I spoke to Chris Simcox, the leader of Civil Homeland Defense, on Thursday night. He thought this article was going to be a positive portrayal of the rescues that CHD performs in the desert. I told him not to get his hopes up. I was right. I'm going to try to get his reaction to this article and post it here.

There will never be any positive portrayal by the mainstream media.

Four people, one an infant, and just one bottle of water? The coroner would have had them by the next afternoon.

While there have been no official reports of mistreatment by the Arizona groups, there is a lawsuit pending against Ranch Rescue in Texas, filed in May by the Southern Poverty Law Center on behalf of six undocumented immigrants who say they were assaulted. Ranch Rescue officials deny the allegations. Ranch Rescue has a more militant background than the others, calling themselves "soldiers" defending private property.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is the Morris Dees front that can be best described as civil rights pimps. He has made a personal fortune by exploiting his experience in mail order and liberal guilt. He has suceeded in bankrupting the KKK, however, with a RICO like suit alleging conspiracy. In this new suit against Ranch Rescue he openly admits that the purpose of the litigation is to bankrupt Ranch Rescue.

Dees, of course, is the darling of the media. It is inconceivable that he would be described with the red neck cliches that have been used in this article against our citizens even though Dees himself speaks with a thick southern accent. If you keep an eye on these articles about anarchy on our southern border, you will see an allusion to the The Southern Poverty Law Center in virtually every one. I suspect that that Dees mail machine has been running hot lately and that is how this article came to be written.

Wayne Cornelius, director of the Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies at the University of California-San Diego, has called the border enforcement policy "the clearest . . . and most systematic violation of human rights occurring on U.S. soil today."

How did Professor Cornelius come to be consulted? Was he discovered by good old fashioned investigative reporting by Newsweek? I hardly think so. Either he is a academic flak for Dees or, more likely, he has some connection to the Ford Foundation which has an openly (but not very loudly) expressed objective to see entirely open borders. The Ford Foundation has literally billions and their pockets are so deep that they can set the terms of the national debate this early in the game. Look for some connection among Dees, Cornelius and Ford.

I spoke to Chris Simcox, the leader of Civil Homeland Defense, on Thursday night. He thought this article was going to be a positive portrayal of the rescues that CHD performs in the desert. I told him not to get his hopes up. I was right. I'm going to try to get his reaction to this article and post it here.

If my connect the dots guesses are correct, you were quite right to be skeptical about the treatment Homeland Defense would receive in this article.

Bay Fang, whoever he/she/it is seems unable to grasp the fact that the Civil Homeland Defense, American Border Patrol, and Ranch Rescue are the good guys.

The illegals are the enemy, so are people like Wayne Cornelius and organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center.

To those of you who use your time, talent and money at considerable personal risk to do what the Federal Government should do, but isn't. You folks are true patriots. Thank you for protecting your kinsmen and country and may God bless you for doing the right thing.

The description of thunder and lightning in the desert sounds like something Jayson Blair would have written - and would have thrilled Howell Raines. Even better if he had thrown in a field of cotton and cows munching on corn as high as an elephant's eye.

This time of year -- our monsoon season -- the lightning and thunder are stomp down awesome. God's own light show. The Apache's called it Huachuca, "place of thunder", becuse for a couple of months it's a constant.

Is this the same M. Dees, who according to divorce papers filed by his ex-wife brought a male lover into his hotel room and proceeded to have sex in front of her?

I seem to remember something about an underage female as well. Guess I should refresh my memory as I may be moving up a couple of notches on his hit list.

I have to tell you what happened today.

I was travelling home after visiting the hardware store and on the way home I saw what looked like a border intruder. He was entering a residential area and looked lost. He didn't fit the typical profile because a.)he wasn't wearing a hat, b.)he wasn't carrying a plastic bag, and c.) he wasn't too dirty. He was carrying a bottle of gatorade and a water bottle. I eyed him really closely and wasn't sure, so I thought I'd follow him at a distance to see what he'd do.

He took a turn further into the residential area and then I realized that he might end up walking right past the American Border Patrol Headquarters. I followed him until he hit the same road ABP is on and then I decided to talk to him to see what he was doing. I drove up to him, rolled down my window, and said, "You look lost. Do you live around here?" His answer was, "No speak Englais. No speak Englais." I said, "Thank you." and called Border Patrol on my cell phone.

