I-35 is the artery that bisects Minnesota, running north and south. It also bisects the nation, running from Laredo, Texas on the Mexican border to Duluth.

The New York Times explored the I-35 corridor in "The Way North." Reporter Damien Cave and photographer Todd Heisler journeyed through the heart of the country reporting on how immigration has changed the landscape.

Cave and Heisler just filed their last reports from the Twin Cities and Duluth. Damien Cave joined MPR News' Tom Crann to talk about what he learned.
