Rewarding criminals important to pandering Gray Davis in
spite of national security
7/27/03 -- Last night (07/26/03), I had the displeasure of seeing
Gray Davis being interviewed on Univision "news", stating
that the driver's licenses for illegals is a done deal, and he'll
sign it as soon as it hits his desk. This wouldn't be so troubling
if I'd seen the same coverage in my local paper, but apart from
the story regarding Davis's "support rally", no mention
of the above was made. On a side note, the "news" story
was promptly followed by a live interview of Gil Cedillo, who
was then heaped with praise for representing "the community",
which I believe is just another buzz-word meaning "illegal
aliens". Thanks.
Border
may get unmanned aerial vehicles
7/23/03 -- The Department of Defense is discussing with the Department
of Homeland Security the possibility of them unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) for border duty. The UAVs will most likely be
prototypes, as all operational units are deployed overseas.
Invasion Increasing along the Arizona Border
7/23/03 -- Last week the Naco, Arizona Border Patrol station apprehended 9,000 suspected illegal aliens, up from 6,000 the week before.
Border Patrol Vehicle Lost
Sierra Vista, Arizona - 7/15/03 -- A United States Border Patrol agent was reportedly out sightseeing a fire in an area closed to the public in his BP vehicle last evening near the San Pedro River in southern Cochise County, Arizona, when the vehicle caught fire and was destroyed. No injuries were reported.
Terrorist Travel Forecast: Smooth Sailing on Sundays
7/14/03 -- Terrorists have been alerted that the best time to cross illegally into the United States through Canada is Sunday. That is because the Department of Homeland Security has decided to save money by using customs officers to do immigration screening instead of immigration officers. Customs officers earn time and a half for working on Sunday, whereas immigration offices earn double time. The double time arrangement grew out of a 1931 agreement with the union that represents "legacy" immigration inspectors (the National Immigration and Naturalization Service Council AFL/CIO). It is called "The 31 Act." Customs officers do not have access or cannot use many of the database systems used by immigration officers such as the SEVIS, SEERS and IDENT systems. Word is that the United States is put in real jeopardy by this practice.
Border Patrol in Douglas, Arizona Overwhelmed
7/12/03 -- 1:15 pm -- A rancher east of Douglas reports that he encountered two small groups of suspected illegals this morning. He called the Border Patrol twice to come and fetch the intruders, and on both occasions the phone rang 20 to 30 times before being answered. The agent answering the phone said that a response to the place where the illegals were would be delayed because the office was being overwhelmed, presumably with similar calls for assistance from local citizens. UPDATE (2:50 pm) -- Persistent rancher called the Border Patrol 4 separate times this afternoon requesting the pick-up of 22 suspected illegals from his property. The phone rang 20-30 times each time before being answered. Once the report was taken, the Border Patrol showed up within 15 minutes at the ranch. The bottleneck seems to be in the local BP office. Is it possible that the BP is trying to discourage call-ins?
Follow up on Mexican Army invaders (Rumor Mill, July 9)
7/11/03 -- Facts are as follows: Agent spotted six intruders north of Rio Grand and began pursuit. Four ran back to the river and fled into Mexico. Two, armed with rifles and dressed in military fatigues, moved more slowly. The agent departed his vehicle, took cover, and yelled at the two intruders to drop their weapons. Two intruders threw their weapons into bushes. Assistance arrived and the two intruders were taken into custody. A search revealed that they had IDs showing they were regular Mexican Army. A check with the Mexican government confirmed this. The U.S. Attorney of the West Texas District refused to prosecute, so the Mexicans, together with their rifles, were turned over the the Mexican government. [Don't look for any coverage in the El Paso Times on this incident.]
Illegal immigration cheerleading RINO Cannon getting heat?
July 11, 2003 -- I just had a caller that called Chris Cannon's office twice. He was hung up on both times. Once he was called a racist. He asked the person on the phone, how many illegal aliens they wanted here and was told, as many as can get here. Is that sick or what? [Webmaster's Note: Relates to this feature... note link for Cannon's contact information]
Body found near Douglas
7/9/03 -- The Border Patrol found the body of what is believed to be an illegal alien on Roger Barnett's ranch near Douglas, Arizona today. Also see: Immigrant death toll hits 80 (Tucson Citizen)
BP Captures 2 Mexican Soldiers North of Border
7/9/03 -- The Border Patrol took two Mexican soldiers into custody today in South Texas north of the Rio Grande. Drugs may be involved. Watch for forthcoming story in the El Paso Times.
