Border Patrol supervisors
have been blasted during the past week for their antics
reported in the last issue of the Tumbleweed.
I have had many people
encourage me to file an official complaint, but I have decided
to give them one more chance to realize who they work for
–you and me.
From now on all volunteers in the field
will carry tape recorders and video recorders –they are
all now field correspondents for the Tumbleweed.
All volunteers will take the
name, rank and

we come into contact with. From now on all names and
photographs of B.P. agents who hassle American citizens will be
printed in my paper; official complaints will also be filed
with the United States Department of Justice. We have given the

supervisors every opportunity to act
responsibly. We do, and they need to accept our help until the
President does the right thing - puts the troops on the border
to assist Border Patrol with national security.
Last weekend’s cold wet
rain turned to a full - fledged late winter storm around most
of Cochise County, even dropping lots of snow above 4,500 feet
of elevation. After weeks of near 90-degree temps, it
rained four consecutive days, washing out all CHD patrols on
the border –the roads on the border were inaccessible
even to Border Patrol vehicles. CHD volunteers concentrated on
the lay-up areas near Tombstone and with weather as bad as we
experienced last weekend, our patrols turned to search and
rescue missions.
And rescue is exactly what
volunteers did over the weekend. CHD volunteers rescued a total
of 23 people, raising our life saving rescues to 111 since
beginning operations 16 months ago. The total number of assists
is now 2,841 and counting. Homeland security is as porous as
ever only because our federal government is weak. President
Bush, has the will to go door- to - door in Iraq and
Afghanistan, but does not have the will to secure the borders
of the homeland. ]
Mr. Bush, and now good
ol’ Senator McCain, expect our troops to go door- to
-door in Falusha to get the bad guys who don’t like being
occupied by a foreign enemy, but neither of them has the will
to stop the invasion of the United States of America. Our
fearless stuffed shirts say they advocate going door to door to
kill people yet they do not have the will peacefully to
go door - to - door to employers (not homes) to deport illegal
aliens from our country and fine the hell out of or arrest any
employer who has committed a class 5 felony by hiring illegal
aliens. Hey, you would think they would at least have the will
to enforce the law against employers who hire illegal aliens;
but then those employers donate tons of money to their
campaigns –it’s an election year and deals are in
the making again.
I digress. Back to CHD
activities. Friday, 8:40 a.m., a group of international
travelers from Mexico City were found waiting for their ride in
a wash along Moson Road. Someone had supplied them with dry
clothes, and bags of food from Food City in Sierra Vista. The
coyote, who had beautiful gold plated teeth, also had his wife
with him – I guess it was a family operation. Still two
hours away from their scheduled pick-up, the group waited
patiently until Border Patrol arrived. Then they all ran,
and it took three agents another hour to round them up so they
could be repatriated to their home country.
Saturday morning another CHD
patrol visited the area again. This time we found 8 young males
near a hypothermic state of desperation, hiding in a deep wash
in the Murray Springs area off Moson Road. All of the men were
soaked to the bone and were shaking uncontrollably in near
freezing temperatures. They had been traveling all night
through the cold rain and were glad to give up their journey.
We provided them water and Border Patrol brought blankets. We
assume the men are now safely back in Mexico warm, dry and with
a hearty meal in their bellies –they’ll be back
because President Bush condones illegal activity.
An Air Force noncommissioned officer from
Davis-Monthan Air Force Base was caught smuggling five illegal
immigrants into the United States on Tuesday. It seems the
41-year-old Air Force grunt was seen parked off Arivaca Road
around 11 a.m. A Border Patrol agent saw the vehicle sitting
off the road and investigated.
The underpaid public servant
was found to have five illegal immigrants, all from Mexico,
hiding inside his jeep. What is everybody so upset about
–it’s just a little free enterprise moonlighting.
