Report from Patriot Point

Mountain MM

DONE !
EVERY THING is off of Patriot Point.
The brakes on the motor home were finally repaired today but bleeding and adjusting them will have to wait. We were running out of daylight and decided to get moving even though the brakes were only partially working. I could not hold the thing back when going down the hill from the Point so it was an E ticket ride and the trip here to the ranch was not something I care to repeat but it is done and we are set to start remodleing the motor home into our "MMM command unit".

I would like all of our members to know that it was a Campo MM that stepped up to the plate and made this happen. Howard [Ridgerunner] came to our aid on saturday morning and again on Sunday he worked on the mobile home while I finished hauling trash and moved the horse trailer. Without Howard and wildcard the move would still not be completed. Howard paid for parts out of his own pocket and never once asked for anything in return. We gave him some of our unwanted food supplies and a 20 dollar bill but I don't think that comes close to what he desrves so next time any of you go by his camp in the oaks please stop by and thank him for all his help.

Gadget Dan Finds An Illegal Alien's Cell Phone

The invasion of our Country by illegal aliens continues...night and day! The fence being built through La Gloria and Smith Canyon will help with securing those two canyons,but, still leaves most of the Bush Border wide open,and, the need for monitoring by Beeps and Border Watchers.

 
I just found one of the illegal alien's cell phones last  week in the field,some twelve miles North of the wide open Border. I
charged the dead battery, and, retrieved 23 names and 24 phone numbers for the Beeps Intel to investigate.

There was even a picture of the invader on the cell phone,with a picture showing off her brand new  pair of "Border Booties" on her feet!  How about that?
Lol. Ah yes, Gadget is picking up litter,but, it's good intel. litter sometimes.

Speaking of litter, it's time for me to get off the  computer and start picking up litter.  Litter, marking the Invader
trails leading from the Mexican Border to I-8, where they get their  ride to anywhere in the USA by traitorous American profiteers!  Later,
there's much field work to do.  Wake up America! ! Dan.  Serving  with campominutemen.com...doing for our Country what our Government
won't.

Report from G - Man - 671 apprehended this year

We have been busy around here my year to date is now 671.

The Border Patrol are responding quick to my calls and apprehending approximately 80% of the groups that are trying to get through. The hard work is paying off and it feels good. If you could just see what I have been able to see it would send chills down your spine.

These groups sneaking into our country in the middle of the night; they know it is illegal, you can tell by the way they move through the trails all crouched down and sneaky. Thank God for night vision.

Report From Viking - Border Lots of Activity At Campo

Godzilla is running. It and another 4x4 are parked next to Woody's camouflage RV. It was pretty busy on Saturday with the construction crews working on the fence and road from 141 East. I set up my IR gear right at the entrance of the Grove as the night before and again Saturday night. I had two or three groups come through near the honey holes and the culvert dips between the grassy knoll and the grove itself.


I spoke with a Border Patrol agent late Saturday night and he was trying to drive those groups back south. He wanted me to see if I could spot them with my NVG (night vision)and then call him. I didn't see them and packed up and moved to another location for the
night. It got down to 39 degrees at the grove.

This is a series of shots at the 141 sunshade and the border road leading up to it.

Report from Viking - Another Shoot Out At Mexico Prison- Tijuana

Received Via Email from Viking:

Well I just got a call about an hour or two ago and one of our sales reps is down at a customers that is right across the street from that prison and they have had another shootout today. She put the phone on speaker and I could hear the gunshots in the background.



They had all the parking lots closed off and they were detained there for at least an hour. I spoke to her again about 30 min ago and they are on their way back, safe but a little shaken up to be sure. I forwarded this to her on Tuesday and she knew exactly where it had happened.

TIJUANA – Authorities regained control of the state penitentiary and surrounding blocks Wednesday afternoon, three hours after rioting broke out again at the facility for the second time in three days.

Baja California's public safety director, Daniel de la Rosa Anaya, said that several people had been injured in the latest violence, but that there had been no deaths.

Speaking outside the prison, he said that guards had fired rubber bullets and pepper spray to quell the uprising.

Minutes earlier, an official with the Red Cross, Jesus Esquer, had said that at least 11 people, five police officers and six inmates, had been wounded, two by gunfire.

Report From Gadget Dan

Yesterday, while removing litter at East Willow Road. & I-8 (South side of I-8), I came across two day packs with hooded sweatshirts inside and made in Mexico Gatorade, along with another third sweatshirt outside day packs in the brush.

I took pictures. of the find (and viewed damage to the CalTrans fence) prior to bagging and disposing the day packs. I removed 55 pounds of litter from public lands for the day. So far for the past five days, I have averaged 50 pounds of litter removal each day(up from a normal 25 -30 pounds per day).

It never ends! Dan.

Two Stories on the Border Fence

Duncan Hunter Confirms San Diego Fence Project Not Impacted By Funding Shortfall

Completion of fence along U.S.—Mexico border hinges on Congress approving the transfer of $400 million in existing infrastructure and technology funding

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA) today commended the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) proposal to reprogram available border infrastructure and technology funding for the completion of physical fencing on the U.S.-Mexico border. Congressman Hunter also received confirmation from DHS that such action, if approved by Congressional Appropriations Committees, will not impede the fence construction project at “Smugglers Gulch” in San Diego, California.

First US-Mex fence: fewer migrants, more violence

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hPulqF-QQPIlqKM7g7tqYL4shHFgD935VJNG0

TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — There is a moment each evening, as the sun melts into the Pacific, when Colonia Libertad is at peace....

But that's not to say the sections of fence that have been built haven't been successful. The barriers, combined with high-tech security measures such as surveillance cameras and ground sensors, have made getting into the U.S. extremely difficult. And as security has increased in recent years, the number of people trying to cross has fallen dramatically.

The downside, residents on both sides say, is that the border has become a violent battleground, shattering a shared American and Mexican history that is blind to things such as fences and borders.
