Southern Barrier, Part 1

The United States' border with Mexico is nearly 2,000 miles long. Over that vast distance the protective barriers between the two countries vary greatly. It may be interesting to note that nowhere along the entire border has Mexico installed any barrier of its own. All the barriers between the countries have been paid for by the U.S. Taxpayer.

One of the most dangerous border areas in the world is between San Diego, California, USA, and Tijuana, Mexico. Here we see a Union Pacific train passing through the massive barrier at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.

The barrier systems along the border vary greatly. In the urban areas these barriers may be doubled to include a "Secondary" barrier with a "No Man's Land" between. In some of the more violent areas populated by violent gangs or drug cartels, the barrier has been improved with a third obstacle -- usually another fence. Here is a PDF document on the border barriers.

The "Primary" or most southern barriers are comprised of the following types:

Nothing.

Three wire cattle fence.

Vertical railroad rail.

Horizontal railroad rail with 6" drill stem uprights.

Concrete filled thin wall six inch steel tube of staggered height.

Corrugated steel plate.

Perforated corrugated steel plate (landing mat).

Square tubing.

Crushed cars.

The "Secondary" barriers are comprised of the following types:

Climb proof expanded metal fence.

Climb proof chain link fence.

Concrete column or "Bollard" barrier.



Southern Barrier, Part 2

The third barrier system has todate been only chain link fencing.

In the urban areas -- comprising about 55 miles of the entire 2,000 mile border -- the fencing and / or "No Man's Land" is brightly illuminated from dusk to dawn. This illumination can be from floodlamps mounted along the centerline of the "No Man's Land" or the light can be provided by portable gasoline power motor generator units.

Because "undocumented migrants" often attack the Border Patrol Agents when the Agents traverse certain key access roads, additional illumination is provided at those points of vulnerability. This illumination is usuallyproved by portable gasoline powered mortor generator units.

The United States' barrier system starts beyond the surfline in the Pacific Ocean.

This barrier consists of standard railroad rail that has been specially coated to withstand the vagaries of salt, surf and sea.

 

 

 

 

Moving eastwards dangerous access roads allow the Border Patrol to move agents along the border. the tight switchbacks are ware "undocumented migrants" smash large boulders into vehicle windshields and the most dangerous have dedicated lights.

Here you can see the standard corrugated steel plate barrier as it now pitches down into a canyon and then up the other side.

The barrier surrenders between one and three feet of US territory to Mexico. This is done to allow workers to maintain the barrier without entering the Repubic of Mexico.

There is an access door just to the right of the 1237 marking in the photo to the left.



Southern Barrier, Part 3

There are some parts of The Wall which are in three layers. It was discovered that illegal aliens and drug smugglers would crash even ten cars through the fence at one time and force a path. To stop this the US Border Patrol installed a triple barrier. First there is the steel barrier above, then a climb proof fence and then a last defense of 20 ft high concrete posts pounded deep into the ground.

The 45 degree flat anti-climb plate at the top of the "Bollard" barrier is the last protection provided along this part of the border.

Tijuana is just to the south -- to the right -- of this barrier.

 

 

The violence of Tijuana, Mexico often sends AK-47 rifle fire over the border and into U.S. Border Patrol vehicles. To limit the mayhem, many Border Patrol vehicles used in dangerous areas -- even a quarter mile north of the border -- are fully armor plated.

Southern Barrier, Part 4

Because the Sonoran desert is so inhospitable, most illegals take public transport from the interior of Mexico, along major highways, to Mexican border cities. The illegal alien traffic is thus concentrated near major Mexican transit centers. The traffic then moves to the border and then waits for the right moment to cross.

Most of the border has been "franchised" so that the border can be thought of as hundreds or thousands of strips each a business for a different smuggling enterprise.

While farmworkers might use one such enterprise, "1326's" -- convicted felons who have been deported and are now returning to the United States -- depend upon a more violent subculture.

The Mexican border towns each seem to have their own personality and cater to select groups. Tijuana is one of the most violent cities on earth and it offers its services to some of the most despicable border crossers of all.

[pic]

The map above shows transit lanes for violent felons returning to the United States. The Pacific Ocean is at the left and you are looking north. the map represents about five miles of border with Mexico.

The "river" seen on that map is the Tijuana River and the area near the Pacific Ocean is a California State Park. All is not as it may seem and that California State park is coated in 25 million gallons of raw Mexican sewage a day, is covered in enough RICIN to kill every mammal on earth twice over, Industrial wastes flow northward from Mexico through the canyons and are so reactive that they even combust spontaneously, and this very real California State Park is also an uncleared bombing range.



Southern Barrier, Part 5

As we move eastwards along the U.S. / Mexico border we have the Primary barrier topped with an additional climb proof fence. The odd building just beyond the barrier -- to the south -- is a former Soviet KGB lookout tower used to observe U.S. Navy ships 10 miles to the north in San Diego bay and also used to monitor the borderline itself for at least five miles east and west. The KGB building has a far better view of the border than does the Border Patrol. What today's Russian spy agency -- the FSB -- is doing with the equipment behind those "airport control tower" windows is anybody's guess.

Odd things still go on here. If you note the position of the innocent "satellite TV antenna" in the image above and compare it to the position of that same antenna in the image below you can see that it can track things, somewhere.



Southern Barrier, Part 6

Thanks to the Mexican industrial wastes and fumes dissolving the border steel and constant attacks by smugglers, the primary barrier requires constant repair.

While this part of the border might be -- for California -- a State Park, for the Border Patrol agents it is a threat to their very life.

Some time ago the Border Patrol union filed a class action suit in the Federal Court of Claims for money damages to make the hundreds of agents who have to work in this, place, whole.

A settlement was reached and $15,000,000.00 is being distributed among the agents who suffered these lands and air. But while the agents have been made whole, nobody told the California State Parks people and so innocent children march through the dust and peculiar fluids, completely ignorant of the future they may have with two heads.

Verdant purple-green and sometimes aglow with gentle flames from odd reactions deep within.



Southern Barrier, Part 7

The San Ysidro Port of Entry is one of the busiest border crossings in the world.

[pic]

It can take five hours to cross the border from Mexico to the United States.

Waiting in line to cross the border north or south can give you far more of Mexico than you might have planned.

The city of Tijuana fills the Tijuana river valley from edge to edge. Only a little more than half of the population is connected to the sewer system or to potable water. While Americans may complain when their water pressure drops below 60 psi, in Tijuana much of the system operates at 15 psi or lower. Since many people cannot afford to pay for fresh water they dig tunnels under the street and make their own connections to the water mains. Possibly 30% of Tijuana's potable water is "lost" through illegal taps on these water mains or through poorly made taps which leak the fresh water into the ground.

Because so much of the city is not connected to a sewage system, sewage leaks from out houses and out through the canyon walls and then spills down the canyon sides. Other residents empty their out houses by dumping the "solid matter" down the canyon sides. Just as with massive American dairy farms, the fecal material and urine eventually dry and then are picked up by the wind and the city's air is tainted by flurries of dried fecal dust and dried urine dust. Living down wind of a large industrial scale American dairy farm or cattle feed lot can be bad. Living down wind of Tijuana can be worse because the dust is human and it carries deseases that other humans can contract.



Southern Barrier, Part 8

The barrier continues eastward and its construction technology matches the perceived threat. The image below is looking west toward Russian Hill in the far distance. Please note the primary fence of steel plate to the south (left in the image) and the massive secondary fence of climb-proof mesh with the 45 degree overhang.

Between the two barriers is a "No Mans's Land" with all weather road. Note also the permanent high intensity flood light system.

[pic]



Southern Barrier, Part 9

As the double barrier moves eastward we reach Colonia Libertad -- neighborhood of Tijuana, Mexico. The Primary barrier can be seen with the Colonia just beyond.

This part of the border with Tijuana is quite active and even with double barriers as seen on a prior page, smugglers get through.

Some of the smugglers use the huge storm drain complex beneath the border "no Mans's Land" and others use ladders to climb the Primary barrier and then various interesting devices to pass the tall Secondary barrier with the "climb proof" top.

Here is a reference map showing the paths used by smugglers to cross the huge barrier system display on the previous page. The first red line on the image at the left edge is Interstate 5 entering Mexico at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. The next four lines are smuggler's paths from Colonia Libertad northwards.

The next two smuggling paths lead directly from an airport on the Mexican side of the border to an airport on the U.S. side of the border. The American airport has an 8,000 foot long runway and is not a quarter mile north of the barrier. The Mexican airport -- General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport -- is not 500 feet south of the barrier.

At a point about six smuggling paths from the right corner of the image the largest drug tunnel in U.S. history was discovered. The tunnel was more than 2,500 feet long. Tunnels are covered in detail in another section.

Between the two airports is a major roadway and smugglers will often breach the Primary and Secondary barriers and then cross this busy road.

