On The Border - Connie's Perspective
Well it is time again for the weekly update from the USBP regarding incidents etc for the week of July 22, 2007 through July 28, 2007. Keep in mind this is just one week.

1 Convicted Sex Offender (Mexican National)
1 MS 13 Gang Member (El Salvadorian National)

1 Sureno 13 Street Gang Member (Mexican National)
Agent Assaults (6) rockings and one personal assault on an agent with fists.
This is not quite as much activity as the week before, but it is still significant. Be sure to pass this information on to friends and family. Especially those who still believe it is only the migrant worker entering the United States and remind them that this most likely accounts for 1/5th to 1/4th of what actually was brought in.
Also, the congress is in recess so it is a wonderful time to start bugging them while they are home on vacation. Keep those calls, letters and faxes going.
May God bless you all,
Connie
