Hachita - Using a specially equipped surveillance aircraft, American Border Patrol spotted numerous armored vehicles lining New Mexico route 9 between the Minuteman headquarters in Hachita and the Mexican border. "The presence of the U.S. Army on the border in New Mexico is tribute to the Minutemen," said Glenn Spencer of American Patrol.

According to Minuteman Bob Wright, a bus load of soldiers stopped in front of their headquarters last evening, turned on the interior lights and each man saluted the Minutemen. Wright said the military units, many equipped with Strykers, are accompanied by Border Patrol.

Army helps with surveillance mission along border

COLUMBUS, N.M. - The U.S. Border Patrol is getting help from the U.S. Army to slow illegal immigration along New Mexico's southern border.

Armored vehicles from a reconnaissance squadron based in Fort Lewis, Wash., were stationed along a 20-mile stretch of N.M. 9 between Columbus and Playas on Thursday, watching for immigrants.

Some of the vehicles with the 1st Squadron, 14th Cavalry Regiment were equipped with mounted machine guns and long-range surveillance equipment. advertisement




Border Patrol spokesman Doug Mosier said the surveillance mission isn't unusual and was planned last year.

"These military resources provide more eyes and ears as force multipliers to help us with our mission," Mosier said.

The operation is the latest in a series of steps to tighten security between Deming and Lordsburg, the busiest route in New Mexico for illegal immigrants and smugglers. Other steps include the addition of more Border Patrol agents and the temporary assignment of state police officers to the Columbus area.

Members of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps have also been watching the Hatchita area this month.

"We're happy to see them," Minuteman spokesman Gary Cole said of the Army troops. "We hope they're here for a long time."

As members of the National Guard and active duty military units have done in the past, the troops provide surveillance of illegal immigrants for Border Patrol agents.

Lt. Andrew Kennedy considers the mission training for the troops. He added that it frees up Border Patrol assets.

Citing security and safety concerns, Mosier declined to disclose the number of troops involved and how long the mission would last.

The operation was arranged by Joint Task Force North, a Fort Bliss, Texas-based group that coordinates military homeland security support for law enforcement agencies.

My brother is a major in the Army stationed with the Minnesota National Guard. He is preparing 3400 reservists for duty in Iraq. I have told him for years that he should be on the border NOW. This is a start but it is too little and pretty soon will be too late!

Phoohie, I believe that like I believe booshie. Keep your clone bable to your self, the only one that believes this garbage is yourself Mr. Hosier (Intentional). You say a lie enough you will begin to believe it yourself.

What is next? Closing the border, and saying that they were planning it last year?

A squadron is only about 400 men .... nowhere near enough to secure the border.

This is like a band aid for a huge wound ... and people are falling for it.

Is there any more info on the ???
