American Border Patrol
An overview report of the U.S./Mexico
border from Fabens, Texas to the Pacific Ocean will be released
by American Border
Patrol on December 1, 2007, according to Glenn Spencer, head
of ABP. The report will be in the form of two DVDs one
video and one data. The video DVD will include footage of aerial
border surveys. The data DVD will include detailed maps showing
the location of each type of fence and barrier, as well as Google
Earth files of aerial border photos. "This report should
settle the question of how much of each kind of border fencing
and barriers was in place as of mid-November, 2007," Spencer
said.

U.S.
must crackdown on invader havens
As New York backs down on driver's licenses
for illegal aliens,
San Francisco rises up, offering new help for illegals [criminals].
-- and we should respond as one nation. Why? Because the basic
principle of national responsibility for national problems -
reaffirmed by, among other events, the Civil War - must prevail. |
