MEXICAN ARMY HAS VIOLATED OUR BORDER 253 TIMES

ALERT: OUR SOVEREIGNTY IS BEING NULLIFIED BY MEXICAN MILITARY
17—The number of times armed Mexican soldiers violated our porous borders in 2006.
29—The total number of times Mexican soldiers violated our porous borders in 2006.
253—That is the DOCUMENTED number of times Mexican soldiers and Mexican law enforcement personnel violated our porous borders in order to traffic drugs and weapons in and out of our country from 1996 to September 30, 2006.
1,000—The number of times U.S. Border Patrol agents in 2007 were attacked while attempting to secure our borders without the necessary resources from the U.S. federal government.
This week, the United States House of Representatives returns to work and it our mission to ensure that they restore the $3 Billion dollars in funding they stripped towards the construction of the border fence from the Homeland Security Department’s budget. It is the constitutional duty of our elected officials to protect our national security and sovereignty of this nation, and to ensure the safety of its legal citizens, rather than continue to tolerate lawlessness and disorder. Our country cannot sustain another great wave of economic, cultural and environmental exploitation by another 12 million people illegally entering under the cover of darkness—or even in the bright desert daylight.
What do these illegal entrants have to be worried about? NOTHING from those we have entrusted to govern!
Our Washington lawmakers don’t care about your family’s security and well-being. That’s why they left town for Christmas last month having stripped away the same money that President Bush promised to use for the construction of a 700-plus mile physical border fence! Thus far the American people have only seen roughly 20 miles of federal border fence constructed, while our Senators would prefer to reward the illegal behavior of these illegal entrants with offers of amnesty, tax-payer provided social services, and driver’s licenses.
The volunteers of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps have witnessed firsthand how our country is under attack by criminal thugs who conspire with the Mexican government to do us harm through their unbridled drug trafficking, sex trafficking and violence towards our citizens. Please ACT NOW so we can demand our President and Congress defend our country from these vicious attacks and border incursions by forcefully demanding the restoration of the $3 Billion dollars previously allocated for the physical border fence.

The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps insists that Congress, through an emergency spending bill, immediately fund and build the border fence that was promised in the 2006 Secure Fence Act. We will not wait for the 2009 battle budgets to commence later this year in hopes of securing the border in 2010 or beyond.
For years, we have been alerting the public to the chaos, violence, rapes and the foreign military-supported illegal border incursions that occur routinely at the U.S.-Mexican border. But it has taken years of work for the truth to become exposed and known to the American public. Still the U.S government continues to fail to build and fund the physical border fence, because they have not heard from you enough times. As every day goes by, there is more violence and there are more graphic examples of why we must fight to secure every border and coastline throughout the United States.
If our government had already built a physical border fence, we would not have to worry that our friends, family and neighbors would be at risk from violent attacks by the rapists, thugs, drug dealers, criminal syndicates and al-Qaeda terrorists who lurk among the 12 million or more unidentified illegal aliens already living throughout America—including in your local community. We would not have to worry about statistics and government documents that detail the invasions from the Mexican Army that continue to go unpunished, and without any plan to stop them.
Over 2,000 illegal entrants violate our sovereign borders on a daily basis, and if you live anywhere near these cities, you may have already seen them…..
Brownsville, San Diego, El Centro, Yuma, Tucson, El Paso, Laredo and McAllen….

For years, the U.S. Border Patrol has been defending our country, without the resources they need to do their job, trying to protect us from those who viciously prey on our country through its open borders. The documented proof of just how dangerous a job it can be to keep our country safe continues to increase daily and yet our government still does nothing.
We Minutemen must start 2008 demanding that our government restore the money for the border fence construction and put the National Guard back on our frontline—the Southern border with Mexico—AND WE MUST CONTINUE OUR ADVOCACY UNTIL THE BORDER FENCE IT BUILT AND OUR NATIONAL SECURITY IS FIRMLY ESTABLISHED!
Make no mistake—we are under attack!
When the Mexican army escorts drug dealers across the border, they send assailants to distract and imperil our U.S. Border Patrol agents by hailing rocks, bottles, bricks and sometimes bullets, so their friends in the gangs and international drug cartels can transport their narcotics and underage girls and boys for sex trafficking into our country. While “the assailants try to distract the agents long enough to let people dash in the United States,” our border agents have become the recipients of multiple broken bones and other medical traumas which they must bravely endure, and for which we the taxpayer must foot the bill.
Here are details from government documents that describe this clear and present violation of our national sovereignty:
MEXICAN MILITARY ENCOUNTER (ARMED/INTENTIONAL) EL PASO – FORT HANCOCK STATION – At 2 P.M. on January 3, 2006, [Troopers] attempted to apprehend three vehicles believed to be smuggling contraband on I-10… As the vehicles approached the border, [Troopers] stated that a Mexican Military Humvee armed with a .50 caliber weapon and several soldiers were seen assisting smugglers return to Mexico… Officers then noticed several armed subjects dressed in fatigue type clothing unload the contraband into the Humvee. These subjects set fire to the stalled vehicle before leaving the area…
MEXICAN POLICE INCURSION (ARMED/INTENTIONAL) TUCSON NOGALES STATION – On June 2, 2006, a Border Patrol Agent assigned to the Nogales, Arizona station encountered two Mexican Police Officers that had illegally entered into the U.S. one mile west of the Mariposa Port of Entry… the Mexican Police Officers ran back into Mexico when ordered [by Border Patrol] to remain for questioning.
MEXICAN MILITARY INCURSION (ARMED/INTENTIONAL) EL CENTRO SECTOR – CALEXICO STATION – On September 16, 2006, a Border Patrol Agent assigned to the Calexico, California Station observed an individual in an olive drab uniform with a possible Mexican flag on the shoulder approximately 1230 yards north of the International Border near the Calexico POE. The individual appeared to be carrying a sidearm and was running southbound to Mexico through the vehicle lanes of the Calexico POE.

