ABP to Launch New Initiative
"The New American Border Patrol"


Border Hawk III
Hurdles Overcome
Following five months of struggle to overcome major operational hurdles, American Border Patrol, the only non-profit corporation working for Americans on the border, is preparing to launch a major new initiative in the next ten days. According to its president, Glenn Spencer, after being forced out of its headquarters in October, ABP faced even more man-made obstacles as it tried to move its operations to the border. "By the end of this week we will finally be working out of our new border headquarters," Spencer said. He also said ABP would be flying a new version of its Border Hawk UAV.
