MISSION, TX - In Golf View Estates, a 55-and-over retirement community in Mission, Texas there's people from all over the United States and Canada who live down there, most of them for only part of the year.  They are called "Winter Texans."  Others, a minority amount, live there year-round. 

Lakeshore Public Radio's Sharon Jackson traveled to the southern-most part of Texas to get their opinions on the barrier wall that would go between Texas and Mexico.
