I spent last night and this morning at the border fence and migrant support camp east of Sasabe, Arizona. No one came through last night, maybe because the cartels don't like to work in the rain? This morning once the rain quit for a while, 23 people came through, including lots of families with kids. Border Patrol didn't show up all day to take people to the station and process their asylum claims, so they're spending the night at the support camp.
Without that camp, entirely run by local humanitarian volunteers, those people would be out in the rain without shelter or walking the 25KM up and down insanely steep hills to the Sasabe station on their own.
The effort being put in by volunteers is amazing. People come out pretty much every day to provide food, water, first aid and shelter for migrants seeking asylum.
If you want to help, the main group is https://nomoredeaths.org
Tucson Samaritans and Green Valley Samaritans are regulars there as well.
