""The bullshit stacked up so fast in the 'Nam you had to have WINGS to stay above it.""
Apocalypse Now. ( How fitting)

as well as in south Texas....................

----------------------------------
Foote said the two undocumented immigrants were taken unharmed to the ranch gate and let go. They were apparently picked up later by the U.S. Border Patrol.

Ranch Rescue is a volunteer group that provides armed patrols to border area ranchers who claim the U.S. Border Patrol is not protecting them or their property from undocumented immigrant trespassers (criminal aliens).

Claim???  Sounds like they just plain DON'T  DO THEIR JOB, why is that?

Texas Ranger Doyle Holdridge..... "This is a very high-volume illegal alien area"
Well hell, if they know that how `bout doing a little work?

------------------------------------

According to the complaint by the unnamed Salvadoran, Henry M. Conner Jr., 62, of Lafayette, La, and James N. Casey, 35, of La Mirada Calif., tracked him and a companion down with a dog, threatened his life, and beat him with a weapon.

An unnamed salvordan???  Why withold the name of the "victim?"   Do we need to notify his mommy and daddy?  WHERE IS THE UNNAMED SALVORDAN NOW???


They were arrested Thursday by Texas Ranger Doyle Holdridge after he took a statement from the Salvadoran. He said the complainant "had a knot on the back of his head about half the size of your fist."

The complainant was "picked up" by the BORDER PATROL, not the Texas Rangers.  The Salvordans were in the custody of the same Border Patrol that "does not do it's job."   Why?

------------------------------------------

"to assist him with dealing with this threat that had been publicized by this same Sheriff, who admitted to WorldNetDaily reporter Jon Dougherty that he was not talking about Ranch Rescue activities when he wrote his letter, but about an organized criminal enterprise.

The county's chief deputy sheriff, Guadalupe Rodriguez, said to Dougherty that he believed the armed men were foreign nationals but not just ordinary drug smugglers.

(That is the)......   same county Sheriff who had just the week before had his letter published in the local paper, warning his county's Citizens of the danger of armed foreign paramilitary groups that have been operating in Jim Hogg County

----------------------------------------------

This entier LEO story STINKS.  A flimsy story on the part of the Sheriff about armed foreign nationals to begin with, then the NON-uS citizen, foreign national, CRIMINAL ALIEN that was released? The landowners representatives that were doing the LEO's job sit in jail on nearly half a million dollars bail? The criminal aliens are still poring over the border?  
Vicente Fox must be laughing his butt off.

Yea, sure, I'm gonna believe I'm reeeally safe with the Jim Hogg County sheriff on the job! Border Patrol too!

I am in the DFW area, why would I care what happens 400 miles away on the mexican border?
GUESS WHERE A LOT OF THOSE CRIMMINAL ALIENS WIND UP?

The attitude of the community may be one thing, I would like to know if the attitude of the RANCHERS in that area is somthing above bezerk-frothing-at-the-mouth. They are the major taxpayers/employers in the area and have the most to loose. If the "other side" of theis issue is allowed to win round 1, they (the LEO's, sheriff, dept. sheriff, border patrol and Texas rangers) will adopt the attitude that all trying to defend their property, lives and family will only be allowed to do so with the grudging permision of the said LEo's. That $uck$ a$$.

The ranchers can and still have the support of RR, even ON-SIGHT support just as before, plus even more of it... but they as the landowners are gonna HAVE to get in the game. They are gonna have to make noise at the Local, State and Federal level. Not just a few but all the ranchers on the border for continous stretchs of 50 to 100 miles. It can be done, and done easily.

It will be the ranchers forming their own Range Guard Association structure that is continus from fence to fence for the support elements of Ranch Rescue to beef up when that kind of assistance becomes necessary.

once again... this is the actual statement of the journalist Eric Boyt, not text but scanned direct from his notbook in his own handwriting.

Journalist Statement

I saved all seven pages.  I suggest that others save them also, so copies will always be available.

The ball of string begins to unwind!

"" Posted on 03/29/2003 3:43 AM CST by kattracks
WASHINGTON - An Iraqi terror team armed with millions of dollars tried to get smuggled into the U.S. through Mexico to Crawford, Tex. - the site of President Bush's ranch, a law enforcement source said yesterday. The alarming attempt to infiltrate the country occurred this month, the source said. ""

I wonder.... just where did they try to cross?

How did the local sheriff and BP employees vote a few years ago?

Were they equipped with "professional backpacks" and walking together in a military cadence?

Will the Texas Rangers arrest everyone known to have eaten at Dary Queen on the morning after the attempted border crossing?

WHAT DID THE SHERIFF KNOW AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT ?  < / idiotic >

This was on the news today in south Texas and this will be big. This happened in Raymondsville, Texas.

Apparently, illegals were going on foot through sugar cane fields and had spent the night there. This morning the owner started burning the fields as he does every year. By law he has to advertize that he is going to set the fields on fire and he did this. Five illegals were burned to death today. The reports stated that as many as 50 people came running out of the fields.

There will probably be a law suit.

Have you heard anymore on this story?

I found the story, from Mar. 24th, at a lot of news sites.
I did a search of "Raymondville" at http://news.google.com/.
Searching for incorrect spelling with "s" (RaymondSville) is why I couldn't find anything before now.

CNN International Story

Five immigrants die in sugar cane field fire

RAYMONDVILLE, Texas (AP) --Five illegal immigrants sleeping in a sugar cane field near the U.S.-Mexico border were killed Monday when a fire swept through, authorities said. One person was in critical condition.

The field was set on fire about 10:30 a.m. Monday as part of the harvesting process, Willacy County Sheriff Larry Spence said. The fields are burned every spring to clear away weeds and undergrowth so the cane stalks can be harvested.

Minutes after the field had been lit, a man ran out yelling that he was on fire and that there were five more people in the field, Spence said.

Three bodies were found burned. Autopsies will be ordered, but it appeared the men died of asphyxiation, said Justice of the Peace Sabas Garza.

A man and woman were taken by ambulance to a hospital, where they died. Spence said a sixth man was taken by medical helicopter to a burn center in Dallas; a hospital spokesman said the patient was in critical condition, but he had no further details.

Spence said it was believed the group was sleeping in the field when the fire was set. He said windy conditions may have caused the fire to burn faster than normal.

Authorities were checking on the identities of the group. Some of the victims had identification that burned up, but an intact ID showed one of the men was from Guatemala, sheriff's officials said. He said they were undocumented immigrants.

A pair of tennis shoes, scattered water bottles and a travel bag containing deodorant and toothpaste was all that remained at the scene of the fire Monday.

Normally, signs are posted around the perimeter of sugar cane fields warning of an upcoming burn. Spence said about a half hour before the burn, farmers are required to speak through a loudspeaker in English and Spanish, warning of the upcoming burn. The warnings were issued before Monday's burn, he said.

Raymondville is about 40 miles north of Brownsville, which is along the U.S.-Mexico border.

""Raymondville is about 40 miles north of Brownsville, which is along the U.S.-Mexico border.""

Humm... the action always seems to be about 40 to 50 miles north of the border.   I wonder how this theory holds up to Project XXI......?