Here, we can see the result of hundreds of illegals -- some drug smugglers and some not -- having breached the barrier in a single swarm.

Remember, not 500 feet from this massive breach of our national integrity is a busy American airport.



Southern Barrier, Part 10

The border barrier quickly returns to a single primary barrier of steel plates. At a point just three miles east of Tijuana the barrier becomes nothing but three strands of cattle fencing. From this point and for 25 miles, there is nothing stopping the smugglers.

As required by the treaty of Guadelupe Hidalgo, the border is marked with permanent survey markers. Each marker is numbered. Originally the markers were numbered from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean and ending at the waters edge in Texas. Texas congressman took umbrage and had all the markers renumbered (at taxpayer expense). Now, marker number one is in Texas and the last marker is 100 feet from the Pacific Ocean in California.

The image at the left allows you to sight a line along the marker and follow the border to the distant mountain. Beyond that mountain the border again takes on a more robust construction of steel plates.



Southern Barrier, Part 11

The steel plate barrier begins again at the small Mexican town of Tecate and continues eastward for more than twenty miles.

[pic]

 



Southern Barrier, Part 12

The border barrier is quickly reduced to a simple vehicle barrier as it enters the desert.

The image here is looking west.

The barrier consists of nothing but steel rail crossbars mounted to vertical drill stem.

 

 

 

 

As the border reaches the Great American Desert some areas are breached so easily that added "armor" is needed.



Southern Barrier, Part 13

As the border reaches the urban area of Calexico, California, it again is built of steel. In this case the barrier is built of square steel tubing. It is built of tubing with gaps between the tubes to ease observation of what is happening on the Mexican side.

Thanks to the spaces between the tubes you can see the people massing to launch over the barrier even 20 at a time.

While this barrier does seem quite secure, it is not.

On the other side of this barrier is the automobile traffic waiting in line to enter the United States. The U.S. Port of Entry is only 1,000 feet away. The vehicles are bumper to bumper and moving only stop and go. From this point to the Port of Entry can take as long as twenty minutes to finally cross into the USA.

 

 

While it might seem impossible that drug smugglers would breach this barrier in broad daylight, they do.

Not only that, they cut this barrier with a hand saw and it can take several hours to cut through.

Yes, they essentially stand in traffic on the Mexican side and slowly saw through. Once a "package sized" hole is made the drugs are passed to a courier who has until now been waiting on the American side and some distance away.

The U.S. Border Patrol is so underfunded and agents spread so thin that these drug smugglers can get away with this.

Isn't it interesting that drug gangs can be sending drugs to America's children and the Mexican drivers say nothing to authorities as they cross into the United States.

 



Southern Barrier, Part 14

As we continue eastward, the border barrier again becomes nothing. This part of the border barrier is at the California / Arizona state line.

The barrier consists of an aging white vehicle stop bar. This barrier is about 100 feet north of the border. There is nothing -- not even a fence -- behind the camera.

Because of the Border Patrol's underfunding, on weekends, Mexican gangs race north and into throngs of American campers. At other times they blend with the off road vehicle enthusiasts to hand off sacks of drugs.

The barrier continues in this condition for even a hundred miles. Well east of the Arizona state line there is now a modicum of funding to stop some of the drug convoys. Drug convoys race north from the town of San Luis, Sonora, Mexico and can make it to an Arizona highway in minutes. These convoys can be made of even twenty off road vehicles. Most get through.

Just north of this part of the border is a vast military complex with bombing ranges. Other Mexican gangs cross onto those ranges and steel the explosives from unexploded ordnance, and then take those explosives back to Mexico.

This machine is being used to vibrate steel pipes into the ground about every four feet along the border. The United States has surrendered several feet of US territory by constructing the barrier well north of the actual border. Afterall, we wouldn't want our workers to be arrested by Mexico as "illegal aliens."

This machine accepts a tube from a waiting forklift and then rotates and places the tube on the ground. The machine has placed an auger into the tube and spins the auger as it also vibrates the tube downwards into the ground. Once placed at the desired depth the machine rises, rotates the head toward the forklift and accepts another tube.



Southern Barrier, Part 15

After that huge machine plants the galvanized steel tube then the tube is filled with concrete. Any place work is done along the border there must be armed guards. You can see one of the guard vehicles in the distance.

[pic]

Along other parts of this construction project south of Yuma,Arizona, a secondary barrier is being installed. Here, the border has a double barrier containing a "No Man's Land" with high intensity flood lamps.

These pages have shown all of the barrier system types used along our 2,000 mile border with Mexico.

For example, in the urban area of Nogales, which type of barrier would be installed?

There, below, is the Nogales barrier -- as you could have predicted from what you learned on this site -- a steel plate primary barrier system.The barrier would be a Primary and a Secondary barrier but the lack of funding only gives us this level of protection. To bring it closer to the security of a full Primary and Secondary barrier, some additional material has been added to its top.



USBP Today, Part 1

Today, the United States Border Patrol has 11,000 agents on the line to protect our borders. More than 9,500 of these agents are stationed along our 2,000-mile southern border. According to U.S. government sources, nearly 99% of all people arrested entering our country illegally are citizens of Mexico.

According to several U.S. Congressmen, more than 4,000 people die each year at the hands of illegal aliens living within the United States. They also report that if the number of people killed by illegal aliens operating motor vehicles on our roadways is added, the number exceeds 8,000 dead per year.

The situation is grave. "The bureaucrats don't understand what a dangerous game they are playing with American lives if they don't do something to fix the situation at the border," said Michael Cutler, a former special agent with Immigration and Naturalization Services, who testified before the 9-11 Commission.

The border is out of control. Small border town TV stations have the tragic video on their evening news almost every night.

The state of California maintains a public database of its most violent and dangerous fugitives. The reality is far from what is portrayed in the media. Simply search the database -- the options are given. About 92% of California's most dangerous violent felons (and wanted for murder) are Hispanic and most have fled to Mexico.

We once had a Mr. Charles Manson walking the streets of America. He was convicted of the murder of seven and the creation of a small "gang." If he were loose today and living in Mexico he could just cross the Mexican border and into the United States. For a thousand miles of our southern border there's essentially no one there to stop him.

 

 

Once inside the United States he would become part of a group the American Media call "Undocumented Migrants".



USBP History, Part 1

In the beginning, “Mounted Inspectors” were assigned by the Commissioner-General of Immigration to patrol our southern border. It was 1904 and Teddy Roosevelt was president of the United States. The Panama Canal had yet to be built. Only seventy five “Mounted Inspectors” were hired to guard all of America's borders.  And these men had to provide their own horses.  They were given little supervision or orders — except an order that there would be no "swashbuckling".

Two events would forever change the mission and number of men guarding our borders: Pancho Villa and to a much lesser degree, Prohibition.

Pancho Villa

A civil war raged in Mexico from 1910 to 1920.  More than a million Mexicans (about ten percent of the population) were killed during that civil war.  Most of these deaths were at the hands of other peasants with farm implements, not guns.

What few know is that Wells Fargo Express played a major role in funding the marauding bandits who gave their bands such names as "Army Division of the North". Pancho Villa had a habit of robbing trains. One of the trains he robbed had over a ton of silver bars that belonged to a Wells Fargo subsidiary. The problem for Pancho Villa was that stealing a ton of silver bars was one thing, spending them was quite another. The Wells Fargo's subsidiary, Compañia Mexicana de Express, S.A., worked a deal and traded $50,000 worth of Mexican pesos for the silver bars. Wells Fargo refused to publicly acknowledge this payment because it did not want to be accused of "aiding and abetting" which was -- even then -- a serious federal crime. The reference pages are here:

|Page 1 |Page 2 |Page 3 |Page 4 |Page 5 |Page 6 |Page 7 |

In early 1915, and after more than five years of brutal fighting, Francisco "Pancho" Villa paused his banditry and began rebuilding his forces.  With 26 wives, Villa had a spirit seldom seen today.  Villa wrote a letter to Emilio Zapata — another bandit pillaging Mexico at that time — and said:



East Arizona, Part 1

Arizona's border with Mexico is approximately 370 miles long and includes some of the most rugged and romantic landscapes in all of America's southwest.

[pic]

The 370 miles of Arizona's border with Mexico is also some of the most dangerous and violent land on earth. Each year, over a million illegal aliens race north across this part of the Mexican border and into Arizona.

Included in this stampede are people from Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. In addition, smugglers use this most desolate part of America's border as a freeway to traffic thousands of pounds of heroin and cocaine to America's cities.

To add even more to the outrage, hundreds of sex slaves are also pushed north across this part of the border each year.

According to Robert C. Bonner, former commissioner of the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, more than half of all illegal aliens entering the United States do so through Arizona.

