An All Too Common Occurrence
A Border Operations Report from Texas - April 20, 2007
On Tuesday, April 17th, a routine event took place on the border. The victim, statistics show, was young, female, and of Latin American descent. We do not know her name and never will. She suffered, most likely, in silence. If she is still alive, she will suffer for the rest of her life. Evidence of her humiliation and subjugation was left at the scene for all to see - her underclothes hanging from the branch of the tree under which the detestable crime was committed. "Rape Trees" are a visible reminder of the dangers of our unsecured borders. [Read More]

The scouts are holding positions above the valleys and calling out to the illegal's on how to avoid us which of course would work, if they only knew where all of "us" were. [Read More]

Update from the Arizona Lines: April 7, 2007
Never has it been so critical for our mission and operations. I know you have heard from our President, Border Patrol Officials in Washington, and the media that the numbers of crossers are down, and our borders are secure, BUT they are WRONG!

I have heard from so many people the inquiry - "How much of a commitment is required"? I always reply of the volunteer knowledge that I hold, " As little or as much as you desire."[Read More]