OTMs Released
July 9, 2003 -- Any Mexican caught by the Border Patrol entering the U.S. illegally in the Tucson Sector is deported back to Mexico. Anyone Other Than Mexicans (OTMs) caught by the Border Patrol is taken to Tucson and paraded before a judge who says, "there is no detention space, release him/her and order him/her to return for a hearing." The OTM is release and never shows up for the hearing. In other words, if you are a Guatemalan, Honduran, Brazilian, etc., you can enter the U.S. illegally without fear. If you are a Mexican, all you have to do is keep trying
Bush and Rove Hispandering for votes by selling America down the river
7/2/03 -- The Rumor Mill has learned that President Bush is using Homeland Defense Secretary Tom Ridge as a front man on amnesty. Amnesty will be disguised as a guest worker program. It will be "amnesty by stealth." Illegals would turn themselves in as a guest worker then have the opportunity to apply for citizenship. Bush is pandering for the Hispanic vote by selling out the country. Calls are needed to the White House to opposed guest worker/amnesty deal. Call (202) 456-1414 -- FAX -- (202) 456-2461 -- Comment Line -- (202) 456-1111.
Mexican who attacked Border Patrolman has long criminal history
6/26/03 -- The Mexican chief of police of Aqua Prieta (the Mexican town across the border from Douglas, Arizona) said that Ricardo Oliverez-Martinez, the illegal alien who was recently shot and killed by a Border Patrol Agent, had a history of theft. The police chief said that his family also had a history of criminal activity. Martinez and his brothers and sisters, were called "Pitufos," which means Smurfs in English, and had been arrested for charges ranging from alien smuggling to violent burglaries. [Jim Cooper, head of the Democratic Party in Cochise County, Arizona, recently honored the dead illegal alien who attacked the Border Patrolman.]
Suspected bias favoring illegals in L.A. County Court
6/23/03 -- An American Patrol supporter says that he believes the L.A. County Court in Pomona, Calif. (355 Mission Blvd.) is partial toward illegal aliens. He was in court today to resolve a speeding ticket which cost him nearly $400. While there, he observed about 2 dozen Hispanics who spoke no English. The majority of them were charged with driving without licenses and driving without insurance. The rest were charged with the same offenses, but in addition they were involved in accidents. The judge or commissioner was letting all of these people walk after paying fines of $35 to $50. The concerned American Patrol supporter (who is a South American immigrant) asked the clerk if any of the aforementioned were in the country illegally. The clerk replied that they were barred from asking the cited individuals. If anyone has any other information concerning bias of this nature in any court, please let us know.
Graduation Day in Van Nuys
6/19/03 -- Two hundred kids were graduated from a middle school in Van Nuys, California, today. Most were Mexican, with twelve whites and a smattering of Middle Easterners. The national anthem was sung by a Mexican singing group. Only the whites sang along.
Ignoring alleged major illegal alien smugglers?
6/13/03 -- Sierra Vista, Arizona -- The Border Patrol apprehended a woman driving a load vehicle near Sierra Vista. It was filled with illegal aliens. During an interrogation, the woman told the Border Patrol the name, address and phone number of the main smuggler, who lives in Phoenix. This guy runs the entire operation for Southern Arizona. According to reliable sources, the Border Patrol has no plans to follow-up on this lead.
Dealing with foreign invaders can be profitable
6/1/03 -- Everyone wants to make profits trafficking with drugs and smuggling human cargo operations.
Real Estate -- California -- Woodland Hills "Carnahan & Associates" has setting partnership with Mexican National Council de la Raza, Citigroup (Citibank and Banamex), and Mexican drugs cartels, planning and implementing smuggling drugs and human cargo operations into U.S., harboring, sheltering, and allocating undocumented immigrants Carnahan & Associates buildings and handymen jobs (plumbers, carpenters, cleaners, and as residential managers), firing U.S. citizens in those positions). Carnahan & Associates are perpetrating these unlawful activities after learning these undocumented immigrants (most of them Mexicans) has criminal and terrorist background at homeland (Mexico), abroad (other countries), and in the U.S. where they have multiple identities gotten through the infamous "Mexican consular card." (the Mexican illegal alien card).
