I can't imagine the Border Patrol telling anyone to look away.
I'm not saying this guy is lying - but I just find it hard to believe.
I have to disagree. While it's important to secure our borders in this age of terrorism, the reason why we have such uncheked illegal immigration is because our government wants them here. They refuse to enforce the laws in existence that would stop illegal immigration in its tracks, and they refuse to repeal the laws that invite illegal immigrants here by the millions.
To stop illegal immigration, all we need to do is STOP all of the welfare benefits, federal, state and local, to illegals. We need to STOP cheap housing for them. We need to STOP hiring them, or STOP allowing our corporations and businesses to hire them by fining them or removing their licenses when they get caught.
When we do these things there will no longer be any reason for illegals to come here, and the illegals already here will no longer have any reasons to stay.
No jobs, no government handouts = no illegal aliens.
The Border Patrol told him to look the other way? It figures.
9 Mexican drug cartels take over U.S. cities WorldNetDaily ^ | June 18, 2006 | Joseph Farah
Mexican drug cartels operating in cities in the U.S. are buying up legitimate businesses to launder money and using some of the proceeds to win local mayoral and city council seats for politicians who can shape the policies and personnel decisions of their police forces, according to Rep. Tom Tancredo "The Tijuana-based Felix drug cartel and the Juarez-based Fuentes cartel began buying legitimate business in small towns in Los Angeles County in the early 1990s," "They purchased restaurants, used-car lots, auto-body shops and other small businesses. One of their purposes was to use these businesses for money-laundering operations.
Once established in their community, these cartel-financed business owners ran for city council and other local offices. Over time, they were able to buy votes and influence in an effort to take over the management of the town. They wanted to create a comfort zone from which they could operate without interference from local law enforcement."
...an example, L.A. County city of Bell Gardens – corrupt elected officials under the influence of drug lords actually tried to shut down the police department. City officials who would not cooperate with the Mexican-born city manager were forced out of office," he writes. "Eventually, the L.A. County attorney's office moved in, and the city manager was prosecuted on charges of corruption.
Unfortunately, Bell Gardens was only the tip of the iceberg. Other Los Angeles suburbs – including Huntington Park, Lynwood and Southgate – became targets for the cartels."
Tancredo reports he has had confidential briefings with top officials in big-city law enforcement who say there are entire cities under the virtual control of Mexican criminal street gangs and their associated businesses, in some cases, making it dangerous for county, state and national law enforcement officers to venture in and rendering any interdepartmental cooperation impossible.

The Minutemen also have built nearly 10 miles of border fence that's styled after Israel's Gaza Strip fence, with four layers of razor wire and fences, he said.
Last I heard, they'd built 2.5 miles of a a 5-strand barbed wire cattle fence. Got any pics of the Gaza-style one?
The group has hired a contractor to help because it's having trouble recruiting volunteers during the extreme June heat.
The "contractor" is a lawyer for their publicity firm, right? The one who is supposed to be in charge of their financial reports, but hasn't produced any yet?
I'm guessing the volunteers didn't want to waste their time building a cattle fence for the rancher, but I could be wrong.
The rancher has already stated that the fence will not stop people & is not meant to stop people but will keep his cattle in & Mexican cattle out.
