The Daily Signal - Arizona GOP Leader Explains Why Area Voted Against Sanctuary Status

 When talking about the immigration issue, more focus is often given to those coming into the country illegally, while citizens who live in border towns and cities are more often left out of the conversation. On today’s podcast, I speak with Chris King, the first vice chairman of the Pima County Republican party, who talks about what it’s like to live in a border area, and why Pima County voted not to become a sanctuary city. 

 

We also cover these stories:

  • In the wake of President Donald Trump’s visit to India this week, Trump announced that the United States would sell the host country $3 billion worth of military equipment.
  • The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases says that the spread of the coronavirus in the U.S. is imminent. 
  • President Trump called for Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg to recuse themselves from cases related to him in remarks on his trip to India.

But years later, the red M&M made a triumphant return, thanks in part to a college kid in Tennessee and an inside joke that took on a life of its own.
