Episode Eight: Illegal Immigration and You part one

Illegal immigration and border security have become controversial issues recently. In this episode The Hippie Killers discuss the issue and hopefully give listeners some new perspectives. The issue is a big one so it has been broken up into two parts.

In part one Bob and Mark examine why illegal immigration is a problem and look at a proposal for fencing off the border with Mexico.
