Is Texas the model for finally fixing America’s broken border? For years, people have argued about the border like it’s some abstract debate club topic. But when you actually talk to the folks who live near it, work near it, or protect it every day, the picture looks very different. This episode pulls the curtain back on what’s really happening in Texas… and why so many people are asking if the Lone Star State just cracked the code. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS Because here’s the truth: illegal immigration isn’t just a political talking point. It’s a daily reality that impacts safety, budgets, culture, and even the basic fairness of how we treat citizens vs. non-citizens. And for the first time in a long time, Texas has both the authority and the backbone to actually do something about it. We dig into what changed, why it matters, and what the rest of the country can learn from it. You’ll hear first-hand insight from longtime law enforcement officer and congressional candidate Brian Stahl, who spent 20 years watching the border crisis evolve from a slow drip to a fire hose. He breaks down what Texans saw during the Biden years, why crime spiked, how cartels exploited the chaos, and why “boots on the ground” still beat any federal press release. We also talk incentives, culture, the flood of bogus asylum claims, and why honest legal immigrants are being shoved to the back of the line while the system gets jammed with people gaming it. If you’ve ever wondered whether the border could be fixed with competent leadership and common-sense enforcement… this conversation is going to change how you see the whole thing. If you’re tired of politicians talking in circles, tired of the media running interference, and tired of being told that wanting a secure border makes you “extreme,” pull up a chair. This is the real-world breakdown you’re not getting anywhere else. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being! 📧Submit Listener Questions to brian@briannicholsshow.com to hear your questions and perspectives answered and shared each and every week!  🎙️ WATCH The Brian Nichols Show, available on YouTube & Rumble.
