I think it was 2005 +/-. First when I went to AZ. (Did it once before in 72, but, with a bunch of other, ‘like minded people’, I didn’t remember much of it)
Flew to Phoenix, a friend from Ajo picked me up, drove to Ajo. (Straight south of Phoenix, about 1 hour north of the border)
One day we went to Mexico, (Sonoita), to look around, and shop. Picked up, DRUGS, at the Drug stores. (( …cillens, ear med, etc. for Dogs!)) (My local vet had sold out, and the place had become, ‘City-fide’. so I could no longer just walk in and get something) In Mexico, you just walk in and get anything you want.
Went back across the border, the agent asked, ‘What was the porpoise of your visit”, We said: “Just went over to buy some DRUGS”. He said: “Have a nice day”.
On the tar road back, we saw a van ahead of us. My friend said: ‘Watch that van”. About 15 min into the drive, the break lights came on, van stopped, and in piled 20 people, who were hiding in the ditch, then the van sped away !!!!!
Couple of days later, I had arranged to borrow a friend of a friend’s Jeep. Wanted to just drive around in the desert. (Had all the stuff, extra water/gas, 2 spares, cell phone, topi maps, compass, etc) Left at 6AM, got back into town at 9PM. The town of Ajo, was FULL of Border Patrol, and Yellow School buses. I mean FULL. I asked my friend: “What happened today”. They said: “JUST, the weekly, ‘round up’, their will be 30 people in a 2 bedroom house, once a week the B.P. just rounds them up and hauls them back”
In 2009 I decided to drive down, to, ‘explore’. Went straight down, to TX then West to Tucson, then north at, ‘Why’, up to Ajo. Stopping where I wanted, being a tourist.
Just outside of Why, a temp sign on 86, said, ‘Border Patrol Ahead”. About another mile, another temp sign, ‘Border Patrol Ahead”. Another mile a temp sign said, “ Caution, ‘Border Patrol Ahead”. In about 1/2 mile, sure enough, their was a BIG tent set up over the road, and traffic was slowing. My turn, a young B.P. Agent, came up to my car. (Minn Plates), while a older one was standing behind him, watching. The young one, he said: ‘Where are you going”, I said Ajo. He said, are you a US citizen, (Of course, being WHITE, Blond hair, Blue eyes), I just, ‘had’ to slip into a, ‘Fargo’ accent. and said: “Yea, ya bet ca, ise from Min e SOT ta, gust benign a tour is t, here is my pas a port”. The older one did a belly laugh, and pointed down the road, and said, ‘GO”. While the young one stood their and looked befuddled.
Gee, If I was, ‘sneaking’, into the country, ya think enough, ‘warning’, was given?????????
Heck I remember a time in Hutchinson Minn. (Middle of the State of Minn), it was in the early 80’s. Went to a new, ‘big box store’, got their about 15 min ahead of opening. So I just waited in my car. In pulled, a Semi, Trailer, then seconds after it stopped, must have been 20 cars pulled around it. The driver got out, opened the rear doors, and Out POURED, Humans, and they all RAN, to the cars, got in, and the cars/vans/trucks, all sped off. It was all over in 2 min!
No One Cared!. They came to work the Pea pack, de tassel corn, work in the canning factories, etc. And, When the snow flew, they all went home.
Illegal Migration/Immigration, has been going on a LONG time.
Just that in the last 6 years, it has, EXPLODED. And NOW, the POTUS says: “Come here, you will get ANYTHING YOU WANT, FOR FREE, But, you must VOTE for ME, because I will Make it so you CAN vote” !!!!!!!!!
Now I am sure that the people on this site, who live in the South Border States, will have Manny, and BETTER, events to recount !
It’s just that being a very, ’naive’, person from the land of the frozen, it was all new to me. Just like my first time in, Huntsville TX. (Late 80’s). Although I had hear the terms, and, ’thought’ I understood them, I found out what, ‘Wrong side of the tracks’, and ’Tar paper shack’s’, REALLY meant.
Today, we are, JUST, not talking about the Mexican people, coming into this country. Looking for work. We are talking about 20 + % of them, Genuine Terrorists !!!!!!!!!
And NOW, they are coming across the NORTHERN Border, with much less risk than the Southern border, with the sole reason to cause harm & discord.
Put a frog, in a pan of hot water, it will JUMP out. Put a frog, in a pan of cold water, slowly heat it, it will die.
Did/Will, you vote in the Primary ? Will you VOTE in November ?
Is it, Hot or Cold, water ?
Do they, pay YOU ? Or do YOU, pay Them ?
