Border Security

Today I went to a presentation by Dr. Mike and Linda Vickers. They are the founders of
Texas Border Volunteers, Inc. Click on this link to see their website.

Its quite an organization. They work with Law Enforcement people to help with the Texas border security. They are getting a lot of help from the state of Texas, but not so much from the Feds. Its a shame the Feds don't care because the problem is quite bad. Janet Napalitano went on national TV stating the border was completely "under control" the same month that 1500 people were apprehended crossing the Texas border illegally and of the 1500, almost 500 were OTMs. The term OTM is used by the Border Patrol to refer to "Other Than Mexican" border crossers. One out of three were from other foreign countries....I will let you guess which ones. Over 65 other countries are involved and most recently it is the countries around India. The capture rate is less than 10% so that means 15,000 of them came across the Texas border that month and of those, 5000 were OTMs.

Dr Vickers told us that when the feds get Chinese OTMs they hold them for 60 days and then release them. Why, you wonder? Because China wont take them back! So why are we wasting the taxpayers money to hold them for 60 days? Why don't we just release them immediately? There is no reason to hold them if we are going to let them go in 60 days. We might as well save the money of holding them for 60 days. Let them pay for their own lodging for that 60 days.

They say that it used to be that these people came over for jobs, but that is no longer the case. They are coming over for the Social Services that they cannot get at home. There are no jobs for them now. If there were jobs then our 9% unemployed would be taking them.

Linda told us that she no longer leaves the house without being armed and with her two large German Shepherd dogs, after they recently found a decaying human body within sight of the house and she was followed from the barn to the house by a foreign that didn't speak either English or Spanish.

For those of you in the Northern states, dont believe it when they say the border is under control. It isn't!!!

For those of you that live down here and would like to hear a presentation by this couple, I am planing a TEA Party event at which they will speak. Probably in late April. Let me know if you are interested in coming.