I was still speaking to Border Patrol as I pulled into ABP's HQ and knocked on the front door. Glenn Spencer answered and I told him that he'd have a border intruder walking right in front of his headquarters in about 3 minutes.

He grabbed his shoes, cell phone, and video cameras and we headed out. Unfortunately, he couldn't find a charged vidcam battery or ready tape to record the intruder walking right past the HQ. We followed the intruder up the road and saw him turn onto another street. We followed him up that street and he turned into someone's driveway and headed for their house.

The house was behind a few trees but our view was not obstructed too badly. We waited in front of the house and observed his actions for a minute. Glenn expressed his doubts about the intruder when he noticed the wheelbarrow in the front yard and wondered if he was doing work at the house. The intruder stood around in the yard for a couple of minutes right by the house, then went to the front door. But, no one was home. He stood there trying to decide what to do and he cast a few nervous glances in our direction.

He then decided a course of action and walked to a location to the side of the house, putting a large pine tree between him and us. When he thought he was out of our view he ran like hell behind the house.

We turned around and zipped over one street and there he was walking down the street. We got Border Patrol on the cell phone again and told them that the intruder was moving in a different direction now and was about to run out of civilization and head towards the mountains.

The street we were on quickly became a dirt road, but we still followed about 50 feet behind the intruder hoping that the Border Patrol would show up. Noticing that we were not going to give up pursuit, the intruder turned 90 degrees and headed of into a Mesquite-dotted field, towards the mountains.

We tried the same thing and went to the next dirt road and circled back, but we could not locate him. He might have holed up under a Mesquite, deep in the field. Or he may have turned again and entered someone's back yard.

Border Patrol hadn't showed up and Glenn decided that we weren't going to get the intruder as my vehicle had no offroad capability and we'd lost the guy. We told Border Patrol his final location and heading. Glenn did get some video and photos and said he would post the story on his website later.

Posted by Marine Inspector on another thread...

****
Tucson Sector BP Apprehension 07/11/2003 to 07/18/2003

Ajo BPS - 536
Casa Grande BPS - 1,809
Douglas BPS - 1,958
Naco BPS - 3,103
Nogales BPS - 997
Sonoita BPS - 96
Tucson BPS - 1,041
Willcox BPS - 128

TOTALS = 9,668

In the previous week, the Tucson sector only apprehended 6,425. That's a big increase for 1 week.

Please note that these apprehension numbers are lower then the actual number apprehended. If the BP did not enter the apprehension into IDENT (system down or too many aliens), then it will not be recorded here and will be show in the final monthly statistical report, when it comes out.
****

That's a minimum 50% increas over last weak and 60% over the final figures for last year -- my analysis, not MI's. I'm betting it jumps to 100% or more when the non-IDENT figures are added in.

Last night my daughter came home from work and told me that about 8:00 the BP busted a big bunch hiding in Delio's parking lot. They have been seriously swamped since Wednesday.

That was the bunch that I called in to Border Patrol. They made it to Delio's before BP showed up. I sat there with my headlights on them as BP rounded them up.

You're doing just fine driving around yourself.

I'm nailed to the house tonight since one of my dogs tried to interrogate a scorpion. The vet says he'll be fine by morning, but he's flat miserable now. Luckily he's about 110 pounds and it was one of those big brown suckers with mild venom.

I spent all day under the freakin' house. The ducts for our swamp cooler were only duct-taped together and after 10 years the duct tape let go and the flex duct deteriorated. Had to replace some of it and secure it with steel clamps. The intruder chase was a welcome diversion. I was probably dirtier than he was. Maybe that's why he didn't look too dirty to me.

Hope the dog gets better.

Sounds like my 4th of July weekend. Had to rebuild the cooler itself.

They're not going to stop as long as we have a President who wants them here and talks about amnesty, who refuses to order real enforcement of immigration laws, and who won't stop the welfare state that is provided for them.

I'm writing in Tom Tancredo for President in 2004, and I hope millions of other disgusted Americans do the same. janetgreen from Mexifornia
