Thread: Questions about the border

A lot of you have never seen the border and I live on the Ca./Baja border in a rural area so if you have any question ask away.

MD, I know there is lots going on all the time, but what is it that you personally have the hardest time dealing with living in the border zone?

I would have to say being constantly aware of whats going on around me and never knowing if I'm going to find people hiding on my place.
This is where the real mountain dog comes in handy.

If you could post some photos of the border near your area, particularly of any environmental damage caused by illegal aliens, that would be appreciated.

I am glad you have that wonderful mountain dog!!!! Is finding people hiding a daily thing for you?

I have communicated with MD a lot on this issue.

He could easily write a full-length book on the subject. It would be a very interesting and tragic read too.

MD's experience on this subject is invaluable around here.

Here's a link of a few pic's near me, they were taken by a member of the Campo minutemen.
I haven't taken any pic's of my place but I have found clothing, shoes, used kotex, feces, backpacks, radios, cans of food and a dead body in a motorhome.

No it varys greatly now for some reason but it used to be a freeway through here. One day when it was raining we had some friends drop by and they had been out to their car several time before they noticed four illegals sitting in my step sons car parked next to theirs.
The mountain dog has some training in sar so he is quick to let me know if people are around, the last two people he found were BP agents but he knows when they are here he gets to go on a search and being a border collie he loves to be on the go.

Maybe the fact that it varies NOW is a good sign, maybe we are slowing things down. Border collies are beautiful, I am glad he is such a good dog and keeps you alerted! STAY SAFE!

Well slowing down is a somewhat vague statement, since the holidays are over and the weather has cleared things have picked up and I have found a lot of tracks on my property where illegals have come through at night.
I often take the mountain dog out in the am and we search for tracks keeping tabs as to what's going on, you can learn a lot that way.
I was taught tracking by some BP friends of mine twenty years ago so I know the tricks they use.
