San Diego Activist At ICE Raid In South Park Identified

Pedro Rios is the director of a radical open-borders program in San Diego funded by the American Friends Service Committee. Pedro appears in the video “speaking for the community”, as the ABC report states. Two other men with bullhorns are in front of the Buono Forchetta restaurant raided by ICE agents, where half the staff were found to have fake green cards. Without much doubt, they are activists also. It probably does not come as a big surprise to many, but we can assume that much of the protests and riots in Southern California are being organized by such paid far-left activists.

Pedro is responsible for assisting untold thousands of people to cross the border illegally. During the Biden administration, Pedro Rios ran an aid station for illegal border crossers near the sewage plant west of San Ysidro, California. Without his food and other aid, many probably would not have crossed. Almost certainly, he is a paid activist and not strictly a volunteer.

Pedro is seen at about 1:00 into this video.

Pedro Rios’ last job for American Friends was to manage the aid station for this camp of people who crossed the border illegally, shown in video below.

El Cajon Councilman Compares Deporting Illegals to Nazi Holocaust

In El Cajon (CA), the Progressive Republican City Councilman, Gary Kendrick, compares the enforcement of immigration law to the Nazi Holocaust. He says other damn fool things, such as illegal aliens are good because they make good ethnic food, which he enjoys a lot.

The Nazis were lawless they ignored existing laws and dictated their own law. Ignoring and corrupting legitimate law is actually what the pro-illegal immigration people are doing, Deporting illegal aliens affirms the law made by our democratically elected representatives.

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!

How Tens of Thousands of Illegals Breached a 30-Foot Border Wall

A big part of the mission of the Border Patrol is to stop illegal crossings at the border. Biden has turned the mission of the Border Patrol on its head. Now the Border Patrol is playing a supporting role to the cartels in their efforts to smuggle unqualified refugees illegally into the US. Under Biden, they have been turned into a helper organization for the cartels, at least for human trafficking. The Lukeville border crossing was closed to legal crossers for a month so that tens of thousands of illegal crossers could be served more quickly and transported promptly to the next station on their journey into the US interior. This post details how they crossed the Trump “wall” and how they were processed and transferred.

Below, some illegals who crossed the border via a hole in the bollard fence are shown. They are walking to the Lukeville border station to surrender to agents. They will fraudulently claim asylum and be released. These illegals are recruited and trained by the cartels on what to do and say in their initial “credible fear” interview to be released into the US interior. Many of them will borrow up to half of their crossing fees and work to pay off the loan on the US side. The work is likely to be for the cartel involving some kind of illegal activity, such as drug smuggling, prostitution, extortion, money laundering, murder, etc.

A typical hole cut in a bollard is shown below. It does not does not appear easy to cross via this small hole, but the bollard can be pulled out of the way for easy crossing by hundreds at a time. This bollard was cut with an oxy-acetylene torch, but they can also be cut with a grinder. The concrete inside was chiseled out. It takes about 30 minutes for an expert to cut the bollard.

The 30-foot wall would seem to be easier to breach this way than the 18-foot wall. This is because there is more leverage if the wall is 30 feet high. A bollard therefore flexes more easily so that a person can pull it aside to create a gap for people to slip through, compared to 18-feet bollards.

One man was repairing these holes in the fence. I’m sure it takes him longer to repair a hole than it takes the smugglers to cut multiple new ones. So, he can never catch up with the smugglers cutting holes. I am sure the National Guard has plenty of wielders they could have used, but the National Guard was only helping to process and transport the illegals.

There were dozens of places where a bollard had been cut through and repaired with a steel sleeve. The Steel sleeve is weaker than the original bollard, because it no longer has steel rebar inside after being cut once. So, the coyotes like to cut the same bollard multiple times.

The video below shows how they cross. A single person can pull the bollard out of the way. The video below was originally taken by Fox News, but I copied it from a Mexican TV station. In 3 minutes, 77 people crossed illegally. So, hundreds or thousands can cross though one hole cut in the fence in a very short time. I did not see the Border Patrol or anyone else trying to stop them from cutting holes and crossing. Groups of as much 1,000-1,500 were crossing this way in Lukeville. A group of a 1,000 could cross, using a single hole like this in 30-60 minutes when no one is trying to stop them. During the Trump term, the Border Patrol would tear-gas large groups trying to cross like this.

