Extended Episode: At the Border with the Problem Solvers Caucus

Published: Aug. 20, 2019, 1:37 a.m.

This is an extended episode in which, Rep. Ben McAdams visits the U.S. southern border with colleagues from the Problem Solver\u2019s Caucus. He interviews Rep. Anthony Gonzalez, a Republican from Ohio, Rep. Tom Reed, R-New York, and Rep. Abigail Spanberger, R-Virginia,\xa0about what they saw during their visit and how they might find solutions to the growing crisis. The problem, McAdams says, is much more complicated and nuanced that the public debate, which makes finding solutions more difficult.\xa0For Gonzalez, some moments took him back to his childhood. One weeping woman, in particular, made him think of the many relatives who spent time at his home as they immigrated from Cuba to the U.S.\u201cThat was incredibly powerful for me,\u201d Gonzalez said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t help but see members of my own family when I looked in her eyes and saw the tears running down her face.\u201dThis is a longer version of Episode 24, in which featured only Gonzalez.
