How
To Report Illegal Aliens - Updated DHS Version!
With all this hoopla about homeland security,
why isn't there a "Terrorism Information and Prevention
System" that Americans can really use? Why not start reporting
illegal aliens and criminal alien residents? [Note: To refer
to this article in the future, look for the "Report Illegals"
button on the left side of American Patrol's home page]. |

Mexicans
carping over use of spike strips to stop invaders
A driver attempting to flee the California
Highway Patrol was to blame for a pickup crash that killed two
men and injured 20 suspected illegal immigrants, CHP officials
said Monday. --- Mexican Consul General Rudolfo Figueroa told
NBC 7/39 that the CHP should reconsider using spike strips to
halt high-speed chases in immigrant
smuggling cases. -- "It's not hard to calculate the consequences
of putting the spikes on the road to a car which is going 100
mph," Figueroa said. |

Peaceful
invaders
Mexicans, when caught while attempting
to jump the American border and, subsequently, deported back
to Mexico usually complain loudly about what they perceive as
an unwarranted hardship. They say that they are not hurting any
one, so the Border Patrol should not interfere with their peaceful
migration in search of a better life. I wonder, is it because
those who are repeating this mantra are so dumb that they don't
comprehend its fallacy, or they just think that Americans are
so dumb that they are going to buy it? |

Economy, Tighter Borders Don't Stem Immigrant Tide

Mexican frets 'war footing' may hurt folks who shouldn't be here
Mexico's top human-rights official says
he's concerned about the plight of the large undocumented immigrant
population in the United States at a time when war is looming.
-- "Many times immigration
is treated as a crime instead of as an economic phenomenon,"
Jose Luis Soberanes said on a visit to Southern California. "Then
today we have the problem that immigrants are also seen as potential
terrorists. With an imminent war, the climate is not very good