The violence continues to increase and while our federal politicians seek votes from any quarter (legal or illegal, they all vote), our cities are now taking action to protect themselves. Phoenix, Arizona is facing massive levels of violent illegal alien crime.

The smuggling business in Arizona is quite lucrative (it costs an average of $2,000 to be smuggled into the United States and smuggling just ten "pollos" means $20,000 in tax free cash) and gunfights between various smuggling groups are carried even to Arizona's network of highways. The State of Arizona is not used to needing tanks to patrol the "Arizona Highways." The image here shows they bought one.

Arizona highway gunfights are real and the smoke from burning vehicles can be seen even to the horizon. Bodies can be strewn across the roadways causing inconvenient traffic delays. All of this is now part of the rich tapestry of life in Arizona -- especially southeastern Arizona.



East Arizona, Part 2

Hard information about what is happening inside Mexico is kept from us by the American Media. The reality, it seems, does not sell advertising. Only the accidental tidbit leaks onto the pages of America's papers.

The Dallas Morning News accidentally reported:

MEXICO CITY -- Hundreds of federal police and soldiers were patrolling the border cities or Reynosa and Matamoros.... marking a new chapter in Mexico's deadly war against drug traffickers. An estimated 600 federal officers and at least six tanks assumed posts in the two (border) cities of Reynosa and Matamoros. The deployments were in response to abductions and executions .....

U.S. State Department Warnings

The United States State Department has been ridiculed in the American Media because it issued a Public Announcement .. "to alert U.S. Citizens to the current situation along the Mexican side of the U.S. - Mexico border in the wake of increased violence among drug traffickers."

This United States State Department Public Announcement continued:

"U.S. citizens should be aware of the risk posed by the deteriorating security situation.....

Violent criminal activity along the U.S. - Mexico border has increased as a product of a war between criminal organizations struggling for control of the lucrative narcotics trade along the border.

Americans have been among the victims of homicides and kidnappings in the border region...

Mexico's police forces suffer from lack of funds and training and the judicial system is weak, overworked and inefficient.

U.S. citizens are urged to be especially aware of safety and security concerns when visiting the border region..."



East Arizona, Part 3

The U.S. State Department has done all that it can do in today's political climate to warn America to stay away from Mexico.

Unfortunately, this massive Mexican drug war does not stop at the border fence. The criminals, the deaths, the unbridled criminality explodes north and deep into America.

There are people living all over America who believe the words of the Founding Father's Declaration of Independence -- which states that secure borders are essential to a safe America. In fact, a call for safe borders is the 27th and the last Cause of Action in that historic document.

The Arizona towns most affected by the onslaught of border criminality are Douglas, Naco, Nogales, Sierra Vista, and Tombstone. There are several large Arizona Indian reservations affected as well.

As reported in Congressional hearings in Washington, D.C., the Indian reservations are being hit hard with over 1,000 cars being abandoned and then burned on their lands each year at the hands of Mexican drug smugglers.

It Gets Worse

Arizona has some of the largest military installations in the United States. One of these has lost over 46 full days of training for our men and women going to Iraq because illegal aliens were causing severe security problems as they scampered over the base's fences and to the north.

On a U.S. Marine Corps installation in Arizona, more than 1,100 illegal aliens were apprehended in just three months. On that same installation, convoys of drug vehicles race north and on to Interstate 8 the major US east west Interstate highway.

And it does get worse. Some of these Mexicans enter our military bases and then steel the explosives from unexploded bombs -- taking the explosives back to Mexico. The highlighted report describes what goes on more than 30 miles inside the United States.



East Arizona, Part 4

The Minutemen

A small group of citizens in the town of Tombstone have gathered together to form "The Minutemen" to call attention to the current border situation. They have called for help asking anyone to come to Tombstone and to help them protect their homes and families and to demonstrate their collective frustration with U.S. government inactivity about the massive levels of border crime.

Yes, the constant flood of criminals and drugs flowing into America through Arizona has caused some of America's citizens to hear the call and to come to Arizona and stand on the border and observe the outrageous circus which is America's border today.

There are evil-doers, however, who want the drugs, drug gangs and everything from El Salvadoran MS-13 members to sex slaves to flood unabated over the border and through southeastern Arizona.

 

With women and even children being raped and murdered and homes constantly being burgled and burned, the citizens of Tombstone are fed up with Washington's refusal to protect them.

The reality:

1.) Mexico is in turmoil.

2.) Mexico has three times the murder rate of the United States even though guns are illegal in Mexico.



East Arizona, Part 5

3.) Mexican border towns are being destroyed by Mexican gang and drug cartel violence and the violence is washing over our border and touching even Chicago and New York.

4.) Just one Mexican town alone has seen over 400 teenage girls kidnapped, raped, dismembered and their bodies buried in shallow graves -- even Jane Fonda has protested that violence. The graves of other teenage girls are scattered all along the Mexican border and they are only discovered when the mummified fingers are exposed by the wind

(Of course, it is a very curious thing that Jane Fonda is willing to protest the wanton murder of young girls by Mexican gangs in Mexico but not the wanton murder of young girls by Mexican gangs inside the USA).

.

5.) The United States State Department warns all U.S. citizens against even entering Mexico through the border areas due to the vast numbers of kidnappings and murders of American citizens.

6.) Another Mexican border town of two million citizens has seen four of their chiefs of police murdered, their newspaper owners and editors machine gunned dead, pitched gun battles between drug cartels right on their city streets, and gunfights right at the U.S. port of entry.

7.) To reduce the violence, vast areas of northern Mexico are now being occupied by Mexican Army troops backed up by tanks.

8.) The political elite of Mexico are not immune. The son of the former mayor of Tijuana was kidnapped and murdered. Former presidents of Mexico and their brothers are in jail for drug crimes..

9.) Thanks to the teaming of Muslim drug lords from Afghanistan with Mexican drug cartels, over 100 human heads have been dumped even along the US / Mexico border. Human heads are floating onto the beaches ofMexican resorts and being dumped five at a time onto nightclub dance floors, and are rolling down the streets of major Mexican cities.

Living in isolated ranches miles from any help with the people just like that in the image above stealing your car or hijacking your wife. The people of Tombstone cannot survive this continued onslaught.



East Arizona, Part 6

Many in America's government agencies are simply disconnected from reality and have no idea whatsoever what is going on along our borders. Washington is now telling America that 700 miles of border fence is too much and TV cameras will defend our borders.

In the same spirit, every U.S. Citizen will soon be required to present a passport when entering the United States from Mexico. Certainly, this must be for our collective safety.

Of course, the four million illegal aliens, drug smugglers, El Salvadoran and Honduran gang members, vast numbers of Mexican drug cartel members, and the coveys of terrified sex slaves who enter our country each year will continue to do so without such diplomatic encumbrances as a passport by simply skirting the official ports of entry and stampeding over the simple four strand wire fence (which is all there is along most of the border) and thence into America.

One might leap to the conclusion that after the year 2008, a U.S. citizens' return to America may also be far easier to accomplish by clambering over those same four delicate strands of border fence instead of waiting long hours at some official port of entry where strip searches are but the next step.

Tombstone

The town of Tombstone is part of American history. It was here, more than a hundred years ago, that America's Wild West was.. wild. Gunfights were frequent happenings. One of the most celebrated gunfights in American Western Lore occurred right off Tombstone's main street in front of a small horse stable called the OK Coral.

Pistols are so hard to handle -- especially when the shootist is .. drunk. But it really helps your score when maybe half of the other team are .. unarmed.

So, yes there is probably about as much truth in what the media is saying about the Arizona border today as you can find in a Hollywood movie about the OK Corral.

But the violence of Mexico races north over the border and brings a cataclism to the isolated towns of Arizona -- including Tombstone.



East Arizona, Part 7

The town of Tombstone has been called "The town too tough to die."

It has that spark of The American Frontiersman even to this day.

Back in 1877 Edward Schieffelin began prospecting between the old Fort Huachuca (now a center for Army Intelligence and CIA operations). He wandered about the countryside prospecting. His army buddies suggested that wandering these arid lands would land him a tombstone and not a silver strike. They were right and wrong. He landed a silver strike, named it Tombstone, the town followed with the same name, and he is buried on a nearby hill.

Mining towns have never been known for their passivity and Tombstone was a center for lawlessness. President Chester Arthur threatened to declare martial law if the violence wasn't kept in check.

The embarrasing reality is that the lawlessness of today's Arizona at the hands of drug smugglers and alien smugglers is actually greater than the lawlessness of Chester Arthur's day but it is ignored.

The hardworking people of the Tombstone area supported America in two World Wars by providing America with the manganese and lead. Tombstone was also instrumental in the making of America's atomic bomb in that key machinery used to refine the bomb materials used hundreds of tons of pure silver -- and much of that silver had come from Tombstone, Arizona.