Note the cartel coyote at 00:20 in the video giving the news crew and the American public the finger, as he crosses dozens of illegals with impunity into the US with active the assistance of the Border Patrol and the National Guard, who are tasked only to process and transport them.

Estimated Revenue Generated

The smugglers have a big advantage over the Border Patrol, because there is a huge about of money being generated in this operation. They are better funded and more flexible than the local Border Patrol. In any case the Border Patrol did not seem to be going to any great effort to stop them.

Every person crossing pays thousands of dollars to the smugglers. Assume they each pay $5K, which is a conservative estimate. The average number crossing was about 2,000 per day for a month from December 4th to January 4th. That is 60,000 within that month. A press release by local congressmen estimated 2,000 crossers per day. That was also my estimate, based on what I saw and what I was told by locals. That would mean about $10 million dollars being collected in revenue every day or $300 million dollars for that month.

That is the month that the Biden administration shutdown the crossing so that the Border Patrol, Customs and the National Guard could concentrate their efforts on assisting the cartel to move about 60,000 illegals into the US. Some of the profits, no doubt, end up in the pockets of key US politicians.

The estimate above does not include the revenue generated by additional drugs smuggled, due to the Border Patrol being tied up processing illegal crossers, claiming asylum, or the money that many pay in addition to be smuggled across Mexico. The total revenue generated by this month-long operation would likely be a couple times higher than the $300 million estimated just to be put across the border. Total revenue could approach a billion dollars at this one small, isolated border crossing, where there are relatively few Border Patrol agents. Agents were pulled off the border to service illegal crossers, which made it easier during that time to smuggle drugs in that area.

Processing Unqualified Asylum Seekers

The illegals were processed under the tent at the border crossing, where vehicles normally drive through.

Few of these people spoke English and they are likely to form their own communites and not assimulate into the US mainstream. Many of them are from countries that does not have a deportation agreement with the US. For that reason they will be very difficult to deport, say if they commit crimes. Most of their home countries do not share criminal records, either. So, there is no way to find out if they are known criminals.

The were transported in vans to the local Border Patrol Station on Highway 85 about 25 miles north of Lukeville, near the crossroads of “Why”. I followed one and clocked the van at 85+ mph. They apparently had to drive that fast to keep up with the flow of illegal crossers.

There is another processing station (shown below) on a dirt side road (Puerto Blanco Drive) just over a mile north of the Border Crossing to the west of Highway 85. This is the normal processing station when the border crossing is open. Paste these coordinates into your navigator to go to the approximate location of the processing station: 31.889585, -112.832399 or click on this link for a map 31.889585, -112.832399

Local townspeople were told exactly when the border crossing would reopen and traffic did slow down, just before January 4th when it was scheduled. For a number of reasons, it seems there was a two-way communication channel and coordination between the American government and the smugglers. It may be routed through Mexican officials who then talk to the smugglers.

Lookouts On Monument Hill

Monument Hill is just west of the border crossing. Lookouts posted there warn the smugglers, if there is any threat from approaching Border Patrol agents.

Three people in the image below are replacements for the lookouts. They are climbing the hill along the Mexican side of the fence. One of the two lower persons is a woman. There is a second man above them, who appears to be sitting on a rock resting.

This is video of the lookout on Monument Hill. The three lookouts are on top of the hill. Three replacements on their way to the top can be seen on the lower right part of the video.

Previous Method of Mass Crossing

The Lukeville area is prone to desert flashfloods. Without floodgates that can be opened, a flashflood can easily knock down sections of the fence, especially if they are set in sand. There are also maintenance gates that allow the Border Patrol to pass through in case repairs need to be made from the other side. The border fence is always built a couple feet back from the actual US border.