The sequence of these unlawful operations are: (1) Mexican government through Mexican Council de la Raza and drugs cartels are implementing traffic of drugs and human cargo operations in U.S. border with Canada and Mexico.
(2) Once undocumented immigrants trespass and enter illegally into U.S. they are sheltering and harboring in Carnahan & Associates buildings, which rent is paid by Citigroup, previous approval of Mexican Council de la Raza.
(3) As Los Angeles Housing Department is not enforcing ordinances in occupancy standard limits, Carnahan & Associates is allowing multi-family occupancy or "family-pack occupancy" (over 10 people) in units of one bathroom, one bedroom, while evicting U.S. citizens living in couples in those units, using tactics such annually rent increases and lack of maintenance in those units, forcing them to move.
(4)Then, Carnahan & Associates allocated undocumented immigrants in handymen jobs (plumber, carpenters, cleaners, and even as residential managers despite their criminal background such Carlos Pacheco who on 09/15/95 was deported while working at Carnahan but returned illegally as manager).
These unlawful activities perpetrating by Carnahan & Associates could be verify inspecting multiple of its buildings managed, for instance the building located at 16214 Vanowen Street, Van Nuys, CA 91406, where "family pack" of undocumented immigrants are living in units #3 (Molina), #4 (Pacheco), #5, #6, #14, #15, #16, without annual rent increase, while U.S. citizens of units #7, #8, #19, #21 are being victimized with annual rent increases and lack of maintenance in their units, intimidating and forcing to move out, to get room to allocate more undocumented immigrants. The U.S. citizens tenants those units have filed complaints with Los Angeles Housing Department which is refusing to investigate properly their cases, presumably because it is part of corrupt ring setting by Carnahan & Associates.
Mr. President and U.S. government officials, besides demanding protection from the invader undocumented immigrants (criminals and terrorists), as defined in our Constitution-Article IV, section 4; we are also demanding an investigation in these criminal activities perpetrating by Carnahan & Associates and its setting partnership with National Council de la Raza and Citigroup (Citibank & Banamex). Also, we are calling for a BOYCOTT against Real Estate Carnahan & Associates, that is also betraying U.S. citizens, endangering our Home Security and personal lives.

Homeland Insecurity in Atlanta
5/27/03 -- The Richard B. Russell Federal Building in Atlanta
is admitting illegal aliens despite the fact that signs in the
front say a government-issued photo ID card is required. The
illegals are getting in through a service entrance with contractors
who are using them as "slave labor." Also, there are
food trucks parked right outside the basement entrance of the
building. No one is checking them for explosives or anything
else. According to reliable sources the Russell Building is terrorist
act waiting to happen.

Studies' professor Armando
Navarro is said to be organizing a protest at the headquarters
of American Border Patrol in Sierra Vista, Arizona. The protest

cheerleader.
Fake Social Security cards on the
menu?
May 21, 2003 -- Good morning. On North Miami Beach, according
to the locals, there exists one or more restaurants, who, for
a small fee (roughly $300), will produce a falsified SSN for
the ever-increasing number of illegals in the area. It is located
on/around 77th
Street and Collins Avenue. -- I have already submitted this
information to the FBI. -- Thank you for your time.
Sham
ID battle in the White House?
May 20, 2003 -- There is an ongoing high level battle in
the White House over matricula
consular cards [aka sham IDs]. Treasury is representing big
banks and is urging the president to issue an executive order
accepting them as valid ID to enter federal facilities. Law enforcement
is telling the president that this would be crazy.
Cherokee
County, Georgia Sheriff Peeved at American Patrol
May 12, 2003 -- American Patrol recently ran some comments
submitted anonymously to the "Rumor Mill" about the
possible misdeeds of a top law enforcement officer in Cherokee
Co. Georgia. Click
here to view the letter.
Is the new INS worse
than the old, useless INS?
May 2, 2003 -- Since coming under the control of DHS, all INS
Districts have been ordered to reduce the number of persons being
held in custody down to a certain level by June 1st. Each District
has been assigned a maximum number of "man days" and
were told not to exceed that number. Man Day are best described
as a bed space in a INS detention camp or local jail for someone
being held by the INS. In some States, the maximum number of
illegals aliens that can be held in custody will be less than
100!