The saloons of Tombstone are rich in history -- and bullet holes. Many continue to operate to this day -- although the rich smell of gun smoke remains in the distant romantic past.



East Arizona, Part 8

While Tombstone is a tourist town during the late morning and early afternoon, the ranchers and businessmen breakfast and dine at the local eateries and drink at the saloons when the tourists are gone.

American Lore about Wild West "Saloon Girls" -- curvaceous and eager to please -- has lost a bit to the more modern reality. And while tattoos were anathema to eager maidens of that older era, they seem to be an essential fashion statement for the Tombstone of today.

The people of Tombstone actually believe their homes should be safe and their children safe and that Mexican gunfights up and down the local Interstate should not be one of Arizona's many recreational offerings.

There was a time in Arizona history when authorities were corrupt and any concept of law and order a romantic fantasy. To protect their homes and children in such a hostile land, the ranchers and home owners gathered together to protect themselves because no one else would.

Today we have known felons with facial tattoos that say "TRY ME" in black ink above each cheekbone skittering through southern Arizona homes. We have Mexico an armed camp with Mexican army tanks patrolling the streets. We have hundreds of innocent Mexican teenage girls in border towns raped, murdered and dismembered just for sport (with Jane Fonda actually pacing out in front and protesting). We have drug cartels smuggling tons of cocaine and heroin into the U.S. and those cartels are now teamed with the war lords of Afghanistan who truly want to see us all dead. We have thousands of gang members from Honduras and El Salvador who slaughter women and children and burn school buses to the ground now creeping northward through Arizona's shadowed canyons.

East Arizona, Part 9

And the United States government does absolutely nothing. Calling 911 works -- in theory -- but when you call, and call, and call, and even after ten years no one responds, you have a problem. That stained glass has been in Tombstone for over 100 years. The gravity of the situation around Tombstone is extreme. Here are the people the women and children of Tombstone meet in their back yards.

The local Tombstone newspaper is the Tombstone Tumbleweed and this crisp little weekly paper does its best to keep the local citizenry alerted to the critical agri-gossip and town hall intrigues. The newspaper also reports on the flood of illegal aliens and drugs and modern day Mexican shootouts in the nearby hills.

The publisher of the local paper has somehow alienated many of Arizona's political elite by denouncing the illegal alien flood and the various dangers such a flood of criminality poses to his town, the state of Arizona, and to America as a whole.

To reduce the level of hue and cry about border issues, Arizona's civil servants are spending state tax revenues to buy up land along the Arizona / Mexico border. This then does make such border land "state property".

In Arizona, one must have a "permit" to walk on state property. The permit is an official document and certain persons not possessing such a document when met by state officials while on state property can be arrested. Anyone wishing to walk on state property can pay $15 to $25 and -- if the state agrees -- be issued said permit and they must then carry said permit with them as required.

Of course, anyone applying for such a permit is subject to a background check and some people -- the publisher of the Tombstone Tumbleweed for example -- may not actually be found eligible for such a permit which is issued at the pleasure of the State of Arizona.

Thus, the publisher of the Tombstone Tumbleweed is not allowed to traverse the border lands owned by the state of Arizona (which is more and more of the border) and discover and report various events concerning the constant flood of Mexican border miscreants. However, any illegal alien traversing the same area will not be arrested by state officials because said illegal alien is an illegal alien and thus a federal problem.



East Arizona, Part 10

Thankfully, the flood of illegals is so massive that the Tombstone Tumbleweed's publisher need walk no further than his own back door to monitor illegal alien traffic. He need not do more than look north toward the Interstate to see the black clouds of smoke from burning vehicles left behind by some alien smuggler's or drug smuggler's "territorial dispute" -- i.e. gunfight. Looking to the west he can see the wisps of smoke from stolen cars burning on the distant Indian reservations.

The concept one must embrace quickly is that just because you have not heard about all of this going on does not mean that it isn't happening. It is happening. Your TV, radio, and newspaper just don't tell you about it.

Just to the south of Tombstone is a vast warren of rendezvous points where herds of illegals rest and wait for their transport north to Tucson and Phoenix and even Chicago or New York. These rendezvous points are usually not more than 50 ft off the road and yet can cover half an acre to several acres.

These places are simply covered -- carpeted -- in everything from human feces to back packs to soiled clothing. The stench of urine hangs in the air.

The.............. Sierra Club

Why is it that the Sierra Club is absolutely and completely silent about all of this?

With 750,000 members and a yearly budget of over $100 million, one might think that they could afford to discover and discuss the incredible damage being done here to the environment..

Since this problem has been going on for over a decade, one might leap to the conclusion that the Sierra Club is in complete support of drug smugglers, Honduran murder gangs, and the sale of 12 year old sex slaves and in fact approves of the incredible damage being done along our border.



East Arizona, Part 11

A separate tragedy is that the tons of feces and rotton food and soiled clothing is later cleaned up by local Boy Scouts.

America's children clean these desease ridden lands only to have them soiled again and again with no end in sight.

These places are also sprinkled with golden petals of great interest -- hundreds of old money transfer receipts -- for funds sent south.

Since most of Arizona is fenced, the illegals must clamber over multiple strands of barbed wire to gain access to these rendezvous points. In many places it's best to burrow under the fence so that passersby will not notice any deformation to the barbed wire fence line. Remember, in this part of the country a rancher's broken fence is noticed. These burrowing places will sometimes be covered over so as to not be visible from the paved road or dug at an angle so that speeding vehicles will not gain a view of the trough just below the fence.

The well worn -- even polished -- trench used by illegals to gain access to the paved highway where their coyote will collect them and transport them to Tucson, Phoenix, or even Chicago.

The usual process requires that the illegals -- 50 or even 100 at a time -- will be guided over the border and then told to march along certain trails or following certain markers and then stop. Along this part of the Arizona border the San Pedro river offers a reasonable pathway from the border to these rendezvous points just south of Tombstone.

After releasing his "pollos" to clamber northward on their own, the coyote will then stop in some developed area such as the town of Sierra Vista and purchase food and drink for his charges. He will then drop this food and drink at the rendezvous point and again remove himself from the area and await their arrival.



East Arizona, Part 12

After some hours, the coyote will then periodically traverse the roadway adjacent to the rest spot and look for sign.

A favorite food of smugglers and the smuggled is Church's Chicken. This specific chicken restaurant in Sierra Vista, Arizona, is the source of their favorite repast.

When the illegal alien herd arrives and restores themselves with the food and water they will then look for the coyote. He will drive past and signal and then return with the vehicle pointing northward and the illegal aliens will race toward the vehicle in groups of even ten. They have been told to drop everything that might encumber them -- back packs, extra clothing -- so that more of them can be squeezed into the vehicle.

In the case of drug smugglers, the contraband is sometimes loaded onto the shoulders of human mules and transported across the border to rendezvous points -- even half way houses or drop houses -- where the drugs can then be hidden in innocuous vehicles and transported to Tucson and Phoenix.

The recent changes to air transport security have made the transport of drugs by commercial aircraft more difficult.

Huge loads of drugs are taken north across the border in caravans of Toyota pickup trucks with drug smugglers holding huge tarps above the vehicles. The tarps are held several feet in the air and create shadows over the vehicles. The Toyotas and their drug loads are supposed to now be hidden from the view of surveillance aircraft and satellites. This is one popular method for the transport of drugs through the Arizona Indian reservations.

To stop this trafficking, many parts of the border have had six inch diameter surplus oil drilling pipe pounded into the ground every four feet for hundreds of miles. This drill pipe is quite difficult to cut and even if one pipe has been cut the chances of actually squeezing a vehicle through the widened space is chancy.

The Indian reservations also face a thousand vehicles a year being used by independent operators to smuggle somewhat smaller loads of drugs. The vehicles are usually stolen in Phoenix or Tucson and then driven south into Mexico where they are loaded with drugs and then driven north into the Indian country. The drug loads are then transferred to other vehicles and the original vehicle is burned to destroy all evidence. Yes, the Indian reservations have over 1,000 burned vehicles scattered over their lands each year.

As night falls on Tombstone, scores of isolated ranches face another night of terror and no help from our "homeland security."



East Arizona, Part 13

Half way between Tombstone and the U.S. / Mexico border is the town of Bisbee. It's an "Artist Colony" made famous by Kim Bassinger's role in the popular Hollywood movie L. A. Confidential. Ms. Bassinger played a Hollywood prostitute doing five Johns a day who planned to someday open shop in Bisbee. From the looks of it, she did.

The citizens of Bisbee are also faced with the rush of illegal aliens and the annoying echoes of United States Border Patrol vehicles screaming through the night.

Illegals stumbling along Arizona Highways are a common sight. Usually, they are alone because they either refused to pay the coyote who brought them this far or the coyote and the rest of the pollos diagnosed the illegal had turberculosis. Many illegals can hide their turberculosis long enough to get a job making salads in some restaurant. Some simply fall over at the side of the road. Others are far more streetwise than you might imagine.

