This past weekend, 7/26 and 7/27, Jim & Chris Robinson, Syncro & I met up near
McAllen, Texas to observe first-hand the situation at the border along the Rio Grande.
My report is as follows:
Border Patrol Station Operations:
Friday and Saturday we set about observation of the McAllen Border Patrol Station
at 3000 West Military Hwy. Buses were indeed seen leaving at intervals throughout the day.
It was mentioned on this thread that a warehouse was being used to stage illegals
for transport elsewhere. Its location had been reported as 3700 W. Ursula Ave
(Thanks to Buckeye Texan here). In fact, Buckeye was feeding us intel
throughout the day on a variety of goings-on.
Located just Northwest of the Border Patrol Station, we had a look at the facility.
Note that there are numerous unmarked new vans in evidence, as well as new slats
in the chain link fence to block observation of operations inside. There did not
appear to be much security in evidence nor were any movements in or out seen.
They may be conducting their bus operations at night, or this could simply be
a red herring to draw attention away from the actual transfer point.
The facility did not give the appearance of being particularly well secured.
The FReep:
Both Friday and Saturday we set up Jim's RV across from the Border Patrol Station
to protest the distribution of illegals as opposed to summary deportation.
Syncro & Jim, the Bolinas Border Patrol:
Chris & Jim:
Looks like Jim isn't too keen on Obamacare:
We got lots of honks in support, and only a couple of fingers.
Most gratifying were the honks from the Border Patrol agents themselves.
The Camp:
We were able to set up camp at one of the Border Patrol's staging areas for
boat launching and observation. We were asked not to say specifically where.
The Bolinas Border Patrol arrives at the river:
The Patrol had a mobile observation post set up there. Its basically a
high-tech deer stand on a trailer and will raise up to about 25 feet.
It has a generator, communication gear and night vision capabilities.
I thought it was pretty cool.. I want one!
Jim has this section of the border covered:
The Border Patrol ran boat launching and loading operations in continuous
shifts. These guys had it down, too.. they could launch a boat out of there
in about 5 minutes flat. The Patrol guys were very professional and efficient.
We've read reports about the Patrol being pushed back 40 miles from the border.
Maybe somewhere, but not in the Rio Grande valley. And they weren't carrying
diapers and baby bottles either. More like M-4 Carbines with 30 round magazines.
Flying the flag at the border:
Wonderful report and pictures.

Great report, thanks for all the information!
Thank you very much, humblegunner! Great report!
Wish we could spend a couple weeks there, but we’re on the way home now. Maybe next time. The important thing now (IMHO) is to keep up the nationwide protest against the Coyote-in-chief! Landslide in 2016, impeach the lawless traitor in 2017!!
Obama/Reid must be blocked! The congress must act! Perry and other governors must take action to defend their states and citizens against all enemies foreign and domestic!
On behalf of those of us who were with you in spirit (but whose bodies couldn’t make the trip) - Thanks!
Agree.
It needed done. It got done.
LOL.
Wellden: All I need now is an RV, a handgun, an endless supply of gasoline (or diesel) and enough food for the duration and I could join all y’all in your escapades across America to bring attention to the REAL reasons there are no jobs.
(The coyote-in-chief is ALSO an illegal alien, though most people don’t want to believe it. He can be deported too, if there is anything left after his impeachment.)
Thank you all so much for going where most of us can’t and doing what needs to be done for America. You are ALL amazing patriots!
Thanks HG and Jim..
Pshaw.
I drove down there in my electric car and ate recycled ramen.
Plus.. I'm a-skeered of guns.
Cool Weather? We don’t nee no Stinking Cool Weather! Thanks for walking the walk guys.
God bless the Bolinas Border Patrol. And thanks for the report.
That camper is big enough that they could take on about 12 of the little darlings. Get them as they cross the water and cut out the middle men.
:)
Thank you for being there! Great reports!
I LOVE IT when someone else gets my humor!
BLOG PI...
Nevermind :D
LOL!
My car is out of commission, I have a pellet gun, and loathe ramen, since I had to eat so much of it during the Lean Times in my life. However, I’m good at living vicariously, so I enjoyed this!
Good job, Gunny!
