The panel this week is Kristen Elechko, Francia Wisnewski and Nathaniel Waring. Topics: It’s one thing to protect the borders, it’s another to cause children to die. There are well-meaning border agents but one too many who are not trained well, and some are cruel people. Also, how Alexandria Ocasio Cortez needs to woman up and stop insisting that she alone knows what is right. Sound familiar?
