The Sausage MakersThe Sausage Makers is a podcast about government, Author: Zach Gottehrer Cohen
The Sausage Makers is a podcast about government, policy, and the folks who run the country. Are they perfect? No. Is democracy irreparably broken? No. The Sausage Makers aims to peel back the curtain and really look at how the sausage gets made. Look through the legalese. Past the talking points. Beyond the Bulls**t. We hope to restore faith in our government by telling stories about how it works, why it fails, and what can be done to fix it. Because Democracy is too beautiful a thing to give up on.

Ep. 4: Beyond a border wall
Monday, 28 January, 2019
The debate over border security has centered on whether a physical wall is the best way to stop illegal immigration and contraband smuggling into the U.S. In this episode, we tackle that question. We look at the push-pull factors behind illegal immigration, the economics and tactics of the cartels, and what policies the American Government can pursue in order to address them.
