Texas Standard for December 16, 2015

Undocumented kids, many from Central America who crossed over from Mexico, have found temporary shelter at a church in Ellis County – but Gov. Abbott’s deploying extra troops to scan the border for those trying to cross it. And: A dam in Lewisville is in bad shape and engineers have sounded the alarm about what could happen if it failed. Also: Power plant emissions could capture carbon to put the fizz in your drink. Plus: Toys that help infants develop, and an apple pie recipe for any holiday. All this and more on the Standard.
