Tohono O'odham Indians, Border Patrol at odds

A few hugs and kisses later, the family begins the three-mile walk home. -- But tension soon seeps into the cheery scene.

Members of Osama Bin Laden's terror network have relied upon occasionally crude but largely effective phony documents to ease their way into and around the United States. -- Forged passports, phony driver's licenses, dummy identification cards and other documents have allowed Bin Laden's operatives to carry out their terror campaign on American soil. -- In doing so, they have tapped into a surging trade in document fraud that also counts people smugglers, drug couriers and common thieves among its patrons.

BILL KING ON
"CONQUEST OF AZTLAN':
"Every American should get this video and watch it once a month."
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The borders and entry points to the United States leak like sieves, offering the nation little or no protection against potential terrorists who can enter the country undetected, immigration experts said on Tuesday.
   "It should be universally recognized that our borders are out of control," said Bill King, a retired senior Border Patrol agent and former head of the Border Patrol Academy.
   King told a seminar organized by the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington think-tank, that there were almost 9 million people illegally residing in the United States.

Sensenbrenner and Gekas to call the INS "the most dysfunctional federal agency around."		 L.A. Times

Thanks, Mayor Hahn,
Now on that note, I will never even contemplate on moving to L.A from East Coast. I guess the only impending question is, how soon we shall see Mexican flag raising in L.A if not California. --- Alex