By federal law anyone who walks into an emergency room must be treated whether they can pay or not. The hospital in Bisbee has been overrun by illegals and faces bankruptcy. The Copper Queen Hospital has but 14 beds but has spent $1.4 million it does not have to provide medical care to these illegals. To keep the doors open the hospital has cut back on care for American citizens. That was the only way the hospital could remain open.

The thrill of the chase and the concomitant adrenaline rush seem to still be coursing through the circulatory system of this local officer. The sound of handcuffs zipping around wrists is a thrill he still seeks. For your safety and that of the local citizenry, it may be best to stay clear of Bisbee.



East Arizona, Part 14

From Bisbee, the Mexican border is but minutes away. The closest official port of entry is at the small Arizona town of Naco. The United States Border Patrol operations between Bisbee and Naco are strained by funding and materiel shortages. U.S. Border Patrol vehicles must wait extended periods for even the most minor repairs.

[pic]

Attacks by "Undocumented Migrants" cause mountains of Border Patrol vehicle body panels to pile up on the scrap heap.

[pic]

The town of Naco exists for no discernable reason. Recently, the official port of entry at Naco was closed by hundreds of protestors on the Mexican side of the border. These protestors were ... protesting!

Exactly why they were protesting is unknown since there is really nothing much there but rusting walls of steel plate, four strands of thin wire trailing off for miles, and a few dozen overworked Border Patrol agents.



East Arizona, Part 15

The term "Naco" is from the Opata language and means prickly pear fruit. The local Indians are of two groups: The Opata and the Pima. The Catholic missionaries detailed the local demographics in the text Orinoco Ilustrado by a Father Johann Nentvig in which reported the comments of Father Gumilla. In that work Gumilla describes the Opata: "Their nature is based upon four traits, each more despicable than the one that follows -- Ignorance, Ingratitude, Inconstancy, and Laziness."

The locals can be forgiven because they were / are the prey of the Apaches just to the north. Considering their history as being one of merely sheep to the slaughter would not be too unkind. Today, some psychologist on a million dollar government research grant might instead call them "passive aggressive."

The front of the United States Border Patrol Station at Naco is about the size of a Wendy's or Arby's restaurant.

 

 

 

As with Boeing's contract for the "Secure" Border Initiative, cameras are alive and looking east and west. That we have no one to catch the smugglers and no place to put them if we did, seems not the point of SBI.

As we approach the border at Naco we are warned that the citizens of Mexico do not enjoy any Second Amendment Rights and that guns are illegal in Mexico.

Since the border area just to the south of us is being patrolled by the Mexican Army in real live fully armed tanks and the drug cartels are fighting pitched gun battles everywhere from Juarez to Nogales and even to distant Tijuana where the border touches the Pacific Ocean, any firearm you could possibly fit inside your vehicle would be far too small to offer you any effective defense.

A Potemkin Border exists at Naco. To each side of the less than inspiring port of entry the border is reinforced with steel plate. This reinforcement only extends about half a mile east and west of the port of entry.

 

 

 

The federal authorities in Washington seem to operate on the logic that people can be trapped on an escalator by turning it off. Walking a few feet to either side of the steel reinforcement would be cheating!



East Arizona, Part 16

To overwhelm the local Border Patrol, smugglers once crashed huge trucks over the border barriers and raced north.

Hundreds of such events would occur each month. Those areas where a truck can build up enough speed to crash through the border have been reinforced with foot thick steel panels.

 

 

Mexican border violence has turned the small sleepy American town of Naco into a ghost town.

 

The green leafy thing is a plant of the gourd variety and no matter how hard they tried, the local Indians could find no practical use for it.

 

 

The plan for this part of the border is a new sturdy double fence. The primary barrier at the border line itself may soon be made of perforated steel plate about eight feet high. It is perforated so that the Border Patrol Agents will be able to see the illegals massing on the south side.

The secondary barrier may soon be a fifteen to twenty foot high climb proof expanded metal fence. Someplaces along the border these secondary fences have their tops canted 45 degrees to the south. Experience has shown that such shapes actually make fence climbing easer.

An all weather road will be constructed between these two fences. Lights and cameras will fill out the system.

Such a barrier may be constructed from here in Naco to Douglas, Arizona, 25 miles to the east. This new barrier will help seal this major smuggling corridor.



East Arizona, Part 17

Another border gateway to America exists at the larger town of Douglas, Arizona. This part of the border is quite built up and has fully paved streets and many traffic lights. It even has a McDonalds. In fact, it has one of the finest McDonalds anywhere in the United States. If food gathering is on your to-do list then stopping just shy of the Douglas Port of Entry and feasting on real cholesterol, offered in total abundance, will be a refreshing treat.

The town of Douglas is about one tenth the size of the Mexican town of Agua Prieta just to its south.

Border violence has ravaged the area unabated for over a hundred years but it has never been as violent as it is today. Even Agua Prieta's chief of police suddenly, spontaneously, has just reached immortality. Yes, Police Chief Ramón Tacho Verdugo seems to have stepped into a horizontal rain squall of hot lead. More than 40 bullets perforated him in an ambush right outside his Agua Prieta police headquarters. The motive is murky, but it almost certainly involved control of the smuggling routes into Arizona, Mexican and U.S. officials said

The remoteness of this place has, for over a century, made it a nexus for smuggling of all kinds.

The town has fed off the smugglers by providing food, tools, clothing, guns, whatever was needed for their dynamic enterprise. The violence and rampant criminality has made closing this part of the border a priority.

The townsfolk were not too happy to discover a massive US Border Patrol station was to be built not four miles to the north. The good news for the town is that the influx of Border Patrol Agents has made up in large part for their loss of smuggling business.

Just because the city of Douglas has this huge United States Border Patrol facility bringing safety to the children of the community does not mean that it is welcome. The mayor of Douglas is reported by the local media as favoring open borders and so the U.S. Border Patrol is certainly in the way.

While you might think of "smuggling" as nothing but booze and maybe marijuana, the reality is that this part of the border had trafficking in drugs, sex slaves, and even human organs.

.

The Border Patrol Station at Douglas is huge but not nearly large enough to handle the rush.



New Mexico

The U.S. state of New Mexico is under attack by drug cartels and smugglers and little can be done to stop the border violence without federal troops.

This state's 180 mile border with Mexico is nearly devoid of human habitation. Isolated ranches and small farms dot the border area. Because the population is so small (less than two million in a state of 50,000 square miles) , little federal funding is available to build adequate border infrastructure.

Because New Mexico occupies such a strategic east - west position it has been favored with an extensive Interstate Highway System. The combination of fast roads and no people bodes catastrophe for the residents of this state. The drug cartels have taken over. Don't think that even the federal government will help. Even when smugglers and drug gangs are arrested, the embarrassingly under- funded federal prosecutors have to prioritize cases and that means some very bad people go free for lack of prosecutors to handle the cases. New Mexico has the fourth highest federal case load in the United States yet has but one city worth the name : Albuquerque.

This isolated town is home to one of the largest nuclear weapons facilities in the world. What it would take for the al Qaeda and Mexican criminals now operating in New Mexico's border areas to repeat the attack of 1916 but against a nuclear weapons facility is unknown but a nightmare worth Hollywood's attention.

The efforts of Texas to stem the flow of cross-border Mexican army troops and drug gang attacks plus new efforts to stem the flow of illegals in Arizona has put tremendous pressure on New Mexico. While Texas has gone high-tech by placing video cameras along the border accessible over the Internet. Showing border violence to the world has caused "civil rights" groups of all stripes to protest and New Mexico seems eager to keep its drugs and violence a secret to itself.

The 53 mile stretch of border near Columbus / Deming, the USBP has installed seven camera towers. This area also has some vehicle barrier systems.

Part of that vehicle barrier, 17 miles west of Columbus, N.M. was built in 2000 by Joint Task Force North out of Fort Bliss, Texas and it was discovered to encroach into Mexico territory between one and six feet along a 1.5-mile stretch.

The Mexican government threw a hissy fit and demanded that the vehicle barrier be removed pronto. What they refuse to acknowledge is that the entire border barrier along all 1,945 miles of our southern border is between one and six feet north of the border. This is done so that when the drug smugglers and illegal alien smugglers tear it apart our crews can repair it without entering the Republic of Mexico. By having our barrier north of the border we have handed Mexico a combined area of over 1,000 acres of US territory.

In places like Lordsburg, 52 agents are responsible for 81 miles of border and the 3,000 square miles of adjacent border area.

Unlike Texas and Arizona which have urban centers south of the border that operate as staging areas for the drug smugglers, in this part of the border the smugglers needed to be creative. Here, the smugglers use the public school buses to move their people and drugs from Mexican towns of Palomas and Las Chepas to the border twenty miles away. The smugglers also use abandoned mining towns and abandoned ranch homes in Mexico as operating bases. If the ranch wasn't abandoned when the smugglers arrived, it was when they started their smuggling operations.

