Prior to joining the Texas Public Policy Foundation in the fall of 2021 as the Distinguished Senior Fellow for Border Security, Rodney Scott served as the 24th Chief of the United States Border Patrol. In this installment of Next Steps Forward, he joins program host Dr. Chris Meek to discuss his three-decade career in the Border Patrol, under both Republican and Democrat administrations, earning the respect and admiration of agents, colleagues, and partners alike while working to successfully enforce our nation’s laws and secure our borders. Throughout the hour Mr. Scott will speak extensively about the analysis and recommendations he makes on federal, state and local border security efforts through his work with America’s leading state-based think tank.
