Desert America, the big Southwest, has had a lot of headlines lately. Record heat in Death Valley. Nineteen dead in Arizona’s wildfire. Record spending voted for border security. Drug busts. Drought in west Texas. Home prices jumping in Phoenix, Las Vegas.
It’s ground zero for the immigration debate. For a national culture debate. For a “who owns America” debate. For a decade of boom and bust. Rubén Martínez writes about it all from a desert level view. Close to the people, the heat.
This hour, On Point: Rubén Martínez on desert America, and where it’s going.