Smuggler apprehensions have doubled over a single year -- from 2,588 in the first half of one year to 4,797 in the first half of the next.



Texas Border, Part 1

The triple threat of drug smuggling, illegal aliens, violent gangs, and the concomitant rise in violence is no more evident than in the state of Texas.

Along the U.S. border with Mexico there are 43 Ports of Entry. Of these 43 entry points, 18 are in Texas.

Nearly all of these Ports of Entry are connected to major highway systems in Texas. The illegal alien smugglers, drug smugglers and criminal gangs use these major highways to then spread into America.

While we have all heard of the "Mafia" and have watched "The Sopranos", the fact is that these Hispanic gangs are the most violent organized criminals ever seen in the United States.

It has finally become so incredibly dangerous to walk the streets of Texas border towns that the Texas legislature wants to pass a law allowing citizens to "shoot first" when threatened. While opponents call this the "shoot thy neighbor" bill, the reality is a bit different.

 

The far left might celebrate this new level of "diversity" but the reality of innocent children being gunned down in their front yards and housewives being raped in WalMart parking lots has created a groundswell of frustration within the Texas citizenry.

If the Department of Homeland Security won't let the United States Border Patrol defend our borders then -- at least in Texas -- the citizens may soon be allowed to defend themselves.

These gangs -- including MS 13 -- act as the "army" for the Mexican drug cartels and enforce their will here in the United States.

The border violence against American citizens inside the United States has never been as high as it is today. Further, the threat is not just the gangs from Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. The threat is also from Middle Eastern individuals being moved from Central America through Mexico, into Texas, and into the rest of United States.

To assist in this terror, Venezuela is providing many of these criminals and terrorists with real travel documents to ease their transit into the United States.

Because so little is being done to protect the citizens of Texas (or Arizona, or California, but they are discussed elsewhere) the governor of Texas funded the installation of border video cameras to help detect these criminal elements crossing into his lands. The media immediately condemned the act as hateful, mean spirited and racist. When the camera system detected five illegal aliens who were then -- thanks to the real time imagery -- apprehended, the media condemned the cameras again for assisting in the capture of these "victims."



Texas Border, Part 2

Because the Texas border with Mexico is so immense, it is a major target of these criminal gangs. This Texas border with Mexico is over 1,200 miles long.

This is not some haphazard effort of small groups of foreign innocents struggling northward. The influx is massive and a major portion of it is drug smugglers, slave smugglers, sex slave smugglers, and criminal gangs.

Nearly all of the trains moving north from the interior of Mexico are covered in young males soon to illegally enter the United States.

 

 

This is not an exaggeration. The trains reaching the Texas border are filled with individuals from deep within Mexico and points south including gang members from El Salvador.

 

The threat posed by these people increases the closer they get to the U.S. border.

 

If fact, the threat to Americans is so great that U.S. railways such as the Union Pacific want to have their trains transiting into the United States from Mexico inspected by foreign nationals inside Mexico instead of by Americans.

Paul Thompson, the United Transportation Union (railway workers) international president, has gone on record objecting to the plan.

"It is too dangerous for Americans to set foot in Nuevo Laredo," Thompson said. "Union Pacific says with a straight face that mechanical safety inspections of trains can be performed safely in Mexico, but even its own officials won't travel there. Nor will FRA officials even visit the facility where these inspections allegedly will be performed by who knows whom, under unknown conditions, and with no U.S. federal safety oversight."

While it seems that many Americans are terrified at the thought of stepping across our southern border, some American politicians want the border gone:

Texas Border, Part 3

As stated earlier, the gangs coming across the border are often agents or "soldiers" of the Mexican drug cartels. These Mexican cartels are now teamed with the Muslim drug lords of Afghanistan and the violence -- especially the varieties of extreme violence are expanding.

While the citizens of Texas suffer at the hands of illegal aliens, some plan the abolition of our borders. Compare the drug cartel map below with the well-funded plan of these people.

[pic]

 

These train loads of illegals come across the border at the railheads of Laredo, McAllen, and Brownsville, Texas.

The problems along the more westerly areas of the Texas /Mexico border are not any better.

The Mexican side of the El Paso / Juarez area is home to automobile manufacturing plants and the products of these plants then are transported by train into the United States for sale in American car dealerships. The vehicles so transported are often vandalized, stripped, or used as cushioned transport by illegals. When used in this way the interiors of the cars are often used as toilets. This criminality occurs as the rail cars are slowly moving along the border.



Texas Border, Part 4

The Laredo, Texas and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico area is the most violent area along the entire U.S. / Mexico border. Several Mexican drug cartels are fighting for turf and power along this part of the border and its long finger into America which the cartels call "The Plaza."

As with the rest of the U.S. / Mexico border, various gangs and cartels control vast segments of the border itself. Should you wish to smuggle illegal aliens, slaves or sex slaves or especially drugs into the United States then you must pay a tribute to the gang or cartel on the ground in that area.

Since illegal aliens murder more people inside the United States each year than we have lost in Afghanistan and Iraq in five years of war, one has to wonder why the border is not protected. Yes, al Qaeda killed four aircraft full of Americans but illegal aliens murder more than three times that many people inside the U.S. each and every year and nothing is done to stop them. 

To enforce their will upon the "unwilling" the cartels use a hired army called "Zetas." The "Zetas" were originally Mexican Army deserters. Today they are made up of Mexican Special Forces, Mexican Federal, State and local police and even Mexican civilian assassins and torturers. Guatemalan "armies" are also now operating in northern Mexico and inside Texas.

Last year the violence of Mexico took a bad turn when beheadings became the fashion. Human heads started washing up on the beaches of Acapulco, the streets of Tijuana, and the dance floors of popular nightclubs (five heads scattered across the dance floor of a bar on September 6, 2006 in Michoacan).

Other methods of killing and torture include a favorite of Muslims of Somalia which in Mexico is called "guisoe." The subject is placed in a 55 gallon drum and then drenched with gasoline and set on fire. Other popular methods today include placing a burning tire about the victims neck and letting his head slowly burn off.

These gangs are in charge below the border. When Nuevo Laredo elected a new police chief -- Alejandro Dominguez -- he was dead before sundown on the day of his swearing in ceremony.

The United States is now nearly in a Death Spiral of political correctness. Because the unbridled violence is cause by a "minority" it is nearly impossible to discuss this barbarity without being labeled a racist by the media.

Thanks to the lack of public support of the Border Patrol, violence against U.S. Border Patrol Agents doubled in one year.



Texas Border, Part 5

While all of this is distressing, it does get worse. There have been more than 50 kidnappings of Americans along the Texas / Mexico border in the last two years. Some of the Americans have been released.

The invasions of Texas by the Mexican Army are frequent and violent. Further, the Mexicans in military uniforms -- or not -- show absolutely no respect for women or children.

The U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Anthony Garza, has sent multiple Diplomatic Notes to the Government of Mexico.

Ambassador Garza has stated: "Violence in the U.S. / Mexico border region continues to threaten our very way of life......... Drug cartels, aided by corrupt officials, reign unchecked in many (Mexican) towns along our border."

The greatest threat to U.S. -- and Texas -- sovereignty is the new NAFTA superhighway soon to bring most of Mexico's nationals -- and hundreds of thousands of gang members from as far south as Brazil -- through the heart of America.

The Last Word must be reserved for a Texas University Professor who explains to Texans the state's collective future:

!



Secure Border Initiative, Part 1

The United States Congress has decided to placate the millions of Americans who have been victims of border violence and violence at the hands of illegal aliens operating deep within our country. Congress now offers America's citizens a poltice of platitudes. But while Congress pretends to protect our borders, other groups have other plans.

 

The Secure Border Initiative (SBI) has been notionally proffered to solve our border security problems.

Protecting America from the violence to the south has inspired all sorts of earnest thought on what we should do. Some has made it to the popular press.

The SBI program – won by Boeing – is a program, a “plan” to use “technology” to stop Mexico’s invasion across our southern border.

To Boeing the effort seems to consist of two major tasks and a one minor task. The first task is to build a beauracracy to act as a cut-out between the U.S. Border Patrol agents on the ground and Washington’s vision of border reality. The second task is to create a network of integrated technologies to monitor the border and to validate the identities of those apprehended along the border. The third task is to create some few miles border barrier to show "progress" in actually slowing illegal border crossings.

In alphabetical order, Boeing has teamed with:

Centech Group

DRS Surveillance and Reconnaissance

Elbit Systems’ Kollsman Division

L-3 Communications Government Services.

L-3 Communication Systems

Lucent Technologies.

Perot Systems

Unisys

USIS.

