This week we speak with award-winning journalist, Kent Paterson who shares his reporting on illegal construction of a border wall in Sunland Park New Mexico.

Kent was the Editor of New Mexico State University's “Frontera NorteSur” news service from 2005 to 2016, which provided a perspective that was not commonly found in most US publications. He is also the author of the award-winning book, The Hot Empire of Chile: a history of the New Mexico chile pepper industry.
