Immigration and the Economy, if Campaign Promises Hold

Plus, looking ahead with a Border Patrol union rep; looking back with political analysis.

As the election recedes in the past and the nation looks forward, many are wondering if President-elect Donald Trump will make good on his campaign promises.

One of those included the possibility of overturning President Obama’s executive order allowing Dreamers to remain in the U.S., which has ignited fear for many Mexicans brought to the U.S. as children.

On Arizona Week, we look at how Trump’s campaign promises could affect immigrants, as well as the repercussions a change to the immigration landscape might bring to international education and business, including NAFTA.

We also talk to Arizona Border Patrol agent Art del Cueto on the endorsement his union gave to Trump, and speak to Trump’s campaign manager about predictions that Arizona could have turned Democrat this election. Plus, post-election analysis from political commentators in Arizona.

On the program:

  • Karina Ruiz, Arizona Dream Act Coalition
  • Elizabeth Chatham, immigration attorney
  • Art del Cueto, National Border Patrol Council
  • Brian Seitchik, Trump’s Arizona campaign manager
  • Barrett Marson, Marson Media
  • Marilyn Rodriguez, Veridus
