On the ground at the U.S.-Mexico border

The Biden administration reported a record number of migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in March - the highest in 15 years. 172,000 people have been apprehended at the border, 19,000 of those unaccompanied children and teenagers.

Axios’ Stef Kight and Russell Contreras spent the last week at the border and saw this surge firsthand.

• Plus, the housing boom no one’s happy about.
• And, CEOs put political pressure on lawmakers over voting rights.

Guests: Axios' Stef Kight, Felix Salmon, and Mike Allen.
