Even though the rain and snow they have been predicting for tonight didn't materialize so far, it's still getting cold and may get down to freezing. If this camp weren't here, these people would be left 20 miles out in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do but keep walking to stay warm.
That's why the Forest Service talking about shutting down this camp and the border patrol closing the road are cruel and stupid ideas.
I'm sure there will be very visible, dramatic and gratuitously cruel steps the administration will take against migrants. But people could freeze to death out here in the winter or die of heat stroke in the summer out of sight and out of mind. There's just so much we never see that happens because of shitty policies.