The Cut-Out

At present, U.S. Border Patrol sectors depend upon other government agencies to implement the construction of their infrastructure. If the USBP needs a fence or a road then they can – for example -- call in the United States Army Corps of Engineers to go out to bid, let the contract, and manage the construction effort. This managing government agency then gets a “fee” from the total funding to manage the program. This “fee” seems to hover between ten and fifteen percent.

With Boeing now wedged between the USBP and Washington, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is out and Boeing has taken their place. One of the problems with this concept is that – Katrina not withstanding – the Corps of Engineers had some vague clue about what was needed and what would work along the border and as yet Boeing seems to remain clueless.

The good news for Washington is that all proposals, publicity, media focus, or embarrassing expose’s, all now drop at the feet of Boeing and so DHS is no longer the only target of derision. No longer do you talk to the Border Patrol or even DHS -- all border infrastucture questions go to Boeing.



Secure Border Initiative, Part 2

The first effort from Boeing is to try to do “something” in the Tucson sector of the border where there are some really horrendous breaches of national security.

Their other efforts may also include some attention to Yuma sector and the massive rush of smugglers trying to hit the main east west U.S. Interstate that lies from just 100 feet to about 20 miles north of the Mexican border.

Further, with our continued involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq, our forces need training and yet the military training areas surrounding Yuma must be constantly closed due to illegal alien incursions – more than 60 training days a year are being lost. This is especially true of the Chocolate Mountain area training ranges. Efforts are in the works to put impromptu observation posts between the border and the bombing ranges and right along the freeway -- all looking south.

[pic]

The National Guard

Thanks to “Operation Jump Start” hundreds of National Guard troops have been trucked to various border hotspots to provide manpower for border fence construction and also to act as border lookouts.

Some of the Guard's border fence construction effort has been halted due to yet another federal lawsuit by “environmentalists.” These are the same kinds of people who protest the steam cleaning of urine and feces from the sidewalks in Los Angeles because the "homeless" might then feel unwanted and feel the area is no longer their home... You may not agree with these "people" but that does not mean they are not very effective.

The constant well funded "environmentalist" attacks against securing our borders from the mayhem from the south has already brought much of SBI to a grinding halt.

The following information is elsewhere on this site but the magnitude of the insanity and threat to national security from their fantasies shows why we still have over 300 people murdered each month in this country at the hands of illegal aliens.

Here is a -- now in the courts click to download the PDF -- lawsuit example:



Secure Border Initiative, Part 3

The San Diego / Tijuana area has the second highest volume of illegal alien apprehensions in the nation. Only Tucson Sector has a higher volume.

Tijuana is also the center of gravity for several very violent drug cartels who murdered 30 Tijuana policemen last year alone. It has had four of its chiefs of police murdered, has a murder body count higher than all of Western Europe combined, has altercations between federal police and the cartels with the cartels using belt fed machineguns, the entire police force was disarmed for a month and federal troops took the city, and last year Tijuana actually had human heads rolling down the streets.

Into this diverse melieu enter... "the environmentalists."

The "environmentalists" have filed suit.

The “environmentalists” say that the border northwest of Tijuana, Mexico -- that is California’s Border Field State Park -- is an environmental jewel (it says so in the lawsuit), and that a border fence will stop equestrians from enjoying the view of the ocean. The reality is that the area is a micturating cesspool of Mexican sewage and industrial wastes with even 25 million gallons of these fluids (that sometimes spontaneously combust) flowing north into the U.S.A on a given day. The San Diego Union newspaper (sixth largest in the U.S.) literally called the place TIJUANA'S TOILET and said that even with millions of American taxpayer dollars in sewage facility construction to solve Mexico's problem "Tijuana will still dump tons of toxic horrors into our common ocean."

Equestrians? Any horse that actually walked through these border fluids might have to be put down.

It is not just dogs and cats that mark their territory with micturation, even lobsters spew their pheromones to mark their area. In the present case it’s Tijuana, Mexico marking their future territory and creating possibly the largest single violation of the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act on the Pacific Coast as their fluids flow into the U.S.A and then across the “park” and into the Pacific. Oh, and the “park” is also an un-cleared bombing range. One area specifically noted in the lawsuit as a true gem for us all and for our children is “Smuggler’s Gulch” where (and somehow not mentioned in the lawsuit) the city and county of San Diego wanted to build a 59 acre foot sewage containment pond to hold back the Mexican… fluids. The whole area is so violent that it has its own 400 agent USBP station with lots of prison cells and the prisoner transport vans arrive twice a day to scoop up the day’s catch.

But thanks to concern for the "environment," the National Guard Jump Start people have been forced to stop work on the border fence. People won’t be building border fences along this area of the border for a long time.

The National Guard’s efforts along other parts of the border -- where they have been tasked with "observing the border” -- have met with interesting replies from the south. This has included being swarmed by well-armed Mexican Federal Troops crossing into the U.S.A as part of their semi-official duties guarding Mexican drug convoys.

Letting the National Guard carry bullets for their guns... would be mean spirited...



Secure Border Initiative, Part 4

Boeing was awarded the Secure Border Initiative contract while admitting to having no experience in border security.

Boeing's Network of Integrated Technologies

Boeing is a technology company. They manage, and sell, and maintain..Technology. The solution to any problem put before them is... Technology.

Boeing is moving portable observation /surveillance towers into the border zones to act as temporary or prototype observation posts. Once the optimum spots for the towers have been determined then permanent towers will be installed. These towers can have remotely operated day and night vision cameras and even radar systems on them. The towers can also have certain digital radio relay systems mounted on them that allow the border patrol agents to communicate more easily with their sector headquarters and to send and receive more information than is possible over their standard hand held radios. Some of this is very good because the agents will have fewer communications dead zones (just like with your cell phone) and this can be good when they are calling for help.

The Big Problem Boeing somehow missed is that to put a camera tower – portable or not – along the border you have to have legal access to the land. You also have to have an access road. You also have to have done some pretty strange and expensive environmental and archeological studies of the area to make sure the area does not have some broken arrowhead buried on it that some Native American tossed away 300 years ago or that the truck you plan to use to deliver lunch to the workers passed it's last smog check (really). If you simply try to ignore such rich gems of archeological and environmental diversity there are lawyers and lawsuits waiting for you. If you doubt this.. return to the example of "Tijuana," above... Or look at the following document's table of contents.

 

 

What is shown at the following links are images of the table of contents for a 246 page document (one of five different documents that are required) to allow the Border Patrol to simply place a Rescue Device (photo on right) on the ground in the desert to allow illegal aliens, drug smugglers, and even terrorists to call for help -- if they get lost in the American desert.

The Border Patrol isn't digging for oil, or building a Yucca mountain nuclear waste repository.. they are gently placing a block of concrete on the surface of the ground that has a flag pole and call button that goes to a radio that lets those in need call for help in the desert.

Page One .... Page Two ... Page Three ... Page Four ... Page Five ...

These reports cost about $1,000 a page to create. There could easily have been over a million dollars spent on the "environmentalist lawsuit mandated" research and paperwork just to keep from being sued for placing that thing on the surface of the ground to try to save smugglers and even terrorists who are wandering around in the desert.

Just that one document detailed above fills 21 megabytes of disk space. The entire CIA World Fact Book is only about 100 megabytes of disk space.

So when you see people protesting about somebody dying in the desert keep in mind that it's those very same people who sue when the Border Patrol tries to put rescue devices in the desert to save those lives.

It gets worse. If you examine Page Two of that document -- items #4 and #6 --you will note that under the "agreement" the Border Patrol is required to stay away from hundreds of square miles of border lands. Yes, to be allowed to place rescue devices on the ground to save lives the Border Patrol had to promise the "environmentalists" to restrict its own surveillance of the border. It's fine with the "environmentalists" if the place becomes a drug smuggler's Freeway To The North but just don't let the Border Patrol go there.

This is the sort of "stuff" Boeing did not bother to investigate before they bid on this SBI-Net fiasco.

The "environment" not withstanding.. another problem seemingly missed by Boeing is that there really aren't that many places along the border where camera towers will work. Much of the border terrain is far too craggy and has too many deep narrow canyons to make video cameras an effective solution.

Border Access

The U.S. border itself offers a simple east west roadway that is met every few miles by a north south roadway. Almost all of these roads are dirt roads – not all-weather roads. If your “tower” cannot fit on the existing right of way or easement or land you already bought, you are in trouble. Further, the ideal spot for your tower might not be anyplace you can actually use without five years of government acquisition procedures plus ten years in court with the "environmentalists" and then a million dollars in all-weather road construction.



