I am back out at the migrant aid camp at the end of the border wall, 20 miles east of Sasabe, Arizona.
I got here a little bit ago but there is no one here. Kindled up the fire to heat a burrito I brought.
Border Patrol just drove out here to do their 8 PM pick up, but no asylum-seekers in camp. They'll come back at about 2 AM. They said it's been busier than normal lately, so I'll probably stay up a while and see if anyone shows up.
There has been a lot of talk of the Forest Service shutting down this camp and the border patrol closing the road to public access, so I want to take advantage of the next couple weeks and get as many photos and interviews with asylum-seekers as I can.
There is a solar powered satellite Internet set up here for everyone to use, which is why I can post from way out here.