In the past, if a district exceeded its assigned man day limited money was transferred or requested from other programs to cover the costs of housing large numbers of illegal aliens. Many districts will be forced to release Illegal aliens from custody to met their man day limits by June 1st. Some Districts will not be able to respond to smuggling loads, do work site enforcement operations, or remove illegal aliens after they have completed their criminal sentences. The INS will take into custody of those convicted of a felony only, all others "might" be processed, assign a immigration court date and released to the street without bond. Depending on the State, a felon can be someone who attempted to use a fake Social Security card to get a job. This person will be held in custody while a violent criminal alien, a person charged with DUI or abuse might be released to the street.
Many INS Special Agents see processing a illegal alien and releasing them to the street as a waste of time since 9 times out of 10 the people will not appear in court for their hearing or have a valid address where they can be found again. Many people in the INS have joked that they will find these people right after they locate the 330,000 that they aren't looking for now.
It is feared that local law enforcement will no longer contact
the INS because they will be tired of hearing that the INS can
not respond.
Big illegal immigration crackdown
rumored to be coming soon
4/28/03 -- According to reliable sources, the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) has concluded that the problem of
illegal immigration is much greater than just the terrorist threat.
Gangsters from around the world, including Mexico and Central
America, present a threat to the social fabric of the United
States, sources say. For these and other reasons,we can expect
to see a real crackdown at the border in the near future.
No
ID? No entry allowed
4/25/03 -- American Patrol has been told that a sign is now
being displayed at the Federal Bldg. in Atlanta saying that a
state or federal issued identification card is required to gain
entry. Apparently bogus
Mexican ID cards are unacceptable.
Officer
assasinated
4/23/03 - 7:36 AM PDT -- A Georgia policeman (either from
Metro Atlanta police or from a surrounding county agency) was
ambushed and assassinated yesterday. According to reliable sources,
Hispanic gangs (possibly Salvadorian) had threatened to kill

source said that over 100 more suspected illegals got away.
Cherokee
Co., Georgia sheriff Garrison refusing to fingerprint Hispanic
suspected border intruders (SBIs)
4/15/03 -- Word has it that Roger Garrison, Sheriff of Cherokee
County, Georgia, has refused to fingerprint Hispanics suspected
of being illegal aliens since the INS made their data available
through NCIC (National Crime Information Center). He is evidently
afraid that they will be detected as being illegals, then deported.
Base threatened due to failure to control illegals
4/8/03 -- The Sierra Vista police department stops many illegal
aliens. If they find the driver has no license, they impound
the vehicle, but release the illegals without calling the Border
Patrol. They will detain the driver if there is a want or warrant
on him, but they do not run the passengers through the National
Crime Information Center (NCIC). Some say that failure to control
illegal immigration around Fort Huachuca may cause the Army to
move the base to a more secure location. The City of Sierra Vista
would suffer greatly if the base had to be moved.
Who
is this guy?
4/7/03 -- The
man who called Glenn Spencer an asshole is Jim Cooper. He
lives in St. David, Arizona. Some say he is a communist. [Cooper
is apparently involved with groups who aid and abet invaders]
Out
to lunch?
4/7/03 -- At approximately 9:20 AM, Glenn Spencer spotted
3 suspected border intruders wearing backpacks walking toward
town on State Route 92 in front of the Sears store in Sierra
Vista, Arizona. He called the Border Patrol's station at Naco
to report the sighting and there was no answer.
Inoperative
Border patrol vehicles a major problem
4/5/03 -- Half the vehicles at the Naco, Arizona Border Patrol
station are currently inoperable due to their state of disrepair.
One reason for this is that unqualified Border Patrol agents
are repairing them. [Also
see this June 22, 2002 article about the same problem]
More
rumors surface concerning illegal alien-abetting Georgia sheriff
4/5/03 -- Word has it that Roger Garrison, Sheriff of Cherokee
Country, Georgia, owns a considerable amount of property that
is beyond his means for a person in his line of work.
AILA
said to be targeting senators
4/4/03 -- The American Immigration Lawyer's Association is
said to be targeting senators who oppose mass immigration, probably
to try to influence them in the other direction. One senator
is said to be from Georgia, the other from Indiana. [Readers
who have information on this situation, contact the Rumor Mill].
