We received an official BP report today. Only 74 aliens arrested yesterday where normally there are hundreds. In the sector where normally 500 to 600 aliens cross daily there were 0 arrested.

I mentioned yesterday that the BP was getting friendlier. The Agents in the field are but we found out today that they have a supervisor on duty 24/7 specifically assigned to interrogate any illegal aliens that are spotted and reported by the Minutemen and arrested by the BP to determine if the Minutemen did, said or even gestured anything that they can charge the Minutemen with. Our government does not want the Minuteman project to succeed. The BP supervisors are following the party line like the good little sheep they are and they are afraid that if the Minutemen project succeeds it will show the world how ineffective the BP is under the direction of its present supervisors. Washington DC does not want us to succeed.

We still have news media running all over the place interviewing everyone and taking pictures of everything in sight. A TV crew from Russia showed up today. Crews from Japan and Australia have been here also.

News Flash: The US Government announced today a plan that will tighten all borders by 2008. Unfortunately Mexico announced a plan to have all their people here by 2007.

Unlike most days when I send the report verbatim as I receive it, I want to add a personal note. Remember when reading all the reports (both from Minutemen and news media articles) that any illegal aliens picked up by the Border Patrol will soon be released back into the community where they were apprehended. Yes, it's true--it's called the "catch and release" program.

The Border Patrol claims they check to see if the illegal aiien is a danger to the community, but how would they know? the illegal is likely offering a new name, and the BP doesn't fingerprint illegals when apprehended, so the BP has no way to know if they're truly criminals and/or terrorists.

So bear in mind that "catch and release" program when the government tries to tell you that they're apprehanding more illegals. By releasing them back into the community, the BP or ICE can catch the same ones tomorrow and keep their "apprehension" counts high--it's all a numbers game.

Wrote to our state and federal representatives today demanding they do something about the problems created by open borders, work toward getting the borders closed and demand they start enforcing the immigration laws.

We request that everyone write, email or phone their representative and demand they take action today or you’ll get some one in there who will do something about it. It is time we demand it not just ask for it. Remember our, and I emphasize our, representatives work for us not the other way around.

The enthusiasm to make this project succeed by the Minutemen is still very high. We have met some wonderful people here who see and understand the impact illegal aliens are having on our American way of life and are willing to step up to the plate and do their part to help stop it. These Minutemen are from every walk of life and ethic group with one thing in common and that is they are patriotic Americans.
