A 5% tariff on all Mexican imports. What could President Donald Trump’s latest effort to curb immigration do to the Texas economy? We’ll have the latest.

Also: Texas school children got a boost from the latest legislative session. But did that focus take away from efforts to help kids in foster care? We’ll explore. Plus: A Texas farmer is trying something new that’s actually very old. We’ll look at why. And Friday means the Typewriter Rodeo and wrap of the week in Texas politics.
