for senator jose menendez of san antonio. i'm curious about what level of government you are able to be most productive in border issues and immigration, city level, state-level level, or federal? host: or advocacy. who wants to take that? senator, ias a state thought texas was spending too border security that the lieutenant governor and governor has been focused on. budget is about $150 million, more or less. troopers down there, they did a number of things, and all they are doing is issuing more traffic tickets, last time i looked. drones,o have some boats, a couple of helicopters,, and they track what the federal government is doing. so i don't know how many layers we need, but i think it is a federal responsibility. i said that when i was a senator, i say that now to members of congress, that 350 million dollars the state of texas is spending on border security could go to better schools, pay raises for teachers, and the federal government needs to do a better sensibleving a humane, immigration process. host: do you feel

i remember when i was a councilman in san antonio and we had this flash flood that happened in 2002. there were about 150 homes that were affected by it and a lot of folks that were affected by it found out that they had no recourse, they had no flood insurance. so i've seen it from that perspective and we need to make sure that more people are protected by our national flood insurance program. the challenge, as you point out, is that too oftentimes it's getting so expensive that folks can't afford it. so here's what i would do. in my plan we actually help subsidize the cost for folks because i want to make sure that people are protected, that their property is protected, and in those instances where, because of a natural disaster, they have to rebuild, that they're able to do that. when i was hud secretary i traveled to places like baton rouge, louisiana, and i traveled to the rockaways and watched as people who had built their entire livelihood and this was their only asset really, their home, felt helpless, like there was nothing that they could do because they had lost it all. i

for senator jose menendez of san antonio. i'm curious about what level of government you are able to be most productive in border issues and immigration, city level, state-level level, or federal? host: or advocacy. who wants to take that? senator, ias a state thought texas was spending too border security that the lieutenant governor and governor has been focused on. budget is about $150 million, more or less. troopers down there, they did a number of things, and all they are doing is issuing more traffic tickets, last time i looked. drones,o have some boats, a couple of helicopters,, and they track what the federal government is doing. so i don't know how many layers we need, but i think it is a federal responsibility. i said that when i was a senator, i say that now to members of congress, that 350 million dollars the state of texas is spending on border security could go to better schools, pay raises for teachers, and the federal government needs to do a better sensibleving a humane, immigration process. host: do you feel