Secure Border Initiative, Part 5

Even when you have the land / easement / right of way it does not mean that the “One Worlders” won’t still drag you into court. South of Yuma, Arizona is a bit of border that separates a real USMC bombing range from the Republic of Mexico. Columns of drug-laden trucks race north from San Luis, Sonora, Mexico, onto the USMC’s bombing range, and then onto the great east-west interstate freeway miles to the north. To stop the flurry of northbound activity concrete filled steel posts are being planted in the ground along the border. They are being planted about four feet apart. An “environmental” lawsuit has now been filed to stop this vile construction because lizards won’t be able to migrate between these posts which are spaced four feet apart.

 

Mexican gangs, drug cartels, and Zetas enforcers do not have a chance to victimize the well-insulated-from-reality far left "salon liberals" of San Francisco and other centers of aberration. It is thus quite easy for our "Disconnected Elite" to tell us what is good for us.

The gang member in this video clip might be babbling a fantasy, but his fantasy is backed up with gang rapes, beheadings, and machine gunning of fully laden school buses. And if you think this guy seems almost normal, remember that these gangs also hack people to pieces with machetes.



America's "salon liberals" have no idea what comes across the border and what these people do here. They refuse to even listen to the reports of the teenage girl gang raped in a south central Los Angeles barrio and then burned alive or any of the other atrocities that occur over three hundred times each month in this country at the hands of illegal aliens.

The problem is that a secure border for America requires the construction of a secure border and it may already be too late for our nation to generate the will to take such action.

The White House and Senator Kennedy may say that a "Virtual Fence" is all we need -- but you don't see the vehicle barriers and fences around the White House and the Capitol building being torn down and replaced with TV cameras on tall poles, and all of their hundreds of security guards "re-deployed" to some spot five miles away. The White House and Teddy Kennedy know better ....when it comes to... their own... safety.

If America's southern border even had the people and barriers now surrounding the White House.. we, and our children, could be safe.



Secure Border Initiative, Part 6

Part of the “technology” soon to be employed by Boeing is real time fingerprint identification of border crossers as they are apprehended in the field. The embarrassing question of: “What difference does it make since you have to haul them all away in plastic handcuffs anyway?” seems to have been too mean spirited for anyone to ask. Another embarrassing question to ask would have been “How many more prisoner transport vehicles could we buy with that money instead?”

In some places along our border the Border Patrol vehicles being used are in such bad shape that if you take your hands off the steering wheel they drive themselves in tight circles -- the whole front end is gone from driving over such bad roads.

Another interesting technology soon to be fielded by Boeing are Blackberry type PDAs. These PDAs are to allow the Agents to get instant updates on the positions of illegals along the border. Here too, we have a solution to a nonexistent problem. It takes even an hour for Agents to get into position to apprehend illegals. This is especially true when the illegals cross in large groups and have to be surrounded.

Standard operating procedure for most Agents is to "stand on the X" and park their vehicles on specific spots. Agents do not wander like grazing cows.

Existing USBP helicopters are already quick on the scene and do a good job at tracking and herding. Giving the Agents a real time map of all the activity in their sector of operation might be good for the smugglers to see -- because it might show the positions of all the Agents -- but it does little for Agents who might have to spend twenty minutes traversing three miles of rutted dirt road to try to make the apprehension. Yes, there are places in Arizona where five miles an hour is a Border Patrol vehicle's top speed because the "environmentalists" have stopped anyone from smoothing the dirt road. Yes, if you go smooth that road you can be sued.

This PDA "real time technological solution" is but another example of something from people who spend their days in pristine offices and where dribbling donut sugar on their $100 tie is the worst that will happen to them this week.

What the Border Patrol Agents need are roads they can drive on. Notice that they are not getting what they need -- roads -- because they then could actually do their job.

Secure Border Initiative, Part 7

Further, the "environmentalists" have forced the Agents to stop using a drag made of old tires to smooth the surface of the road so that northbound footprints can be seen in the dust. Even just smoothing the road to see the drug smuggler's footprints is "environmental damage." Are you seeing a "plan" here?

Another eagerly funded technology yet to meet with any sanity check is the installation of a GPS system on each Border Patrol vehicle, horse, and Agent. No one has yet asked the Border Patrol Union about this level of snooping on its members.

When it comes to Boeing's border barrier construction, it gets worse. Present Boeing requirements are for a barrier that can withstand a 6,000 pound vehicle hitting it at 40 miles per hour. The implication here is that the driver won't survive the event and that drug smugglers go on suicide missions. All it really means is that the driver – to survive – will not drive a 6,000 pound vehicle but instead a 60,000 pound vehicle. Further, they must also think the driver won't find a way of getting up to 40 miles an hour on the Mexican side of the border. It is true, however, that the noise from such an exciting enterprise would attract Agents even from over the horizon, but unless John Wayne’s War Wagon of 1967 can be resurrected, America should be safe with a far less paranoid and far more effective migratory encumbrance.

Such a requirement shows a set of thought processes completely devoid of any understanding of how smugglers operate or think. What smugglers usually do is hack away at a barrier for days or weeks and then quietly slide through. Other smugglers build interesting ramps and simply drive over the low vehicle barriers now being installed.

The present Boeing inspired Barrier can be considered little more than a speed bump to smugglers. Nobody's going to be crazy enough to crash through it, it's only four feet high, they'll just go over it. Smugglers can be far more brainy than Boeing might believe...

For example, there are places along the border where border barriers of six inch diameter steel pipe are planted in wet concrete during the day and are dug up and replaced with the same steel pipe – without the concrete foundation – at night. Time passes. Drug convoys arrive at the border, they pop the loose bits of pipe out of the ground and then race north with millions of dollars in drugs. What does Boeing take these people for... Fools?

For an effective vehicle barrier all one needs is something that takes time to destroy or evade. So long as it takes hours of fiddling to get past the barrier there can be lots of people in green and white vehicles on the north side of the border arriving all at once and almost hoping for cordite smoke to soon waft in the air.



Secure Border Initiative, Part 8

Another interesting Boeing requirement is for a climb-proof fence. Some distance north of the vehicle barrier there is to be – in some locations -- a climb-proof fence. A climb-proof fence 15 feet high does not work. A climb-proof fence 15 feet high with a 45 degree overhang really does not work. A climb-proof fence 25 feet high works fine. What are “we” building?

Not that.

The Dark Reality of SBI is that what Boeing is creating is a fully automated traffic monitoring system like the one used by state highway organizations to count cars on the freeway -- with the "511" option. They are not building something to stop the traffic but only count the people going past. Building real barrier infrastructure is building something permanent. A wall is permanent and it works. Boeing is building a billion dollar set of traffic lights.

"They" are funding the concept of a secure border, but only building something that's easy to tear down and even easier to abandon.

The Lemming's Reality

Let's say you have ten million lemmings. All the lemmings plan to stampede into your yard. You can install TV cameras and lemming sensors and lemming counters. The problem is that you are not stopping the lemmings. You are creating a Harvard University Study of lemming behavior.

To stop the lemmings from getting into your yard you need to stop them from getting into your yard.

If you installed barriers like those to be installed along our border then you would have to maintain about one Lemming Stopping Person every half mile seven days a week and 24 hours a day. This works out to about $700,000 per half mile per year for Lemming Stopping People alone.

In our case, we will need about 30,000 new agents to make this work. This will never happen because it is mean spirited to hire people to protect our border and even if we tried it would take ten years to get them all trained and fielded.

What is needed is a barrier that does not need agents every half mile 24 hours a day and seven days a week.

Does such a barrier exist?

Sure.

Does Boeing have it?

No.

Illegal aliens are coming into the United States of America and killing more civilians each year than we have lost solders after five years of war in Afghanistan and Iraq combined. Our government is willing spend one trillion dollars on a project 12,000 miles from home when the real live threat to our families and our children is half an inch south of the U.S. border. Illegal aliens kill more people in the USA every month than would die in a 747 plane crash every single month and nothing is done.

Here are experts in building a border barrier.

Are they building our border barrier?

No.

CONCLUSION

This whole Border Patrol website was an experience to read. These final two entries are important as well, but decided to add as an Addendum to the above file. It may behoove you to review both sections for additional information. My favorite is the last section, as you know my FIRST priority in America is to rid our Nation of the Muslim fraction.

Our Nation was built upon a foundation of Judeo-Christian beliefs and since about the 1920’s, creeping Sharia has made its way into America. Our Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land and NO OTHER FOREIGN LAW should be superior to our Constitution.

I hope this information has been helpful to you. Please let me know if I can help you any further in understanding the dire need for securing our Southern most borders and protecting the legal citizens of the U.S.A.



This section covers BORDER TUNNELS. There is a lot of good information here –There are about 7 pages total here and a very good read.

******

This section to me is one of the scariest parts to this whole portfolio. It discusses The Al Qaeda Manual and shares about 21 pages within this manual. If you did not understand or were not afraid of the Muslim intrusion into the United States through our Southern border before now, this should scare the blazes out of you! Please take the time to read this section. It WILL save your life.
