Welcome to Liberty Wire, a platform where journalists, experts, and the public unite to share first-hand accounts of national happenings. In this episode, host John Carlos Frey explores one of the most controversial points of tension in America—the U.S.-Mexico border. Our featured guest, John Kurc, a seasoned documentarian and photographer, shares his eye-opening journey along the border.
Kurc provides a ground-level view of the environmental devastation caused by the construction of border walls, with a particular focus on their impact on wildlife and natural landscapes. Often contrasting the official narratives of invasion, Kurc's firsthand observations challenge the fear-driven rhetoric surrounding immigration and border security.
The conversation delves into the motives behind border militarization, revealing a complex web of politics and economics that fuels the continuous development of controversial border infrastructure. Through stunning visuals and haunting stories, this episode questions not only what we are told, but why we are told it. Join us for this sobering examination into the realities at the heart of the U.S.-Mexico border.