'Rumor
Mill' popular in Cherokee Co., Georgia... but not with the Sheriff
4/3/03 -- Radio stations in Cherokee County, Georgia, have
picked up on the Sheriff Garrison story in the Rumor Mill and
are running with it. An investigation may result. (We may have
to rename the Rumor Mill the Strong Rumor Mill).
Chicken processing plants in Gilmer County, Georgia, are laying
of hundreds of Hispanics whose Social Security numbers have been
questioned by the IRS.
Georgia sheriff is allegedly
a slumlord who rents to illegals
4/3/03 -- Yeah, Sheriff Garrison (see item directly below this
post) is a real piece of... well, he's a very interesting character.
He's a slum lord and rents his slum housing to illegal aliens.
Lots of Guats up in his area.
At the constant urging of Congressman Nathan Deal, Sheriff Garrison entered into a contract with the INS in which the Cherokee Sheriff's Dept. rec'd video teleconferencing equipment and funding from the Federal Gov't in exchange for their cooperation with reporting illegal aliens in their jail to the INS. Well, he really ran a scam on the INS (how hard is THAT? idiots). He got thousands of dollars worth of equipment then proceeded to use it for the county to have their local court via video. He still failed to do anything to report illegals to the INS after making the agreement. Some of the deputies have told us that the Sheriff has told them not to arrest illegals unless they really had to. Several months after the agreement was reached and the $$thousands of funding and equipment delivered, I laughed when I saw that there were only 3 INS cases open in Cherokee County, GA. That place is absolutely full of illegal criminals selling dope, shooting each other, breaking into stuff, etc...
Yep, Good Ol' Roger Garrison... The right man for Sheriff.

Georgia
sheriff fails to report wanted criminal alien
4/2/03 -- Roger Garrison, Sheriff of Cherokee Country, Georgia,
refuses to call the INS when it is discovered an arrestee is

offense). Garrision's telephone number is 770-345-3300.
Crack
BP team fails to catch suspected illegals
4/2/03 -- The Border Patrol sent their Special Response Team
Ft. Huachuca, Arizona to catch illegal aliens, but Major Ortega
sent them packing. Apparently he hadn't gotten the word. Later
the commanding officer ordered Major Ortega to allow them on.
Last night the team spotted 100 illegals on the base using their
night scopes but caught none of them.
Things
may be looking up on the border
3/31/03 -- A Border Patrol agent reported that management is
beginning to take more aggressive steps to apply technology to
improve their effectiveness. The agent attributed this to work
done by American Border Patrol, especially its appearance on
Tech TV.
Tancredo Attacked by Coffman
Posted 3/30/03 (Received 3/28/03) -- Re: This
article in the Rocky Mountain News -- Colorado State Treasurer
Mike Coffman (Republican), who regularly tries to discredit Congressman
Tom Tancredo, today is quoted in various Colorado newspapers
as saying he walked out of Tancredo's pro-American, pro-war rally
because, "I just didn't feel he [Tancredo] had the moral
authority to send other young people off to war when he was not
willing to go himself," Coffman said. This is yet another
of Coffman's sleazy attempts to unseat Tancredo so he, an open-borders
neo-Con RINO, can join Congress and destroy Tancredo's efforts
to restrict immigration. Citizens can call Coffman's office and
ask HIM if Americans who have never served in the military lack
the "moral authority" to have opinions, pro and against
the war, or other topics? Has Coffman heard of the First Amendment?
Constitutional Republic? Has Coffman told President Bush that
his lack of military service in combat means the President cannot
send our boys to war? Coffman's office number is (303) 866-2441.

Kolbe
and the illegal alien invasion via Arizona highways
3/29/03 -- According to knowledgeable sources, 500 to 1,000 illegal
aliens are transported into the U.S. daily via Arizona state
routes 80, 83 and 90. This is possible because Rep.
Kolbe sponsored legislation to close the Border Patrol
check points on these routes. When the check points were open,
the aliens had to go cross country, exposing themselves to detection
by ranchers and homeowners. Kolbe didn't want people to report
the aliens so he opened the highways.
Cagey
invaders outwitting authorities?
