Palominas, Arizona -- Ground has been
broken on an 18-acre site near the Mexican border that will serve
as headquarters for American
Border Patrol, the non-profit Arizona organization. According
to ABP head Glenn Spencer, the new facility will be used to evaluate
new technologies for border enforcement. Named Camp Alan C. Nelson
after the former INS Commissioner who championed Proposition
187, Spencer said the new headquarters will not be used as
a launching pad for civilian border enforcement activities. "We
are not a vigilante group," he said, "but we will have
the capability of monitoring a large section of the border on
a 24/7 basis." Spencer said a well drilled on the site was
capable of producing 75 gallons per minute of excellent quality
water. |
