PHXNews.com -- May 25, 2004[...]
Robin Hoover May '03 on MSNBC:
"The very first stations we put out there carried with them a requirement from the Department of the Interior that we actually have a public information program in Mexico detailing the exact location with maps to would be crossers so that they would know where to cross..." [a requirement?! can you believe this?]
Humane Borders collaborate with other local faith communities to provide humanitarian aid to migrants,[illegal aliens] and to work for changes in INS policies to the benefit of undocumented [illegal aliens] immigrants.
Not only have they installed at least 44 [Oct. '03] 30 gal. water stations with shelter, but they also provide food, and medical assistance. PLUS, they collect and transport shoes, socks and winter clothing to the border.
The funds for the water stations are provided through donations or by various organizations, INCLUDING Pima County, which contracts with Humane Borders to maintain the water stations at a cost of $50,000 a year.
Many of the whackos in Humane Borders are veterans of the Sanctuary Movement, including Rev. John Fife.
In 1986 Fife, the minister of Tucson's Southside Presbyterian Church, was among eight activists convicted on various alien-smuggling charges, stemming from an underground railroad the group operated for refugees from civil war-torn Central America.
Fife served five years' probation for his efforts. Today, the minister says a new assistance movement called Humane Borders is "just beginning to be organized, as Sanctuary was in the very beginning.
This is what the criminal Fife is still up to:
"Whether simply providing food and temporary shelter, or breaking the law by hiding and transporting [illegal] immigrants, "is up to each individual," Fife says.
"This is going to be a movement that says 'Help as you feel it's appropriate, given the situation.' In my experience, some people are willing to give transportation, and some are just willing to give a glass of water."
Some of the members admit to harboring them. They call them "pilgrims."
They also say that turning them over to BP is like leading lambs to slaughter.

Derechos Humanos works alongside Humane Borders.
Derechos Humanos, and co-chair Reconquista Isabel Garcia -
Isabel is on the 100+ member council created by Mexico's government to represent Mexican nationals living in the United States.
She is also a Tucson Public Defender of indigents.
She calls herself a "human [illegal alien] rights activist"
The above groups set up watches on the BP and the civilian border groups.
In 1995 a project/campaign was formed called "Migra Patrol," to monitor the U.S. Border Patrol.
They organize to empower border residents, document abuses, address discriminatory city and border policies and law enforcement abuses.
She holds weekly "Know Your Rights" Workshops These workshops serve to educate youth and community on human/civil rights.
· To document Law Enforcement abuse, and file reports
· To increase public awareness of abuses and violation of rights by making reports of abuse public
"Each person, with or without documents, has rights. Therefore if INS agents try to interrogate or detain you in any way, remember your rights:" [there are 7 of them] http://www.derechoshumanosaz.net/know_rights.htm
1) You have the right to refuse to answer questions, with the exception that you must give your name.
Refuse to answer questions.
Say nothing about your place of birth or the way in which you entered this country until you can consult with your lawyer.
The Importance of Remaining Silent:
Before deporting a person, INS MUST PROVE that that person is in the U.S. illegally.
Normally, the evidence comes from the answers that were given to the immigration official during interrogation.
If the person DOES NOT answer questions, then INS does not have the proof that they need to deport the individual.

[this is why illegals can file appeal after appeal before they ever get removed from our country, and then there are many ways to still stay - one common way is to be granted asylum. This is not common knowledge]
As a side note, Isabel is VERY good friends with Az. Congressmen Raul Grijalva [aka Reconquista, aka MEChA boy] and his wife.
Border Action Network [BAN] is just as racist and anti-American. But...another day.
You can do alot of research on these groups through www.americanPatrol.com
But be careful, American Patrol is listed as a hate group by the commies at Southern Poverty Law Center [SPLC].
The SPLC is the hate group. They hate the truth.
