Hello, All!

I am going to have to come back and view this later. The antibiotic I just started taking doesn't agree with my stomach.

I have a custody hearing for my daughter tomorrow, so if all y'all can say a little prayer for me...

I will check in again tonight if I feel a bit better.

Kate

Hi snugs, thanks for the dose today.

Might have seen on FOX news the two guys from Iraq
trying to cross illegally just east from our main border
crossing here in San Diego.
The main border crossing has 24 lanes with traffic backed
up for miles which is per usual.
We have the second largest Iraq population in the U.S.

The following was just posted. It is going to be
interesting here next month with the minutemen here and
these leftwing groups in their face.

Local groups to monitor civilian 'border patrol'
The San Diego Union-Tribune ^ | 6/30/05 |

SAN DIEGO – Four local legal groups announced plans Thursday to monitor the activities of civilian anti-illegal immigration groups expected to arrive in California, possibly in mid-July, for a symbolic patrolling of the U.S.-Mexico border.

The four groups plan to train legal observers to keep an eye on the border vigilantes – some of whom may be armed – as they come in contact with illegal immigrants.

Organizations calling themselves the Friends of the Border Patrol and the United States Border Patrol Auxiliary are expected to take to the border next month in citizen patrols similar to those of the Minutemen last April in Arizona.

The patrols are an outgrowth of the frustration felt by many Americans over what they see as unchecked waves of illegal immigration and a lack of political will in Washington to stop it.

The monitors will be on hand to observe, record and report the doings of the vigilantes, and to report any abuses such as assaults or unlawful arrests, said Lilia Velasquez, a lawyer with the Association of Immigration Law Attorneys.

Other groups supporting the monitors include the National Lawyers Guild of San Diego, the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association and the American Civil Liberties Union.

"When people take the law into their own hands, it jeopardizes our system of justice, it undermines the rule of law, and it also encourages other citizens to take the law into their own hands," Velasquez said.
"It can also create anti-immigrant hysteria, racism, racial profiling and hate crimes."

The announcement was made Thursday morning at a news conference at the Casa Familiar neighborhood center in San Ysidro, San Diego's southernmost neighborhood, which sits on the border with Mexico.

The monitors will be equipped with binoculars and video cameras, and also will be trained in both legal observation and what Velasquez described as "A policy of non-engagement and non-confrontation."

"We feel that the situation here in California is even more dangerous than in Arizona," Velasquez said, noting that the region's mountainous terrain, compared with Arizona's relatively flat desert spaces, could lead to sudden and potentially dangerous encounters between groups of illegal immigrants and vigilantes.

Volunteers with the Minuteman Project monitored illegal immigrant activity along a stretch of Arizona's border in April. Organizers called the program a success and said they planned to expand it to other states and parts of Canada.

The volunteers, some of whom were armed, did not detain border crossers they encountered but called the Border Patrol when they spotted suspected illegal immigrants. Organizers claimed those calls resulted in 335 arrests during the monthlong effort in Arizona.

Yes, it will be very interesting, thanks for posting that.

I didn't know that SD had the second largest Iraqui population in the US, that's interesting, too. Fremont, where I live, has the largest Afghani population outside of Afghanistan, at least I think we still do.

When did these people come to the US then? Was it as a result of recent conflict or has it been over many years?

Quite a lot if you consider the UK population was said to be just under 60 million in 2003

Further adding to the Iraq population here in San Diego,
many more after the first Gulf war in early 90s and more
thereafter. We have over 20,000 Iraq Chaldeans (Christians) and thousands of muslims.
also thousands of other Middle Eastraners.

The two muslims that flew into the Pentagon lived around
6 miles from where I am sitting.

Besides folks from the Middle East we pick up folks from
China, etc. at our border here.
Besides the tens of thousands of Mexicans, some belonging
to Marxist groups.
