President of the United States.

Newspapers will be calling the vote historic. But the truth is, what's happening in D.C. for now,

it's still just one group of legislators filing a complaint

with the senators down the hall. One more step in a constitutional dance. This dance will have

consequences. Every process in Washington has consequences. But to see those consequences,

you've got to go somewhere else, where you can

watch how the decisions made on Capitol Hill actually unfold. That's what Adolfo Flores did a few months

back. Adolfo wanted to see how new federal policies on immigration were playing out along the border.

So I moved from Los Angeles, right to the tip of Texas.

You know, I was hired by BuzzFeed to cover Latino issues.

And when I started the job, I told myself I wouldn't focus on immigration because it's not the only Latino issue in the U.S.

But Trump happened.

And so I just sort of started doing more immigration coverage and eventually became my

only beat.

Adolfo came here because he wanted to understand the impact of a rule that was announced

one year ago.

Homeland Securities remain in Mexico policy.

The one thing with a lot of these policies, including the Remainting Mexico policy, is it changes every day.

You know, it's much easier if I can just drive over to Mexico, you know, which sometimes

it's 20 minutes away, sometimes it's an hour.

Around here, getting to Mexico means crossing a bridge into Matamoros.

I asked Adolfo to tell me what that trip looks like these days.
