And so they’re scared. Scared as we should all be, if the truth be known. The truth would have to be TOLD first, of course, and as usual the MSM is missing a great story.  What is coming? Long lines at the “medical collective?”

Yeah, that, but now that the administration has proven it can make us eat a law that nobody wants, they’re going to pull another dead rabbit out of the hat, and even the people who haven’t been paying attention feel it coming.

Amnesty.

Not for people who’ve sent angry emails to their congressman.

For illegal immigrants.

It’s already started. Obama needs to replace the millions of voters who are angry at the way the Health Bill was passed. The quickest way is an amnesty program that would make an estimated 35 million illegal immigrants instant democrat voters.

For the regular U.S. citizen who lives on or near the Southern Border with Mexico, this is not just the fodder for Sunday morning news shows and talk radio. This is something they live with. Chuckie Schumer says 15,000 people cross the border illegally every day. That number is only going to increase as the possibility of a new Amnesty grows brighter – every time the Obama Administration announces it is abandoning the “virtual fence” and cutting funding for Border Patrol and INS operations, or Los Angeles immigrant rights’ groups file lawsuits forcing requests that police “ease up” on nationality checks on arrested suspects, the message is clear:

“Welcome.”

Well, the White House and the Democratic Party may be ready to roll over on the sovereignty of our country, but some regular, law abiding Americans aren’t. Every year they’ve see less help from the U.S. Government and less public will to fight the problem. So they’ve taken it upon themselves.

Sixty-five miles East of San Diego California, situated on an active smuggling route just two miles from the Mexican Border, is a facility known as “Camp Vigilance.” Originally founded by the Minutemen political action group as a rallying point for constitutionalists, this property is now also home to the BPAUX – Border Patrol Auxiliary – an armed, non-political, all volunteer “force multiplier” consisting of anyone willing to sign on, adhere to state and federal law and the group’s operational rules, and do their time in the rocky hills on our side of the line.

Most BPAUX members are California residents, some are ex-residents who have fled to adjoining “free states” like Nevada and Arizona, and others come from as far away as Utah. They all have the same mission: try to stem the flow of illegal immigrants through our porous borderline. The U.S. Border Patrol and Customs can’t be everywhere.

BPAUX run patrols day and night, detaining illegal border crossers and holding them until the “real” Border Patrol can be come in and round them up. Auxiliary officers watch the twenty-mile stretch of Border fence using thermal and night vision optics that are, like their uniforms and sidearms, personally paid for.

They don’t shoot illegal immigrants. They do not want members who even consider such action. It’s Camp Vigilance, not Camp “Violence.” And they couldn’t shoot, even if they were attacked, because the politicians in San Diego County have made these foreign lawbreakers as protected as the California condor. It is against the law to take action against illegals even if they are on your property or in your home.

They go to the border armed because, contrary to major media reports, the people crossing our southern border are not all sweet, caring, impoverished families looking for work as landscapers or to nanny our children.

Twenty percent are convicted felons and criminals that have been deported and are coming back,” said Camp Vigilance Co-founder Carl Braun, “and when we detain a group that includes them, it’s scary. The INS comes in and sees the prison tattoos on some of these guys and they get all amped up and call in more officers. We have MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha, a heavily Central American criminal gang known for their assassinations and brutality) coming through here. Rapists. Drug runners.

The biggest problem they face really is the fading public interest in the Border story, created by misinformation and a lack of information in the media. More than one thousand illegal immigrants cross into the United States in and around the area patrolled by BPAUX. They cross, but don’t get far because the Auxiliary stops most of them.

But the Auxiliary is just a volunteer force. Their members come from all walks of life, all economic strata, men and women coming down on days off from work, vacation days. One grandmother was a member of her own AARP – “Armed And Really Pissed” – that her country is slowly being annexed and their government is allowing it to happen.

This is real political action. These men and women (from 18 years old up to WW II vets in their late eighties) are trying to uphold the rule of law. They have many elements of our progressive society working against them. They need your help. “Boots on the ground” and financial help.  Leasing the use of the Camp Vigilance base for $2,000 a month that they must raise from contributions and the money they charge volunteers with RVs to stay at the eight acre camp, with three meals a day cooked in the camp’s headquarters, a restored stagecoach station from 1856.

I urge you to make the trip and see the conditions at the border. The fence that stops. The holes illegals can walk through. Go down there and you will want to help.
