Border wall and asylum seekers a few days ago at sunrise, east of Sasabe, Arizona. These people were mostly from Latin America. They were some of the 50 or so people who were delivered through the wall last night by the human smugglers they paid.
Border Patrol picked everyone up fairly quickly on this morning, though sometimes people have to wait all day or overnight to be brought into the station for the first step of their asylum claim processing.
Every day, volunteers from No More Deaths and Tucson Samaritans offer food, water and first aid to people along the road. They also maintain an aid camp west of where this photo was taken.
NMD is a good group to support if you want to make a difference. https://nomoredeaths.org
As I said in the previous post, we need a radical rethinking of the border and immigration. We need to begin a discussion about how to have formally open borders as a means to stability and security.