3/28/03 -- According to reliable sources, aliens are invading
the U.S. by scheduling their crossings at places and at times
when the Border Patrol is at its weakest. At present the favorite
time is 4 a.m. and at least one or two miles east and west of
Naco, Arizona. They add to their probability of success by sending
waves of people through in a sort of "Banzai" run.
The first groups tie up the existing Border Patrol resources
allowing subsequent waves to sail through untouched. According
to this source, the Border Patrol has been unable to change its
manning schedule fast enough to react to changing tactics by
the aliens.
3/27/03 -- Prior to the arrival of Homeland Border Czar Asa Hutchison to visit the Tucson Sector of the Border Patrol, officials "turned out on the street" approximatel y 35 illegal aliens from Guatemala. According to reliable sources, the Border Patrol officials did not want Hutchison to know about the illegal aliens.
3/27/03 -- As a result of a review of security practices at Fort Huachuca (see American Border Patrol report), the Border Patrol will be sending their Special Response Team to apprehend illegal aliens who have penetrated the perimeter of the fort. Agents will be stationed on the perimeter of the base as an additional measure to stop illegal aliens from entering. This is a change in a policy that had been implemented by an Army major, possibly by the name of Dan Ortega, that prohibited uniformed Border Patrol officers from operating on the base.
3/27/03 -- It has been reported that a Mexican police officer attempted to stop an SUV south of Agua Prieta (or might have been Naco, Sonora) on Wednesday. But when the group pulled over, they bailed out of the vehicle heavily armed and ran off. Fearing for his life, the officer did not give pursuit but called for military assistance, as the suspects "looked middle eastern." The Mexican Army was unable to apprehend the suspects.
3/24/03 -- Hi
Spent a weekend on Catalina Island, staying at a hotel in Avalon (Calif.)....Last time I will ever go there :(
There were more Mexicans (illegals) than you would see on any street corner in SoCal.
When I asked one of the business's about all the "hired help" and their immigration status, I was told to mind my own business.
Naturally, there is NO border patrol and the sheriff stationed there is probably told to look the other way.
I hope word of this gets out; Catalina Island's first source of income is tourism and if enough people stop going there, maybe the business's there will stop hiring them.
Good luck with the work you do!
3/24/03 -- Yes, thank God for the Douglas (Arizona) Police Department in their continuing investigation and detention of the possible terrorist suspects apprehended at the Gadsden Hotel. The Tucson Sector Chief, David Aguilar, has been adamant over the last three years -- while enjoying a long "tenure" in his current position -- regarding his assertions (brow beating) to this citizen in a public forum that "you know no terrorists have come through the Mexican Border!" I have told the Chief and the press that "No, I don't know that the terrorists are coming solely through Canada (!) and neither do our intelligence communities." I have stood my ground for over three years on this issue and the Chief just will not hear it. The Chief of the Douglas Police Department, Charlie Austin has done more to secure the Port of Entry than Aguilar. Thanks for us "little (local) people." Maybe Washington should be talking to the local agencies and people that live here on the border and get the facts (not the spin of Aguilar).
3/24/03 -- According to a source in southern Arizona, officers of the Douglas Police Department arrested one or more Iraqis at the Gadsden Hotel in Douglas last Thursday, March 20.
3/22/03 -- According to reliable sources, the arrest of the Ranch Rescue people in Texas was a set up. Sheriff Erasmo Alarcon has been working with the Mexican Consul to press charges against two of the twelve Ranch Rescue people. According to these sources, the entire episode was witnessed by a French newspaper reporter who will be filing a story sometime today debunking claims of pistol whipping. It has also been reported that Sheriff Alarcon initially denied insulin to one of the Ranch Rescue arrestees who suffers from diabetes. Mexican authorities are known to have lawyers on retainer who pressure law enforcement agencies to prosecute anyone who interferes with anyone who is illegally invading the United States. Additional Ranch Rescue associates are reported to be en route to Texas to support their friends. -- AP
3/22/03 -- According to reliable sources, members of the Civil Homeland Defense organization are known to have been drinking and firing their weapons near the U.S./Mexican border. Law enforcement is aware of these reports.
3/20/03 -- 6:55 PM PST -- Reliable sources have reported that the U.S. Border Patrol's Tucson Sector has been extended enormous resources to track the activities of American Border Patrol.
