Last week, NPR kicked off its special series, borderland: dispatches from the u.s-mexico boundary, where Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep traveled along the entire U.S.-Mexico border to see how the two countries were linked and divided.
The 17-episode series covers issues on the international drug trade, illegal immigrants in the U.S., and how Arizona businesses suffer from the state's immigration law.
Steve Inskeep also made a stop in Marfa, Texas, where he visited Marfa Public Radio. For KRTS News, Tom Michael spoke with Inskeep on the borderland series.
