Why aren't we talking more about violence over Trump's border wall construction between the Border Patrol, U.S. Park Police and Indigenous protestors? Because too few are willing to do what @AliVelshi did today: go see what's happening with your own eyes. #Velshi @VelshiMSNBC

Here’s our complete report — which I’m grateful @AliVelshi played some of — on border wall construction and the profound impact it is having.

For the latest on fallout from wall construction, start with this reporting from @AlisaReznick at @azpmnews — and for real-time updates follow @LaikenJordahl, @PeccaryNotPig and their colleagues at @CenterForBioDiv.

I wanted to have this conversation with @AliVelshi today in order to — and I’m paraphrasing @chrislhayes here — point out the further you get away from the border the more partisan, less nuanced (and usually, wrong) opinions about what’s actually happening in the borderlands are.
