WDRB anchor Valerie Chinn and photojournalist Doug Smith discuss their recent reporting trip to the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona. Chinn and Smith got extraordinary access to U.S. Customs & Border Protection officers to see how they go about their daily jobs. They got a look at at a small section of President Trump's border wall and the fleet of 'predator drones' (costing $11 million each) that the government uses to patrol the boundary. And they talked to a Central American mother who was apprehended with her small children, including a baby she delivered during her journey to the U.S.
