Here’s a report by Harvard’s Diane Evertsen of what happened Saturday in Harvard when illegal immigration protesters set u shop on Route 14 south of town.
A cover email:
points out NO MEDIA covering this tells more than you know.
There is a BLACKOUT on any news that paints the ILLEGALS or the MEXICAN government – or this bunch sitting in the White House and Congress – in an honest light.
Only those items that are sob story or please have sympathy for the poor ILLEGALS who are only here to do the jobs Americans won’t get published.
There was a real kleenex report on CBS nightly news last night about the bunch in Postville, IA. at the kosher packing plant. All those poor women and kids (ILLEGALS) who are having to depend upon then local Catholic Church for food, etc. as they are awaiting their trials. One of the ILLEGALS (female) said she plans to take her kids back to Guatemala and then return to the US as soon as she can, any way she can.
Is that a poor hard working person or someone DEFIANT and INTENT upon violating American law? Save your tears for the American lives ruined by the presence of ILLEGALS and those who so heartily support them.
Be sure to note the two people (male and female Mexicans) in the car in the first picture (actually, I’ve placed it second) giving the MEXICAN SALUTE TO AMERICANS. It is their *culture*.
Friday, they were in front of Harvard Junior High School.
FIELD REPORT: Harvard, Illinois
July 19, 2008The day certainly started off on a gloomy note weather-wise as the allotted “appointment” holders rolled (or in some cases, walked) into our public junior high school to obtain their “documents” from the Mexican government, via the Mexican Mobil Consulate.
This being the third day of their 4-day surge, our concern over the health and safety of those foreign nationals in our building is continuing to mount.
Considering the number of “appointments” being held per day (we understand they can “serve” 200 Mexican citizens daily), we’re concerned about the electrical draw on the power supply for all of the computers and data bases.
There must be a lot of computers in there to “serve” 200 Mexican Nationals every day for four consecutive days, considering the need to access data bases in Mexico to confirm that these foreign nationals are who they claim to be.
Whooops!! Just remembered! Mexico HAS NO DATA BASE TO CONFIRM IDENTIFICATION OF THEIR OWN CITIZENS. That in itself must make the job of bestowing IDENTITY DOCUMENTS very difficult, indeed.
We, as American citizens, don’t know for sure how many computers they have because we are not allowed in OUR building.
In any case, we had a great day!
The turnout of Patriots was a thing of beauty; we had people at the Junior High to photo each “entrant”, and a crowd along busy State Highway 14, directly across the street from the new Castle Bank which is currently under construction.
We really can’t figure out how many new ‘customers’ a bank would have to attract in order to pay for such a building; if you have any idea, let us know or, you may want to call the bank & ask them.
We understand through the response to our FOIA to the School District that Castle Bank’s own Rosalinda Carreno made the request to use the school “building and/or property”.
You may want to call the bank to thank Rosalinda and/or let her superiors (if she has any) know how much you appreciate her efforts on behalf of Mexican Nationals.

We did, of course, have the usual products of public education pass by with their stunted language arts knowledge. Apparently the most easily pronounced four letter Mexican word begins with an “F” and ends with a “K”.
Oddly, our response of “God bless you, too” failed to pacify.
It would appear the formerly sleepy little town of Harvard, Illinois is aware there is an illegal alien problem and were glad to have Minutemen to draw attention to it. Have any of you had the opportunity to have people drive by slowly and yell,
“Thank God
you’re finally here!”?We had people park their cars and walk over to shake our hands and thank us for our efforts! We are enthused!
Halfway through the day our contingent at the Junior High had a car pull up, a male exited the vehicle and asked our photo taker why he was taking photos, and then demanded that he be given the digital camera.
Our no-nonsense Vietnam vet signaled the police (who were stationed within 100 feet) who immediately started walking over, at which time our camera-shy friend re-entered his vehicle & drove up to the school.
It strikes me as odd that they drive in eagerly to get a picture on a Matricula that costs about $28 (and I’m assuming the Mexican officials will take that in US dollars), but get unglued about an American citizen taking their picture for free. All was well, however, and the day continued on.
Over on the South end of town, the smiles, friendly waves & thumbs up continued with the steady stream of traffic on Route 14.
Periodically, an individual with no concern for the rule of law would pass and show us his/her best driving finger.
Between noon- and one-o’clock, a nice black Cadillac (note the Field Report from 7/18/08) drove by with its passenger hanging out the window screaming obscenities about “white people”.
This could have been mildly amusing since there are those among us who are noticeably brown and black, but what made it work was that as the fool is hanging out the window his trusty gang-banger hat flew off & hit the pavement.
Our concern for his welfare, and the loss of his personal property, mounted and one of our members retrieved the article of clothing from the highway.
Shortly thereafter didn’t little Einstein return with his female driver and whip through the strip mall where we all stood making intelligent decisions about an appropriate lunch spot.
This time he displayed all of his language arts skills in perfect elocution and maximum volume, ending with a threat of bodily harm.
Police officers, again roughly 100 feet away, were notified.
Einstein, however, was not about to stick around and attempted to leave the scene quickly.
Unfortunately, trying to exit a strip mall onto a State highway on a Saturday afternoon takes a little doing.
IQ really does count!
We were able to get some very complimentary photos and film of him and also the lovely grinning female driver.
The police chief will be given the photos in the morning; he believes this future Darwin-Award winner is already well known to his police department…
It would appear the Mexican Consulate has been successful in “serving” approximately 800 people over a 4-day period. We, however, have been successful in waking up approximately 9,000 Americans and letting them know there are others who are willing to do something to regain the rule of law.
