La Patrulla Fronteriza acosa mexicanos en Fallbrook, California,
by ....
Wednesday Oct 24th, 2007 10:01 AM
(english below)

Hemos sido testigos de la presencia de la Border Patrol en Fallbrook
durante una visita breve que hicimos hoy hace un rato. Testificamos que
entraron en vecindarios mexicanos y creemos que no hay razon alguna para que
la Border Patrol esté presente en estos tiempos de crisis. Su presencia de
hecho intimida a la gente que pueda estar en necesidad urgente para buscar
ayuda. (Pueden ver un breve clip si oprimen donde dice: "here", mas abajo).
Aunque casi toda la gente ha sido evacuada, muchos permanecen en sus casas,
ya sea para defenderlas o simplemente para seguir trabajando.
Desafortunadamente, muchos negocios permanecen abiertos, a pesar de la orden
de evacuacion, sometiendo a sus trabajadores a condiciones de atmósfera
insalubres.

Aún peor, el hecho de que Fallbrook esta siendo evacuada y la cobertura de
los medios ha sido poca o nada para difundir esta crítica situacion, nos
orilla a cuestionar aun mas la presencia de la Border Patrol en esa area.
Simplemente: nadie los necesita ni los quiere allí.

Por favor, manden e-mails o llamen a las siguientes oficinas para exigir que
la Border Patrol salga de Fallbrook inmediatamente! Necesitamos apoyo y
respeto en estos momentos de crisis, no mas terror!!

PD No sabemos si lo mismo pasa en otras areas del sur de California
afectadas por incendios. Si lo ves, denúncialo!

We have witnessed the presence of the Border Patrol in Fallbrook
during a brief visit we made earlier
today. We witnessed them entering into Mexican neighborhoods and we believe
there is absolutely no reason for the Border Patrol to be present in this
time of crisis. Their presence in fact discourage people who may be in need
to seek aid. Click here to watch a
short clip.

Although most people have evacuated, many still remain either to defend
their homes, or to simply keep working. Unfortunately many businesses still
remain open, despite the evacuation order, subjecting their workers to
unhealthy breathing conditions.

Furthermore, the fact that Fallbrook is under evacuation and little to no
media have been present to cover the critical situation Fallbrook faces,
leads us to further question the presence of the Border Patrol in this
area. They simply are not needed nor wanted.

Please call or email the following to demand that the Border Patrol leave
Fallbrook immediately! We need support and respect in this time of crisis,
not more terror!

Update: from Ricardo Favela- We as Fallbrook residents evacuated since early Monday and have been staying in Perris... Overall, there is a lack of information for us as evacuees. Being that many of us left to Riverside, the Riverside news stations mainly covered what was happening in Malibu, and sometimes they would mention something about Rancho Bernardo. There is little to no information about what is happening in Fallbrook, Valley Center, Escondido and basically any other area besides Rancho Bernardo and Malibu. We really don't give a damn about what Tom Cruise thinks about the fire in Malibu. Therefore there is a need for independent media, independent journalists to get involved if this is possible... --Read More--
