Let me add the following to Jackelopebreeder's report:
The source of the following is idratherbepainting and her doctor friend from Phoenix.
Friends of mine and Minuteman Project volunteers were having fun with the coyotes yesterday. On the road about 1/2 mile from my house is a number of popular load pickup points. Yesterday my friends drove down the road looking for signs of illegals or coyotes. Sure enough, in a really popular spot they saw the tell-tale baseball cap on the fence post. That means there's a group with the coyote in the field waiting for pickup or possibly a food drop off. The coyotes have cell phones and arrange these spots and use signs like a baseball cap as a signal of their exact location. Local high school kids and such who are making a few bucks enabling the illegals will get a phone call sometimes with a number and a food drop off point. They'll go down to McDonalds and pick up 100 one dollar sandwiches and come out to the drop off point, give it to the coyote, and collect $200. Instant $100 profit - and illegal.
One of my friends saw the cap, cut it up and threw it on the ground. She drove on about one mile and found some flourescent pink and orange marking tapes tied to the fence like they use on job sites and in landscaping. Coyotes use this all the time to mark trails or pickup points. She cut the tapes from the fence.
She drove back the direction she came and saw that the cap on the fence had been replaced. She cut this cap up too and yelled to the unseen group of illegals "You're not getting your food or a pickup today!" She finished there and drove back down the road again. This time she saw a pickup vehicle - a minivan - at the location where she'd cut the marking tapes. She pulled over behind the minivan and it peeled out and left the area. She yelled at the unseen group of illegals, "No pick up for you!" She saw that the tapes had been replaced by a pants cuff cut from a pair of jeans. She cut it up and tossed it away.
She went back to the place where she'd seen the caps and found now a sock on the fence. She took it off and cut it up. Her friend finally took pity on the illegals in the field and called Border Patrol and let them know there was possibly two groups of illegals in the field and that they're likely getting really hungry and some of them don't have their hats anymore. Border Patrol responded and she left the area.
Last night they went out there again and found two coyotes by the road. When lit up with their spotlights the coyotes ran away into the field. This morning they found a cell phone in the field where the coyotes had been. I've got possession of that cell phone and I am trying to get a charger cable to recharge it and get the numbers off of it. I will turn over the phone numbers and cell phone to Border Patrol if I can get anything from it and confirm it was actually dropped by a coyote.
The load drivers got really brazen last night. About 1.5 miles from my house the Minuteman Project volunteers observed a group of illegals and their coyote coming down from the mountain. They got close enough for the coyote to be observed using a cell phone arranging a pickup. Border Patrol was called. Suddenly, a van pulled into the area in Coronado National Park and the illegal aliens ran and jumped in. The van peeled out and ran straight at the MMP volunteers who dodged out of the way. The van hit the highway and headed north at a high rate of speed. Border Patrol was just arriving and gave chase. At this point we don't know the disposition of the van and its occupants. There's a good chance that they were intercepted at the check point further north, but that is only if the check point was even open at the time (thanks to Rep. Jim Kolbe's (RINO-AZ) meddling it is only open half the time).
this jackelopebreeder?
Yes.
Any plans to start a daily log pinglist? I'm fascinated.
Thanks for both reports. The MMP continues with its good work.

Get on hijinx's excellent ping list
Second that! And include me!
Second that! And include me!
Could that be because there aren't as many border crossing as originally thought?
Or does that sentence mean they are being outrun by them and unable to apprehend ones they actually see?
My family and I thank you and the entire MMP!
Excellent report on excellent work.
Any luck with the cell phone you found?
Could you add me to that Minuteman pinglist?
This is enlightening information our government seems to not want us to see. Excellent work Minutemen and Minutewomen! Keep it up and expose our do nothing congress as being conspirators by promoting illegal immigration!
Great work but.....
Stay safe.
Its like a whole little war out there.
I can't believe the feds ignore this stuff.
I'll try to pick up a charger in town tomorrow. It's a Qualcomm QCP-860. I'm sure Radio Shack or Wal Mart has compatible chargers.
I can believe the Feds ignore this stufff--they're gutless turds.
What I can't believe are the conservatives who ignore this issue---some on this very board.
I guess $5.00/hr landscaping is the going rate for principles these days.
