This Week on The Green Line Radio Show: Host Art Del Cueto shares highlights from his recent trip to Atlanta for a Shriner event, where he enjoyed a parade with over 190 entries, met international ambassadors and took in a Beatles tribute concert — all while encountering protesters along the way.

Shifting focus to border news, Art addresses a deadly attack on a Border Patrol station in Texas and condemns the media’s failure to report motives behind violence against law enforcement. He calls for accountability for those inciting violence, and questions why violent protesters targeting agents aren’t being arrested or charged.

Art also shares his own experience being targeted with racial slurs online for expressing pro-American views — pointing out the irony as disturbing stories emerge, including children being found working illegally in fields during immigration enforcement.

On the agricultural front, Art discusses the economic fallout from the border closure caused by an outbreak of screw worm fly, impacting livestock trade between Mexico and the U.S. He reflects on how previous agreements with Sonora allowed disease checks on Mexican cattle and expresses concern over the current inaction.

Turning to recent legislation, Art breaks down the new border security bill, which includes funding for vehicles, tech, training, and bonuses for agents. He clarifies that Border Patrol agents do not receive tax-free overtime and praises the National Border Patrol Council for continuing to fight for better agent benefits.

Finally, Art emphasizes that while the border is now more secure with active patrols and lower numbers, the real challenge is undoing the backlog created by the surge during the Biden administration — a task that will take time through ongoing enforcement and deportations.
