Robert Ellis Thompson, Presbyterian minister, sees the hand of God in US history. Covetousness threatens the US, breeds conspicuous consumption, and envy by the poor. It brings to the US the old problems of the Old World.

Friday, 400 people crossed the border in the mountains east of Sasabe, Arizona ( about 2 hours southwest of Tucson) to present themselves to Border Patrol for asylum. Through the night, snow and freezing temperatures set in. The BP just left them there, never showed up.
Volunteer groups yesterday like No More Deaths and Samaritans ended up transporting the migrants to the Sasabe Border Patrol station, but the agents inside refused to let them in. In fact they threatened the volunteers with arrest for helping the refugees. Hundreds of people out in freezing cold weather all night again. Volunteers did what they could to keep them warm through the night. Finally at 9am this morning they started letting them into the station.
This kind of thing has been persisting for the last three months, and Border Patrol has failed to adequately allocate resources to address this ongoing crisis. Call Tucson Border Patrol Sector to demand they allocate resources to this ongoing crisis: 520-748-3000
