Dear American citizen,
In response to your e-mail:
“I like to frequent the dessert
<sic> and explore. I am American of Hispanic
ancestry. So I’m sure I would be confronted by your
CHD volunteers if I were seen. Well, just to let you know
I myself carry a gun...so I hope your ‘Patriots’
and I never meet.”
If you are responding to recent news
reports, or you are someone who has been following our
We are a citizen neighborhood watch group.
In 13 months we have “assisted” Border Patrol in
locating 2,226 people who we know crossed the border illegally;
never have we harassed any U.S. citizens. In fact all 2,226
have been thoroughly interviewed by the proper authorities as
to how we treated them. There are no complaints as of
today and we have no intention of ever behaving in a way that
creates the need for a complaint. Tough and tenacious, yet
civilized and humane - that’s the American way.
You said, “I
like to frequent the dessert <sic> and explore.”
We invite you to come down and meet us and
experience a patrol up-close and personal. We have been
accompanied by hundreds of reporters and law enforcement
officials. As a reporter, I know that is the only honest way to
tell a story or to formulate a personal opinion. We have had
U.S. and Arizona State representatives out with us. They found
no problems. We have had County Sheriffs watch us. They could
find nothing illegal about our patrols. We have had the F.B.I.
on patrol with us. They told us we were well within the law.
Ninety-one people this past year were
obviously grateful for the water we provided them when we found
them lost without water; abandoned by ruthless smugglers. This
group of 91 included 23
You stated, “I
am American of Hispanic ancestry.”
I am a citizen of the United States of
French, Belgium, Scottish and American Indian (Sioux) ancestry;
it’s a pleasure to meet you my fellow American. Also, in
my family we have African bi-racial people, we have
Latin/Hispanic bi-ethnic people; we celebrate diversity in ways
most “conservatives” fear, and that most liberals
can’t understand because they think it’s all about
food, clothing or music preference; but we know the celebration
of diversity goes much deeper than consumerism.
You assumed,
“So I’m sure I would be confronted by your CHD
volunteers if I were seen.”
If you were seen walking alone in the
areas we patrol we would most likely call you in to Border
Patrol and ignore you. The thing that makes us suspicious is a
group of people walking through the bushes in the pitch dark of
night with no flashlights, on well known, heavily trafficked
trails that are used by people to illegally break into the
country. If we did run into you we would say hello and strike
up a conversation, just as we have done with the many ranchers,
game hunters and bird watchers who frequent the area. They have
never seemed to be fearful of our mostly senior age
You finished with what my buddies at the
F.B.I. tell me is dangerously close to a threat of bodily harm.
“Well, just to let you know I myself carry a
gun...so I hope your ‘Patriots’ and I never
meet.”
Now previously in this response I invited
you to go on a patrol with us. When you make such threatening
statements it makes me feel not so sure about your state of
mind, especially in relation to the privilege and
responsibility of carrying a weapon. You see, we carefully
screen our potential volunteers, for just that reason. We are a
group of responsible gun owners who take the responsibility
quite seriously. All volunteers have completed an Arizona (or
other state’s) concealed weapons permit training class;
most have also completed advanced training with former law
enforcement personnel and with former military personnel. We
have never, at any time, in any situation, had to pull a gun.
It has never been our intention to harm anyone - that’s
the American way. Remember this has nothing to do with
immigrants; this is about illegal activity - “rule of
law” - enter legally, and you are welcome with open arms.
If you are a criminal you are not welcome. If you are peddling
drugs you are not welcome. If I suspect you of breaking the law
it is my civic obligation to report you to the proper
authorities.
Call me to arrange a “ride
along” on a patrol – although, Mike, I’m
afraid we will have to ask you to leave your gun in a safe
place, especially if you don’t have a concealed carry
permit; we have to be careful who we allow on the border watch
patrols; we don’t need any unstable types messing things
up.
The ball is in your court Mike,
Chris Simcox
520-457-3008
P.S. I have included a photo of the
family we found breaking in illegally on Monday morning. As you
can see they don’t look too harassed or afraid; we
encouraged them to return, legally.

Action on the border has been minimal
compared to just two weeks ago. We are attempting to contact
O.J. Simpson so we can invite him to the border to help us stem
the flow of illegal activity - we’ll let him know that he
may just find the “real killer” coming across the
border illegally. At the same time, we have taken to heart our
advice to B.A.N. and Humane Borders; we have now added Bigfoot
and the Loch Ness Monster, Jimmy Hoffa and D.B. Cooper to our
“Be Aware” list of legendary “badguys”
right along side of “vigilantes”.
The big news from last week is the large
group, 57, of O.T.M.s (other than Mexicam) apprehended in Stump
Canyon last Friday. A CHD volunteer was allowed to photograph
the group and was told by Border Patrol agents that this was
definitely a strange group of intruders. Only seven in the
group were from Mexico. You can see from the photographs that
the group consisted of people from around the world including
confirmed natiobnals from Croatia, Egypt and Brazil.
Again, this proves without a doubt that we
have a serious national security issue right in our own
backyards. This was the kind of group that Secretary of
Homeland Defense Tom Ridge needed to see on his visit to the
area.
(Of course it would have been difficult
for him to see their identification cards from his helicopter
flying at 1,500 feet.)
The following is a response to an e-mail
sent to the Tumbleweed website. I sent this reply to the person
who wrote the e-mail - we have yet to recieve a response.
We hope you enjoy our attempt to fight
ignorance and rumor by inviting those who spew untruths and
outright lies by inviting the nay sayers to join us on a patrol
- most of them find some excuse as to why they can’t do
that.
We again reinforce to you, the
educated, to challenge the enemy by first reminding those who
play the race card that this is about “rule of Law”
and responsible immigration. We support legal immigration.
We are on a mission to educate U.S.
citizens about the damage created by illegal-immigration, crime
and drugs that flow across our border by the hour.
JIM COOPER AND SENATOR PETER RIOS - WE ARE
WAITING FOR YOU TO CALL AND SCHEDULE YOUR RIDE ALONG WITH
VOLUNTEERS OF CIVIL HOMELAND DEFENSE.
CALL US AT: 520-457-3008
