“Rank favoritism, such as a sole-source award to a contractor who is a major donor to the governor, leads past waste to outright #corruption, for the motivation of the award is not the bid’s economy but the governor’s campaign treasury.” https://www.texasobserver.org/abbott-operation-lone-star-contractors-bonanza/

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.

A nighttime scene of a camp. There is a burning campfire, a small solar powered street light up on a pole and two white canvas semi-conical tents. In the foreground are three large white plastic water barrels sitting in cradles on their side. There are no people in the camp at present. There are plastic milk crates used for seating scattered about, along with pieces of old carpeting and cardboard for people to sit on.
