Went out to the least visited stretch of the Big Bend border sector in Hudspeth County where, despite the national park pause, wall construction is plowing full steam ahead. Far down a forgotten dusty washboard road, we found a massive staging area of freshly bladed desert--hundreds of acres--by far the largest I've ever seen for a wall construction project. Apocalyptic scenes happening out here, where seemingly no one is playing much attention.

$7 billion for this... All the while, we've seen more migrant apprehensions along smaller sections of the U.S.-Canada border than we have in the entire Big Bend Sector.

The Irrepressible Walter Shapiro by me. A reporter who was cutting without being snarky and sincere without being corny, my late friend pulled off a balancing act for 50 years that made him one of the great political journalists of our time.

@mattizcoop @JamesFallows I am so saddened to hear of Walter’s passing. He was one of my favorite professors and always brimmed with charisma. Is there any event to celebrate him this coming weekend? I would love to pay my respects. Thank you both for your thoughtful tributes.

I learned so much about journalism (especially the how and why we do it) from Walter Shapiro. Truly one of the best professors I ever had.

[Alice Gallin-Dwyer @agallin]

Walter always injected humor into the serious and found the serious truth in humor. @mattizcoop on @MrWalterShapiro in @monthly https://t.co/rW183n0nfj