Just a few months ago, we learned that our porous Southern border served as the gateway for “60 Afghan and Iraqi terrorists [who] were smuggled into the U.S. through underground tunnels with high-powered weapons to attack an Arizona Army base.” How many more stories regarding the dangers of an open border do we need to hear about before our Washington lawmakers understand that the citizens of this country will not tolerate another 9/11 style attack?
As you know, our country is generally led by weak-kneed politicians whose public policies will shift with the trends of polling numbers and elite media preferences. THEY SOMETIMES TALK THE TALK, BUT THEY RARELY WILL WALK THE WALK!
Their lack of action demonstrates that our brave men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol may never get the support they need to keep our families safe—unless we make our voices heard—loud and often. While we would rather just focus on our daily activities in our local communities, we cannot afford to become inattentive, over-confident or apathetic about our Minuteman mission.
You can count on the open borders lobby and the Mexican government to do all in their power to see that the National Guard is NEVER posted back on our border—they have vast influence in Washington and will use it to devastating effect—if we let them. That is why we must take action NOW and voice our outrage to the political elite who refuse to help our undermanned Border Patrol agents on the border.
In fact, representatives of the Mexican government are already telling us that we have NO RIGHT to defend ourselves from attacks incurred by THEIR citizens on our Border Patrol agents. The AP reported that in November 2007, “Mexico’s acting consul general in San Diego, Richard Pineda, has insisted that U.S. authorities stop firing onto Mexico soil.”
Why should U.S. citizens stop defending ourselves when the Mexican Army is helping drug dealers, criminal syndicates and terrorists invade our country? Our BP agents need support and backup. It has fallen upon the volunteers of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps to continue doing the job the government refuses to do for its citizens.

The U.S. Border Patrol has been logging the attacks against American law officers by Mexican citizens since 1990, and they’ve seen a 31% increase during just the last year. Unfortunately, when some agents recently defended themselves against attacks from Mexican thugs, a man throwing an object at an agent was shot and killed.
Fortunately, that U.S. Border Patrol agent was not punished for defending himself. However, I fear that the next attack may yield another unjust and unfortunate Ramos and Compean punishment for an agent whose sole crime will have been keeping your family and mine safe in our homes!
Or even worse, it is possible that the “border war” with Mexico will intensify, and bring pressure upon our weak-willed elected officials to cave into international opinion rather than tell the Calderon government that attacks against U.S. citizens and personnel will not go unanswered. Our President needs to tell al-Qaeda coming at us through Mexico what he told al-Qaeda in September 2001: you WILL PAY for moving against America!
IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO TELL WASHINGTON THAT THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR NOT SECURING OUR POROUS BORDERS NOW!
The Minuteman Border Fences being built by the Minutemen Movement have been a driving force compelling the federal government to finally act to construct some fence barriers, and the ranchers along the border in Arizona say it well: “The government wasn’t doing anything until the Minutemen showed up.” Minutemen must continue to keep the pressure on and ensure that these first government spans are not just for show, and make the federal government actually “BUILD IT”—talk is cheap, and virtual fence is not an actual fence.
Minutemen volunteers have warned U.S. citizens that our national security, public safety, our prosperity and very sovereignty are imperiled—that our country is being invaded by terrorists, lawbreakers and alien criminals while the politicians we’ve elected, fail to protect us. We therefore call upon every citizen to pressure all Washington lawmakers to heed the warning of these vicious physical attacks on our first line of defense, the brave men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol. Washington lawmakers need to respect the will of law-abiding Americans over the agenda of the open borders lobby and beyond their own personal political ambitions—and secure our borders NOW.
Stand up against the left, and against quisling sell-out political agendas, and help the Minutemen get the job done. Get the National Guard back on the line! Help us Build the Fence NOW. Show the world that the America we love does not care for empty words. We care for action!

