A Family Ranch, Swallowed Up in the Madness of the Border

This is some really interesting reporting by the New York Times that highlights the complexity of the border situation. A fourth-generation cattle rancher who campaigned for Trump but built water fountains on his land so migrants don't die of dehydration. A cowboy whose family abandoned the area but who holds fast to the land and the idea that caring for the sojourner is one of the three mandates from the Creator. Migrants from every corner of the globe.

Like Jim Chilton, I don't know what the answer is. But with climate change likely to accelerate global migrant flows in years ahead, we'd better come up with one because the current approach seems untenable.
