(Sierra Vista, AZ) Reports from unnamed informants within the U.S. Border Patrol describe an incident which occurred on July 2nd at a checkpoint 20 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border. Sources say that a number of illegals were spotted by Border Patrol agents moving through the desert in an apparent attempt to go around a permanent checkpoint located on State Route 90 just 12 miles north of Sierra Vista, Arizona. It was surmised by the agents that these illegals had been dropped off from a smugglers vehicle a few miles south of the checkpoint and were going to meet back up with the smuggler vehicle a few miles north after circumventing the checkpoint. From there, the illegals would have been driven to Interstate Highway 10 and taken to points unknown. This sort of activity is a common occurrence at this checkpoint.
The illegals were apprehended by the Border Patrol and taken into custody. It was determined that among the group was one Yemeni national and several Mexicans. When questioned, the Yemeni national said that he had been among a group of six Yemenis who had earlier crossed the border together. The report of the five additional Yemeni intruders caused the Border Patrol to dispatch a helicopter from Tucson (approximately 70 miles northwest) to the checkpoint. In addition, it is reported that U.S. Customs dispatched a helicopter to the area of the apprehension to conduct a search from the air. The Yemenis were not found and may still be at large. Sources say that the FBI was notified but that the level of FBI interest and/or involvement is not known at this time.
These same sources report that U.S. Border Patrol Agent in charge of the Tucson Sector, David Aguilar, has ordered his agents to keep quiet about this incident. Reportedly, Aguilar has issued several such gag orders recently demanding that Border Patrol agents keep quiet about happenings along the border. In June, Aguilar spoke at the annual convention of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) and told of the governments humanitarian responsibility to protect Mexican citizens who are illegally crossing into the United States (See Washington Times - June 27). As evidence of Aguilars confusion about the Border Patrols mission, he recently redeployed his agents away from the border itself and has instead deployed them into the larger desert areas to rescue illegals found to be in distress. It is also reported that Aguilar has ridiculously attempted to explain away the trails of footprints, garbage, and trail markings left by the hordes of illegals crossing through private, state, and federal lands as instead being evidence of the areas new popularity to hikers and campers because of the success of the Border Patrol at apprehending and stopping the illegals.
You're right - we need the military to protect the border as they were designed to do. And we need to get someone elected to represent the district, where this invasion is occuring, who will put the military on the border to stop this invasion. Jim Behnke needs all the help he can get - go to www.behnkeforcongress.com and see what you can do.
Who knows. I do know I won't loose any sleep over it.
And you do the same.
Still missing.
Either they have Wonder Woman's truth rope or this story is a hoax.
Semper Fi!
The lack of information on the apprehension form bothers me. It almost seems government is aiding these people in gaining entry. It is way past time to tighten our belts and put an end to this.
The policy of "unlimited immigration" (both illegal and legal) has gotten WAY out of hand. It is clearly a New World Order scheme for cheap labor and to erase American culture and national sovereignty. (There is an equivalent policy going on the Europe as well.) As an economic policy it is a Ponzi scheme that must collapse sooner or later. And it is a cultural and political DISASTER!!!!
And now the islamofascist movment for world domination is exploiting the "unlimited immigration" policy, both in America and in Europe. Not only are they getting terrorists into the US and Europe, but a much larger number of "immigrants", with the goal of increasing islam's political and economic power in both the US and in Europe.
Lybians have to sneak across our borders as illegals, but Saudis, "Bosnian" and "Kosovar" muslims are welcomed as legal immigrants and visitors. That included both the 9/11 highjackers, and others who run the islamic "charities" that funded them. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!
It is clearly a New World Order scheme for cheap labor and to erase American culture and national sovereignty.A scheme that will ultimately succeed so long as "conservatives" do not remove their children from the public schools (government indoctrination centers actually) en masses.
