@TucsonSentinel Now get someone to acknowledge that Border Patrol sees its sole job as keeping migrants from arriving and won't even start to think about doing what the civil authority tells it.

@graydon @TucsonSentinel Anyone who works foe Border Patrol has simply got to be a complete and utter asshole at heart.

@TucsonSentinel

human rights groups and the UN refer to the EU's and USA's immigrant policies as 'migracide.'

@TucsonSentinel

it's also worth noting that homeless people are treated the same by local governments.

@TucsonSentinel They’ll continue to do it. That’s what they like best about their jobs: Hurting people who are defenseless against their abuses.
