On the Border - Connie's Perspective

We have built over two miles of fence and
have a good crew going this week. Also we are
providing security for both fence lines. We have
one wash that will require a double fence, one on top
of the other in order to cross on land on each side. The
weather has been harsh, we arose to 11.4 degrees yesterday
morning. By the time we were in the field it was around
20 degrees
We completed 3/8ths of a mile even with the cold temps.

The activity on the south side of the International Fence
picked up yesterday. We again saw Mexican military, we also saw a
drop off

of six young men with large back packs. They hid in a ravine
i
n Mexico and did not cross while we were there. It is a bit frustrating to
know what is going to happen and have no control on it.
Many loads of illegals were run to the San Pedro River yesterday
while we built fence. We only saw two border patrol agents the entire day. I suspect the holiday had
something to do with it.
They both
were traveling alongside of the vans with the possible illegal aliens.

There has been a ton of noise coming from Mexico regarding
the shooting at Paul Spur last week. The Mexican Foreign
Relations Secretariat condemned the shooting as an act of "disproportionate violence".
The only part of this that is disproportionate
is seven illegal aliens pitching rocks at one
border patrol agent. We need to speak out and protect our
agents from the long arm of the politically correct government
we are subject to at the moment. We need to let them know
the American people will not let them down. The moral with
the Border Patrol has to be at it's worst. How can they do their
job with one hand tied behind their back?

For those of you who live here in Arizona we have two
years of Gabrielle Gifford to put up with. She has spent
about three weeks in Washington and has already
to let us know that she is going for amnesty. She
that is what the congress wants. She has already forgotten
what the people of Arizona want. We passed several resolutions
directly related to tighter border security. She has a
from the people of Arizona to close the border, but she
better after spending some time with her fellow congressmen. Remember she is a card carrying
ACLU board member.

This week we have volunteers from New Mexico, Arizona
South Dakota, New York, Wisconsin, Idaho, California and
. Some plan to return and help us finish. They are the salt
of the earth and great patriots and I am thankful I have the
to meet them.

God bless you all,

Connie
