First, I would ask that all citizens of good conscience should begin to be extremely alert, not to the symptoms -- illegal aliens -- but to their causes. For now leaving aside the unscrupulous employers of illegal aliens, the other cause is transnational criminal organizations specializing in the procurement, delivery, and placement of human cargo, to wit, those selfsame illegal aliens. It used to be that most illegal aliens came overland, got themselves past the border with relative ease, and worked in areas not far from the border, generally in the agricultural zones in California and Texas. But the tightening of the border since 1996 or so has merely led to the profitibility of large-scale organization of trafficking human cargo. Increasing the pressures does somewhat reduce the volume of traffic overland, but it also increases the pressures for Traffickers to operate in modes characteristic of organized-crime or foreign-intelligence. I propose that we must all begin to stop thinking in terms of those poor illegal aliens just looking for work and better lives, and we must start thinking in terms of the highly-organized and exceptionally well-equipped and _wealthy_ organizations which make extensive profits by penetrating the US, establishing safe-houses and delivery/placement networks, and making money hand over fist while doing it. Make no mistake about it: these people are businessmen, in business to make money. And part of taking care of business is dealing with business risks. That means that for every cop on the street -- or INS internal areas agent -- there are probably five to fifteen people engaged in discovery of investigative protocols and methodologies. These people, many of which are also -- or were formerly -- engaged in the drug import trade, are professionals and take professional approaches. They use professional equipment, they aggressively seek out and identify those who they consider to be their professional opposition. Probably every single INS agent who's driving around in an agency car is driving around with a radio beacon. I would suspect that this radio beacon is _not_ broadcasting most of the time, I suspect that it's mostly set to receive, until and unless it gets a signal transmitted by suspicious members of these foreign criminal intelligence outfits. (This would mean that agencies giving their vehicles a good "sweeping" back at the shop wouldn't pick up any signals indicating bugging... but once out in the field, they could be "queried" and triggered to either broadcast a location beacon, or go to a time-limited voice-transmission mode.)[1] There's an excellent possibility that every INS agent has a tail or two on them. Totally outbudgeted and out-equipped, they're probably being led around by their noses on wild-goose chases, or being led to rival groups' "product". The INS and local law enforcement are taking totally the wrong approach to this. This isn't a simple Federal matter of enforcing immigration laws; this is massive penetration of society by an ongoing criminal enterprise of transnational/multinational scope. This has to be approached in the same way you'd approach an ongoing operation by Special Services. The cops and INS need to wake up and realize that they're not up against a bunch of "stupid farmers from Mexico", they're up against intelligence agencies. That the intelligence agencies are not the extension of foreign governments doesn't make them less dangerous, it makes them much more dangerous. I suggest that RICO prosecutions are the only reasonable approach for right now. But the main point is to bust up their operations, primarily destroying their communications, command and control, operations, and interfere as highly as possible with any of their investigative, counterintelligence, and surveillance operations. It should be noted that anyone operating as a citizen in opposition to massive illegal immigration in general, and organized criminal trafficking of human-cargo in particular, can expect the same sort of targeting for constant surveillance, and probably other sorts of "investigation". Keep in mind that these organizations are criminal in intent and nature, and certainly won't feel restrained by concerns for the Constitutional rights of the citizens... But since the cops and INS may very well be under the thumb of these transnational criminal organizations -- they may have totally "spoofed" the LE organizations -- the only possible counterforce _may be the concerned citizen_. So be alert, when you see a safe-house, report it; when you see a shipment coming in disguised as a "church bus", report it. Start scanning radio traffic, especially on "off the shelf" frequencies. Expect cell-phone traffic to be highly monitored, these guys don't comply with "cell-blocking" regulations for scanners. footnote: 1. How to test? Well, get a good rapid-scan bug-detector and sweep the car back at the shop. Then go openly poke your nose into a suspected base of operations. If all of a sudden you start getting indications on your detector, which disappear after specific times or as soon as you get a certain distance away from the base of operations, you've got a "transmit on demand" bug. If you can capture the triggering signal and frequency, you can use this to build cases, on the assumption that anyone using this sort of equipment is high in the ranks -- or supplied by someone high in the ranks -- of these well-equipped and high-strategy foreign criminal intelligence gangs. -- Whom thou'st vex'd waxeth wroth: http://earthops.net/klaatu/thewar/
