Illegal Immigration:
The Problem, The Protest, The Solution.
A Country
Without Borders
Ceases To Be A Country
The Problem
Estimates of illegal immigrants living in the United States:
• Up to 20,000,000 (Bear Stearns Report, January 2005)
• 10,000,000 to 12,000,000 (Federation for American Immigration
Reform, 2005)
• 11,000,000 (Pew Hispanic Research Center, 2005)
• 10,000,000 (Center for Immigration Studies, 2004)
• As many as 10,000 illegal aliens cross the 1,940-mile-long
border with Mexico each day and about 33 percent [more like only
10%] are caught (America Daily - Jan 27, 2003)
The Problem
Illegal immigration is a clear and present danger to the USA
Monetarily
Medically
Physically
And most importantly - There is a
Terrorist Threat from illegal aliens!
The Problem
Monetarily
• K-12 school expenditures for illegal aliens cost U.S. Taxpayers
$7.4 Billion a year (US Rep. Gary Miller)
• Illegal aliens consume $3.7 Billion annually in Medicare and
Medicaid benefits since 40% of illegal aliens are on U.S. Welfare
(Federation for American Immigration Reform)
• $1.6 billion is spent annually in prison costs to house, feed and
clothe illegal aliens who fill 32% of our federal and state prisons
(Fox News Channel – O’Reilly Factor)
• $10 billion dollars are sent back to Mexico annually by illegal
aliens (according to the Pew Hispanic Center), an amount which
now makes it Mexico’s 2nd largest industry
The Problem
Medically
• Leprosy, Hansen’s disease, was so rare in America that in 40
years only 900 people were afflicted. Suddenly, in the past three
years America has more than 7,000 cases of leprosy. Leprosy
now is endemic to northeastern states because illegal aliens and
other immigrants brought leprosy from India, Brazil, the
Caribbean, and Mexico (Thomson American Health Consultants;
2003)
• Tuberculosis was virtually absent in Virginia until in 2002,
when it spiked a 17% increase, but Prince William County, just
south of Washington, D.C., had a much larger rise of 188%.
(American Medical Association (JAMA) – June 2005)
The Problem
Physically
• Illegal aliens make up 32% of State & Federal Prison
populations (Fox News Channel – O’Reilly Factor - 2005)
• There are an estimated 240,000 illegal alien sexual
predators currently in the USA (Violent Crimes Institute - May
2006)
• Over 1,000,000 sexual crimes are estimated to have been
committed in the USA over the past seven years by illegal aliens
(Violent Crimes Institute - May 2006)
• 90% of all crime in Brooks County Texas is committed by
illegal aliens (Brooks County Sheriff’s Department – April 2006)
The Problem
Physically
• Twelve Americans are murdered every day by illegal aliens
which translates to 4,380 Americans murdered annually by
illegal aliens. That's 21,910 since Sept. 11, 2001. (Rep. Steve
King, R-Iowa)
• Thirteen Americans are killed by drunk illegal alien drivers
every day for another annual death toll of 4,745. That's 23,725
since Sept. 11, 2001. (Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa)
• Eight American children are victims of sexual abuse by
illegal aliens every day – a total of 2,920 annually. (Rep. Steve
King, R-Iowa)
The Problem
Physically
Numerous law enforcement officers have been beaten, stabbed
and shot by illegal aliens over the past few years
• Officer Rodney Johnson, 40, Houston, Texas
• Officer Brian Jackson, 28, Dallas, Texas
• Deputy Brandon "Brandy" Winfield, 29, of the Marion County, Ohio
• Detective Hugo Arango, 24, of the Doroville, Ga
• Deputy Saul Gallegos, 35, of the Chelan County, Wash.,
• Deputy Sheriff David March, 33, of the Los Angeles County
• Officer Tony Zeppetella, 27, of the Oceanside, Calif
• Officer Daniel Howard Golden, 27, Huntsville, Ala
And Dozens More…
The Problem
Terrorist Threat
• The rate of non-Mexican aliens (or OTMs) and special interest
aliens (or SIAs – aliens from so-called “countries of interest”)
apprehended on the northern and southern borders has
increased from 30,147 in 2003 to 44,614 in 2004. Congressman Tom Tancredo
• By June 30, 2004, the number of SIAs had swelled 42.5% to
6,022 from "Countries of Interest" such as those the State
Department considers sponsors of terrorism (Cuba, Iran,
Libya, North Korea, Sudan, Syria) and others where militant
Islam simmers (Afghanistan, Egypt, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan,
Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia,
Somalia, and Yemen). – Department of Homeland Security
The Problem
Terrorist Threat
During US Congressman John Culberson’s October 2005 visit to
Laredo, the Sheriffs gave him the following information:
• In the Jan/Feb of 2006 of the 120,000 illegals caught in the Laredo sector, 2,500
of them were from the Middle East!!!
• A large, but unknown, number of al Qaeda terrorists and Chinese nationals are
infiltrating our country virtually anywhere they choose from Brownsville to San
Diego.
• One al Qaeda terrorist was held for several weeks after being captured on our
border and is currently under FBI custody.
• A large number of Islamic individuals have moved into homes in Nuevo Laredo
and are being taught Spanish to assimilate into the local culture.
