My camera shoots fascists<p>Working on a blog post and photos from last weekend at the border near Sasabe, Arizona. Headed back there tomorrow. Couldn't resist sharing this photo.

It's hard to even know what you're looking at here, but it's a small group of migrants walking up one of the roller-coaster steep hills along the wall road toward the humanitarian aid camp. </p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Migrant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Migrant</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AsylumSeeker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AsylumSeeker</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MigrantAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MigrantAid</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Asylum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Asylum</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Immigration</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Border" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Border</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SeekingAsylumIsNotACrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SeekingAsylumIsNotACrime</span></a></p>
