Work 4 Peace,Hold All Life Sacred,Eliminate Violence! I am on my mobile version of the door-to-door, going town-to-town holding readings/gatherings/discussions of my book "But What Can I Do?" This is my often neglected blog mostly about my travels since 9/11 as I engage in dialogue and actions. It is steaming with my opinions, insights, analyses toward that end of holding all life sacred, dismantling the empire and eliminating violence while creating the society we want ALL to thrive in

Journey For Justice Dec 11th, Day 11: Texas to New Mexico: $100 MILLION dollar border crossing building

Headed to New Mexico this morning following the fuckin border, stopping at two crossings: one at Columbus NM & the other at Antelope Wells.

Columbus, a town (I use the term loosely) has 1,450 people. The government spent 100 MILLION dollars to construct a what, bridge-path-building to monitor the handful of immigrants that might cross here. Most likely most of the folks that cross are the 1,450 residents of Columbus.

The next crossing didn't even hv a town close by but 45 miles away. This facility was built for 5 million dollars & is where Jakelin Amei Caal Maquin died in border patrol custody while her father begged for help, knowing his 8 year old daughter was sick.

These millions are not even for the cost of the walls themselves