We also need you to take three actions for your personal safety and our nation’s security—in the face of opposition from an alliance of liberals in the Congress, Mexico, LaRaza and the rest of the open borders lobby:
1) Continue to Build Fence Models on the Entire Southern Border!
Our Fence, featured in National Geographic magazine, is the best and most affordable and effective model in the nation.
Say “YES” to BUILD THE FENCE!” THE CHOICE IS UP TO YOU.
2) Complete the Minuteman Border Fence at the Hodges Ranch!
Our fence construction is completely supported by private donations. The Minutemen are a volunteer organization and will only build fence sections as donations are available.
Say “YES” to BUILD THE FENCE!” THE CHOICE IS UP TO YOU.
3) Help the Minutemen Keep the Pressure on—the Feds WERE building some limited fence spans, but Pelosi and the Democrats have JUST STRIPPED already approved Fence funding from the Federal Budget!
The Feds have pulled appropriations for building real barrier fence, and are wasting millions of dollars on failed “virtual” fence technology allocations, stalling and delaying construction of “ACTUAL” barrier fence—because there is NO POLITICAL WILL IN WASHINGTON TO SECURE OUR BORDERS! DON’T FALL FOR THEIR PUBLIC RELATIONS “CHARM OFFENSIVE”—WE NEED TO RESTORE FUNDING, AND KEEP BUILDING! We MUST KEEP THE PRESSURE ON THEM to SUSTAIN FUNDING AND CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES in order to get them and keep them building ACTUAL FENCE!
Say “YES” to BUILD THE FENCE!” THE CHOICE IS UP TO YOU.
Donate NOW so we can PRESSURE Washington TO RESTORE the funding for the Border Fence!

Finish the Hodges Minuteman Border Fence Now!
There is hope on the horizon to demonstrate to the nation and the Feds WHAT WORKS, but it will take the same stalwart dedication you have already shown. With your support we will be able to construct a barrier that will set the Fence standard for the Feds of ACTUAL, affordable impenetrability—thwarting the attempts of illegal aliens to invade this country.
It will cost about $400,000 to finish the Hodges Ranch span and install full security FOMGuard technology in the ground at $250 per foot of fence.
I know it’s a lot of money. But we cannot secure America on the cheap. And this is vastly less expensive and vastly more effective than what the federal government is paying for what little physical fencing they are actually getting into the ground.
Say “YES” to BUILD THE FENCE!” THE CHOICE IS UP TO YOU.
We are asking everyone who has already generously sacrificed to immediately send a $50 Donation Today. Doing so would complete our current project in Bisbee, AZ, and greatly empower our allies in Congress who want to show Washington a working model of ACTUAL, affordable FENCE!

America needs a FENCE! IF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FAILS IN ITS CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY, WE THE CITIZENS MUST CONTINUE TO ACT. We have a monumental challenge ahead to raise $55 million for the whole southern border if necessary, and BUILD IT NOW. Nothing the federal government has undertaken or proposed will do the job properly, even if they actually followed through on their false promises. We urgently need your help for this citizen effort to succeed. With your contribution TODAY, MCDC can make America more secure by continuing to empower citizen volunteers in their active support of the Minuteman Border Fence. Help us complete the Hodges Ranch span. We CAN show the federal government what border security IS, and how IT CAN BE DONE! The Feds are ONLY building fence at all, and pretending to build fence, because the MINUTEMEN are building fence. We must keep the pressure on them, and keep the truth of this effort in front of the American people!
Be sure to send this to EVERYONE you know who wants to help STOP illegal aliens at the border! Thank you!
Donate NOW so we can PRESSURE Washington TO RESTORE the fence funding immediately through an emergency spending bill.

Within the next year, thousands of more thugs, terrorists and international drug cartel “soldiers” will harm our citizens unless we put the National Guard back on our Southern border.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF OUR LAWMAKERS TO KEEP THEIR OATH OF OFFICE, PROTECT AND DEFEND AMERICA FROM ALL ENEMIES!
Your support can make the difference by helping us to do the job our government refuses to do! Thank you.
For the Security of America,
Carmen Mercer, Vice President
Minuteman Civil Defense Corps
Director, Minuteman Border Fence
P.S. HELP US STOP the terrorists from invading our country through its porous borders. Donate NOW so we can force Congress to restore the funding and resume immediate construction of a physical border fence.
