Welcome Billboards For Illegal Aliens Go Up In San Diego

One non-governmental organization (NGO) that assists illegal aliens when they cross the border is now putting up billboards welcoming them. There are reportedly three such signs in San Diego County and more are going up in other states. The name of the organization that is funding these billboards is the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker nonprofit organization. Such fanatical open-border NGOs often receive funding from the Government, as well as from, private donors, to assist those who cross the border to claim asylum. Many of them cross the border illegally but few of them are qualified to be granted asylum by a court. In my opinion, it is an enormous criminal fraud operation. For this reason, I call the mostly fraudulent asylum seekers “illegal aliens”. The vast majority will not qualify for asylum but will end up living illegally in the US.

Below is the billboard on the 1300 block of Palm Boulevard in Imperial Beach. This location is only a couple of miles from the border.

Pedro Rios is the director of a project that provides food and services for people, who are put across the primary border fence illegally by smugglers. It costs the illegals $8-10K to be allowed to cross the border fence. So, they are not exactly without means. They are trapped between the primary and secondary fences until the Border Patrol has time to transport them to be processed. Pedro’s refugees are paying smugglers about $10K to be able to cut in line ahead of those, who are waiting their turn and applying for asylum legally. However, even those who apply legally at the Border Crossing are largely not qualified and will be released to also end up living in the US illegally.

They are economic refugees, coming for better jobs and social benefits and often for other, criminal purposes as well. Economic need or fleeing crime are not lawful reasons for a court to grant asylum. They may work for the smugglers when they arrive in the US, distributing drugs, money laundering, etc. They do not have values that we should follow as Pedro Rios suggests we should. Pedro is just propagandizing for a political agenda that promotes illegal immigration and mass asylum fraud for the political and financial benefit of some segments of society.

See the interview of Pedro Rios in the following video.

Billboards asking people to welcome, respect migrants pop up across country

I believe what Pedro Rios and his workers are doing should be considered aiding and abetting illegal immigration which is a felony. He calls it an “humanitarian operation”. However, the people he is feeding and assisting in other ways would not starve if he did not not help them. They could always just return to Mexico, where there is plenty of food.

Most would not come illegally in the first place if they knew that Pedro and his ultra-progressive, open-borders fanatics were not there to aid and abet their efforts to evade immigration/asylum law and cross illegally into the US.

This encampment of illegals was a little to the west of the sewage treatment plant, west of San Ysidro, just off Monument Road. His tents are still there, but another “Border Report” article states that the encampment has moved to a place that is less visible to the public by orders from the Biden Administration. The reason that it was moved was not to stop the illegal crossing, but to hide this illegal activity from American citizens and voters!

Chaos At Trump Rally In Coachella

Chaos broke out at the Trump Rally in Coachella on October 12th in Coachella when thousands of people were stranded for hours due to a lack of buses. The mayor had said Trump was not welcome before the event that “he ain’t like us”. This helped create a hostile environment that probably contributed to the chaos. It created a dangerous situation for thousands of people. Many of them were elderly, handicapped, or just in poor physical condition. Some MSM outlets chortle that the problem was poor planning by the Trump campaign, but it seems more likely due to the intensely anti-Trump environment in California. More conservative outlets are ignoring what happened in Coachella.

‘Everybody had a problem’: Trump supporters left stranded after rally near Coachella

By searching for keywords “Trump Coachella buses”, you can find more articles posted about the problem.

You had to use a bus to get to the rally form one of their parking lots miles from the rally site. There were not enough buses. I waited in 103-degree heat for four hours for a bus to take me to the rally site. I estimate that There were about ten thousand people at the rally, which is a lot when it is so hot.

But 30 minutes after Trump started talking, people started leaving early because they were wiped out by the long wait in the hot sun to get in and wanted to catch an early bus back, but Security would not allow us to leave the grounds while Trump was still there.

A large crowd formed at the gates. We were packed packed together like sardines. Some angrily shouted “Let us out!! Let us out!!”. I was afraid a stampede could happen and people would be hurt. Then the people in the front pushed past security and the crowd swarmed into the pickup location. Many started climbing over the fences to get to a bus.

It was mass chaos. I waited in vain for a bus for four hours to take me back to my car. It looked like it was going to take hours more to get to the parking lot 5 miles away. They had not taken the security perimeter down hours after Trump had left. If you walked about a mile from the entrance you could be past the security perimeter and could call Uber, but the wait was long and charge on cell phones of many were running down.

Some called friends and relatives to pick them up. I heard one person call a friend an hour away to come and get her. After four hours waiting, I decided to start walking the 5 miles to my car. After I had walked about halfway, two sheriff’s deputies stopped and gave me a ride to my car, because they said it was a dangerous neighborhood.

I then drove to San Diego and got home about 3am, totally exhausted. The chaos could have been caused by poor planning. But with the hostility there, as promoted by the mayor, I suspect a lot of bus drivers refused to transport people to and from the rally and that’s what caused the chaos. Many of the bus drivers in the area would certainly be against Trump and probably some of the drivers were probably illegal aliens, too, since illegals can obtain a commercial drivers License in California.

