Abstract
Who are the people on Border Patrol buses at Murrieta, CA. and why are they invading our nation? The protestors seem oblivious to America’s origin by illegal immigrants to the so-called new world, later to Mexico (now called the Southwest). Patriots would do well to spend their 4th of July, researching our own history. An Internet search of “U.S. sponsored death squads” documents our sordid history of fomenting military takeovers of democratically elected governments in almost every nation south of our border. Well-documented death squad murders amount to 35,000 El Salvadorans and 42,000 Guatemalans killed. People in fear for their lives run from the danger, even when their fate is unknown. Better to flee to an unknown fate in the U.S. than to await the well-known fate: kidnap, rape, and murder in their home.
