Routinely search the desert offering
water, food and first aid to migrants found suffering from heat
stroke, exhaustion, dehydration, and minor injuries.
·
Call 911 or the U.S. Border Patrol when
migrants are in need of medical treatment.
·
Discourage migrants from crossing the
desert by explaining the risks and distances involved. When migrants want
to return home, we contact the Border Patrol.

Conduct “basura”
(trash) runs to gather migrant possessions left behind in the desert.
We recycle discarded clothing, backpacks, and other materials such as
plastics.
·
Maintain
relationships with Border Patrol and other public and
elected officials, encouraging them to address humanitarian as
well as security needs.
·
Work with other
humanitarian groups to educate ourselves and others about migrant issues.
·
Undertake special
projects such as helping families living in the Nogales Sonora dump, and
assisting Mexican non-governmental organizations to provide humanitarian
aid to returnees in Sonora.

Legal to assist migrants?