History

In May of 2016, when Trump first came to California a mob tried to storm the conference hall where Trump was speaking. I thought something was bound to happen to disrupt his event in Coachella when he returned and something did happen. See the video from 2016 below.

In Coachella a mass counter protest was not possible, due to the heat and because the nearby streets were closed and there was no parking near the event. So creating a shortage of buses would be an effective way to disrupt the rally.

Border Patrol Bridge/Wall Over Tijuana River Near Completion

A bridge/wall across the Tijuana River is nearing completion, as recently reported in the “Border Report” website. Until now the place where the Tijuana River crosses the border has been completely open and large groups have often stormed the border on foot there. When finished this section of the border will no longer be easy for large crowds of pedestrians to cross. The bridge also makes it easy for the Border Patrol to cross the river and respond quickly to events.

This bridge may have been funded from the Trump appropriation for the Border Wall. A court decided that the remaining money could not be re-programmed and had to be used for Border Security. We can consider this a new section of the “Trump Wall”, whether funded with that money or not.

Floodgates will be added to the bottom of the bridge, which can be opened when it rains, but at other times kept closed to prevent illegal crossing.

Border Report Article

The Border Report has a leftist, open-borders bias but sometimes publishes useful and interesting information. The reporter interviewed a local NGO manager, Pedro Rios, who called the bridge a “boondoggle”. To see their full report, go to the link below.

Border Patrol bridge project over Tijuana River criticized as ‘boondoggle’

Pedro Rios is an open-boarders activist, who manages an aid station for illegal crossers, about 1.5 miles to the west of the new bridge right on the border. He is the director of the U.S./Mexico Border Program for the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker organization. So, he is not exactly an unbiased, neutral observer.

The Tijuana River has been polluting the American side with toxic waste and raw sewage for well over half a century. However Rios is more worried that this bridge could cause some of this toxic, polluted water to go back to Mexico for a short time where it was produced. This is his concern if the Border Patrolmen do not open the flood gates quickly enough.

They complain that this bridge will cost $200 million, but San Diego just received a grant of $400 million to expand the plant to treat the millions of gallons of toxic waste flowing daily from Mexico into the US. Methinks it is not the wasted money that concerns them.

The Area Before The Bridge

This video was posted by a news website in Tijuana in October, 2023. A large crowd of people are running up the levee of the Tijuana river to cross illegally as it has been the practice. All they have had to do in the past is turn left on the top of the levee and the open border is just a couple of hundred yards away.

The two women watching are excited, saying things such as, “Great, they are going to cross.” and “They are trying to cross.”

This is a Google image that shows how the border looked before they started building the bridge. There were about 350 yards of wide open border just a short walk from downtown Tijuana, a very large city. If a large crowd of people storm the border here, as they often have done, there is no way they can stop them. Of course, in recent years they do not even try to avoid the Border Patrol, but seek out the nearest agent and surrender to claim asylum and be released into the US.

When this bridge is completed it will no longer be so easy to cross illegally here. However, it will not stop people from crossing illegally elsewhere to claim asylum. To stop that changes in policy are necessary, as Trump already showed could be done.

Gavin Newsom: California Gay Values Are Future of America

When Proposition 8 (gay marriage) passed in California, the then Mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom declared that it was inevitable that California values would become American values. He was specifically talking about gay ideology, but he also means it in a broader sense, not just LGBTQ and gender ideology, but the more general, far-left progressive ideology. Of course, he also thinks San Francisco’s more radical values represent the values of all of California, which is not true either. There are some conservative parts of California, too. (Sorry about the poor video quality.)

Kamala Harris Vows to Close Immigration Detention Centers

In this shocking video, Kamala Harris vows to close the “immigration detention centers” “on Day One” of her presidency. This video was made in 2019 during her first utterly failed campaign for the 2020 presidency.

People are held in detention centers in the US because the law requires it to protect the American people from the mass migration of those who cross into the US and do harm to the American people, whether intentionally or not.

When she vows to close the immigration detention centers, she is vowing not to enforce the immigration law. Of course, this should not surprise anyone, since Biden / Harris have not been fully enforcing the immigration laws for four years.

Because she is prone to saying such things, the party bosses — Obama and cohorts — had to appoint her at the last minute to be their 2024 candidate without any popular vote in the primaries or by elected convention delegates. They have to try to sneak her into the presidency.

Closing the detention centers would be another huge signal that everyone in the world can come and be released immediately. The Biden / Harris administration has conspired with the Mexican government and the drug-smuggling cartels to assist millions of people in evading our immigration laws.

Some of the media claim that Harris only wants to close the detention centers managed by private contractors. The question was about all detention centers. However, it makes little difference. Even if only contractor-operated detention centers were closed, the Government would soon run out of space. They would then not be able to detain anyone.

For years, Congress has limited funding for detention centers, so that only the bare minimum can held deported. Harris publicly vowed to eliminate them altogether. It would build networks of support for terrorists, drug smuggling and general criminality in our country.