• Texas Border Sheriffs have found uniform patches from an elite group of
Islamic suicide bombers (Verified by Israeli intelligence)
The Protest
Texas Border Volunteers
The Protest
Texas Border Volunteers
• The original Texas Chapter of the Minuteman Civil Defense
Corp formed the Texas Border Volunteers in late 2006.
• The TBV Mission Statement: “In order to defend the USA
against the onslaught of illegals invading our borders,
the Texas Border Volunteers are dedicated to assist law
enforcement officials with securing the border, educate
the general public with regard to immigration issues
and influence legislation at the local, state and federal
levels.”
The Protest
Texas Border Volunteers
• The TBV has a goal of making a strong and productive
political statement for the US Government to truly secure
our borders
• The TBV has a comprehensive and strict Standard Operating
Procedure (SOP) that absolutely limits the actions of the
volunteers to only the observation of illegal activities and
reporting them to the proper authorities
• The TBV allows NO contact between volunteers and
illegal aliens with the exception of rendering humanitarian
aid, a situation which happens on a regular basis
The Protest
Falfurrias TX Operation
Falfurrias, Texas is
70 miles North of
the Mexican
border
The Protest
Falfurrias TX Operation
A major Border
Patrol (BP)
Check Point is 12
miles South of
Falfurrias which
is in the middle of
a major corridor
for illegal alien
smuggling
Illegal aliens get
dropped off by a
Coyote
(Transporter)
south of the BP
Check Point
picked up again
North of the BP
Check Point
The Protest
Falfurrias TX Operation
This number represents the
year to date apprehensions
of illegal aliens at this check
point only!!! Remember that
officially only 33% are
captured (realistically only
10%) so that means that
close over 1,000,000 aliens
have slipped past this BP
Check Point through the
privately owned ranches in
the area.
The Protest
Falfurrias TX Operation
Several hundred
volunteers participated
numerous Falfurrias
operations. All of
these American
patriots paid their own
way by providing their
own accommodations,
food, and equipment.
The Protest
Falfurrias TX Operation
• The TBV conducted a daily three stage process involving
tracking, laundry line, and surveillance operations
• Former military and law enforcement veterans ran the day to
day operations in a professional and consistent manner
• Safety of the volunteers was a primary concern to the TBV
supervisors
• No long guns, alcohol or bigoted behavior were allowed at
the operation
• All activities and incidents were comprehensively documented
The Protest
Falfurrias TX Operation
• Volunteers had background checks with the exception of
CHL holders since they have already had extensive background
verification.
• Volunteers were vetted (interviewed) thoroughly to prevent
the admission of any racists, hotheads or idiots to the TBV.
• Volunteers were trained by experienced MM with time in field.
• Volunteers were armed only if they are CHL holders and only
with handguns for the sole purpose of last resort self defense.
The Protest
Falfurrias TX Operation
Tracking Operations – We hit the known traveled trails early
and scout for recent tracks and professionals are able to
determine alien numbers, direction, timing, sex and size.
The Protest
Falfurrias TX Operation
Laundry Line – We eliminate signs and signals placed by
Coyotes to note drop-off and pick-up locations for illegal aliens
The Protest
Falfurrias TX Operation
Surveillance Operations – We plan our lines and posts
based on the gathered information from the tracking and
laundry line operations earlier in the day. We then stage and
deploy before sunset to begin our all night surveillance
operations to watch for illegal alien migration activity
The Protest
Falfurrias TX Operation
Protesters, anarchists and some hostile uninvited members of
the press showed up to whine at our base gate. But since we
were on private land with the owners permission and full
endorsement, we just called the Sheriff – problem solved…
The Protest
Falfurrias TX Operation
• In October 2005 over 700 illegals were spotted by TBV
and at least 250 were apprehended by Border Patrol
• A Coyote driving an Ford F-350 truck with the seats removed
was spotted smuggling over 20+ illegals and was monitored
by multiple TBV volunteers with BP in hot pursuit
• An illegal immigrant mother and three children were
spotted in distress and BP was called in to render aid and
rescue
The Protest
Falfurrias TX Operation
Numerous dead bodies were found from Coyotes abandoning
the weakest to die in the hot Texas desert.
The Solution
The Fence
West Bank Style Fence – At a cost from $1M to $3.7M a
mile across the roughly 2,000 mile Southern border we could
erect a barrier that would stop illegal immigration from the
South. On the high end, it would cost $7.4 Billion which is less
than we pay yearly in education and healthcare for illegals!
Israel has erected a similar impenetrable barrier on its West
Bank that has decrease terrorist bombings by 95%. We need
to do the same – NOW!
Man The Fence With Our Military
The Solution
The Fence
The Solution
The Fence
The Solution
Send Illegal Aliens Home
U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison’s Bill – In October
2005 the Texas Senator introduced a bill (SB-1823) that would
give state and local law enforcement the power to detain,
arrest and prosecute illegal immigrants. The bill would also
create a volunteer border marshal program.
Eliminate Sanctuary City Policies – Numerous US cities
(eg. Houston) have adopted a ‘sanctuary status’ for illegal
immigrants by not allowing law enforcement to ask about
citizenship status upon arrest due to political correctness.
This must stop!
The Solution
Practical Immigration
Come through the front door and sign the guestbook
Legal Immigrants Must Assimilate
The United States of America is a melting pot NOT a salad bowl
Legal immigrants must learn and speak English
Legal immigrants need to adapt to our customs and culture
Legal immigrants need to be independent of welfare
