Free Republic Eyes On The Border: After Action Report
First Hand Observation | 7/28/2014 | humblegunner

Posted on 07/28/2014 9:59:55 AM PDT by humblegunner

This past weekend, 7/26 and 7/27, Jim & Chris Robinson, Syncro & I met up near
McAllen, Texas to observe first-hand the situation at the border along the Rio Grande.

My report is as follows:

Border Patrol Station Operations:

Friday and Saturday we set about observation of the McAllen Border Patrol Station
at 3000 West Military Hwy. Buses were indeed seen leaving at intervals throughout the day.

It was mentioned on this thread that a warehouse was being used to stage illegals
for transport elsewhere. Its location had been reported as 3700 W. Ursula Ave
(Thanks to Buckeye Texan here). In fact, Buckeye was feeding us intel
throughout the day on a variety of goings-on.

Located just Northwest of the Border Patrol Station, we had a look at the facility.

Note that there are numerous unmarked new vans in evidence, as well as new slats
in the chain link fence to block observation of operations inside. There did not
appear to be much security in evidence nor were any movements in or out seen.

They may be conducting their bus operations at night, or this could simply be
a red herring to draw attention away from the actual transfer point.

The facility did not give the appearance of being particularly well secured.

The FReep:

Both Friday and Saturday we set up Jim's RV across from the Border Patrol Station
to protest the distribution of illegals as opposed to summary deportation.

Syncro & Jim, the Bolinas Border Patrol:

Chris & Jim:

Looks like Jim isn't too keen on Obamacare:

We got lots of honks in support, and only a couple of fingers.
Most gratifying were the honks from the Border Patrol agents themselves.

The Camp:

We were able to set up camp at one of the Border Patrol's staging areas for
boat launching and observation. We were asked not to say specifically where.

The Bolinas Border Patrol arrives at the river:

The Patrol had a mobile observation post set up there. Its basically a
high-tech deer stand on a trailer and will raise up to about 25 feet.

It has a generator, communication gear and night vision capabilities.
I thought it was pretty cool.. I want one!

Jim has this section of the border covered:

The Border Patrol ran boat launching and loading operations in continuous
shifts. These guys had it down, too.. they could launch a boat out of there
in about 5 minutes flat. The Patrol guys were very professional and efficient.

We've read reports about the Patrol being pushed back 40 miles from the border.
Maybe somewhere, but not in the Rio Grande valley. And they weren't carrying
diapers and baby bottles either. More like M-4 Carbines with 30 round magazines.

Good Report.

Scary, because Humble is being serious, and showing us his true capabilities.

Thank you very much for all the wonderful photos, information, for being there, and for not pimping a blog, and making darn sure nobody else does either. God bless you and the whole crew! FE

Go all the way to the bottom. This is satire.

You got it HG. The boots up to the commanders I know are A # one and they take their job serious. They hate what the FERAL Government is doing to them on ROEs and how they are funding them.

A while back the fuel was cut to the inner sectors such as Fal, Sarita and Hebronville to 100 gallons a day per shift per sector. Now how crazy is this???? How can a border patrol agent feel who goes on shift who has not even the fuel to go out and do his work? Heck, on any one night I would burn 15 gallons in my 4wheeler on a patrol and I sat and listened a whole bunch. Any one sector has 30+ vehicles running full out on a 12 hours shift.

Personally, I do not know how they do it. When you see one, tell them thanks because they deserve it.

HG, thanks for the report.

On our way back from meeting with Jim and folks at the Rio, Aggie and I passed a few DHS plated vans sitting on their springs.

Their glass was tinted but you could tell that the occupants were not men in green but short body people. Aggie and I both commented that there go some more democratic voters.

Several vans headed straight through Georgewest on there way to San Antonio. I believe there is a welcome doormat for these invaders in that cesspool.

“Inhumane housing?” Hell, just give them some plywood and a couple of sheets of hard plastic for roofs. That’s how they live in their own countries. Plywood or a big cardboard box should be fine.

A beautiful fairy appeared one day to a destitute Mexican refugee outside an Arizona immigration office.

“Good man,” the fairy said, “I’ve been sent here by President Obama and told to grant you three wishes, since you just arrived in the United States with your wife and eight children.”
The man told the fairy, “Well, where I come from we don’t have good teeth, so I want new teeth, maybe a lot of gold in them.”

The fairy looked at the man’s almost toothless grin and — PING !— he had a brand new shining set of gold teeth in his mouth!

“What else?” asked the fairy, “Two more to go.”

The refugee claimant now got bolder. “I need a big house with big three-car garage in Annapolis on the water with eight bedrooms for my family and the rest of my relatives who still live in my country.. I want to bring them all over here” -— and PING— in the distance there could be seen a beautiful mansion with a three-car garage, a long driveway, and a walkout patio with a BBQ in an upscale neighborhood overlooking the bay.

“One more wish,” said the fairy, waving her wand.

“Yes, one more wish. I want to be like an American with American clothes instead of these torn clothes, and a baseball cap instead of this sombrero. And I want to have white skin like Americans” -—and -— PING — The man was instantly transformed - wearing worn-out jeans, a Baltimore Orioles T-shirt, and a baseball cap. He had his bad teeth back and the mansion had disappeared from the horizon.

“What happened to my new teeth?” he wailed. “Where is my new house?”

The fairy said:
“Tough sh*t, Amigo, now that you are a white American, you have to fend for yourself.”

Jim, you and Syncro - et al - are tops! I am with you in heart and spirit - NEVER GIVE UP

The night vision thingy is cool... at our house we have some gen-1 night vision for time of need... I suppose for border security it really helps.

MINE THE BORDER!

God bless you Jim and crew .. some of us ol' fahts would've loved to have been there with ya'.

I think the primary frustration is the inner turmoil patriots feel when compelled to "do a job" as opposed to doing what's right.

At least I want to think that.