About 2 years earlier the coyotes were crossing masses of illegals by opening the floodgates or maintenance gates in the area. There is a round, silver lock in the gates that. The lock is the American Lock 2010 series “Puck” Lock. They would apparently melt the lock open melt with a torch. Then open the gate and let a crowd of illegal
crossers run through.

Conclusion

They have refined their methods of cutting through the border fence quickly. This is a great threat to border security in California, Arizona and New Mexico, where very large numbers have already been crossing recently.

To state the obvious, the border cannot be secured when there is a president (Biden) and his DHS Secretary (Mayorkas) who actually want and encourage large masses of fraudulent asylum seekers to cross the border illegally. Of course, a secure border a barrier is necessary, as well as effective presidential policies. Biden/Mayorkas policies are actually malicious.

Sending more Border Patrol Agents and National Guardsmen when they are under orders to only assist illegals to cross and not try to stop them is only going to encourage and enable the cartels to send more across.

Every Illegal And His Dog Crossing Border In San Diego

Illegals crossing on the beach as seen from Mexican side

The video below combines a couple of videos that were posted on Mexican news outlets. They are reused here to show illegal crossers at the beach in San Diego. According to reports, about 100 illegals per day are crossing the border at this place.

The section of a few hundred yards was not finished during the Trump term and is being finished now under Biden. I do not think Biden wanted to do it, but a judge ruled that he could not reprogram the money that had been reserved for it by Trump. So, he has to let it go forward and finish the part of the Trump Wall that has already been funded, apparently. Note the dog crossing near the end of the video. Reportedly, the dog was immediately repatriated to Mexico, but probably not the humans.

View of construction from the US side

They are building an 18-foot primary fence, bordering Mexico and a 30-foot secondary fence behind it. The secondary fence has been completed first. It will take many more months for the primary fence to be finished and presumably for that time, it will continue to be relatively easy to cross here at the beach.

View of Border to the west from US side

The silver color of the new fence is due to an anti-corrosive coating of some kind applied to the normally rust-colored, steel bollards. The brown fence in the distance was completed during Trump’s term in office.

Other Notorious illegal crossing places in San Diego Co.

When this construction is done, of course, you should not expect the unprecedented mass illegal crossing of millions to stop, at least not while Biden is in office. Here are some other places that they cross regularly. Of course, crossing in all of these places is controlled by the local cartel coyote and illegal crossers have to pay, about $8-9K in the San Diego area to cross from what I have heard.

  • Tijuana river border crossing – Just to the west of the San Ysidro border crossing, behind the Las Americas Premium Outlets there is a 350-yard gap here where there is no border barrier at all to stop fake refugees from walking into US territory to fraudulently claim asylum and be released.

  • Near the South Bay Water Reclamation Plant – At this location just off Monument Road, the cartel coyotes put fake refugees over the primary fence. They camp out there until the Border Patrol comes to pick them up with a shuttle bus. Progressive hypocrites provide food, water and other supplies through the secondary fence here. They claim it is a “humanitarian relief project”, but it is really about progressive (neo-Marxist) politics and cheap labor for big business. Click on these coordinates (32.540046, -117.068154) for a map to the location.

  • Marron Valley – Between Otay Mountain and Tecate Peak, there is no border barrier at all for about 6-7 miles of relatively flat land. The Tijuana river meanders across the border at this place, but it is dry most of the year and can be easily walked across. The Border Patrol has a shuttle bus stop here where they go regularly to fetch the new arrivals, most to be quickly released into the US. The Border Patrol discourages the public from driving all the way to the border in Marron Valley, because it is a hot spot for drug smuggling. Click on these coordinates (32.578056, -116.763056) for a map to the location. The Border Patrol warns that you NOT go past the gate in the road at this point.

  • Campo Creek – where the creek and an old railroad track crosses the border there is several hundred yards where there is no border barrier at all. It is easy to walk across the border here. To drive there you have to use the border road starting from Tecate or from Campo.

  • Jacumba Hot Springs. Near Jacumba there is a single low fence, built during the Bush era, where they climb over. In places the fake refugees can walk around the fence. Reportedly a number of camps are there of fake refugees. The Border Patrol also provides a regular shuttle service for them to the station.
