Hello.
I am a perturbed San Diego County resident living in Fallbrook. Recently there has been an increase in the presence of Border Patrol vehicles in this small town. I suppose the close proximity to the check point between Temecula and Fallbrook is part of the cause. There have been instances when Border Patrol agents set up a “mini check point” at one of three only entrances from the 15 freeway to the town of Fallbrook. There have been instances where the Border Patrol drives by fields of workers. There have even been instances when the Border Patrol drives through elementary schools. It has been said that the purpose of immigration raids and suprise check points are to capture violent immigrant criminals, and indeed they may do that. But I think it is obvious that the Border Patrol is injustly targeting hard working and honest Hispanic people. I am angered by this. I want the Border Patrol to do what it does best: secure our Borders and not hang around the town that I call home and not scare the people I call my neighbors.

Good for you Mr Villegas. We all must speak up and for what we know is right. There is good and bad in all of us and it is our God given duty to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. Keep writing and speaking and being an honest humane man. An example to all people of ALL colors.
