Undocumented Worker in Critical Condition
Four Other Immigrants Feared Dead
Sasabe, Arizona (May 15, 2000)-- La Voz de Aztlan has learned that
two Arizona
ranchers on horseback and armed with high power hunting rifles
shot
and critically
wounded an undocumented Mexican worker attempting to cross the
border
near
Sasabe, Arizona on Friday. Four other young men accompanying 20
year
old Miguel
Angel Palofox Aguerrin of Guasave, Sinaloa are feared dead at the
hands of the
vigilantes.
La Voz de Aztlan confirmed with Sasabe, Sonora, Mexico police
authorities that in the
early morning hours of Friday, May 12, Miguel and four of his
companions came under
lethal attack by two Anglos on horseback porting sidearms and high
power hunting
rifles. Miguel, who is in critical condition with a shot to the
head
at the Servicios
Medicos de Sonora (Semeson) in Caborca, informed the Sesabe,
Sonora
authorities
that his group was suddenly ambushed by the two vigilantes. He
managed to take a
good look at the "shooters" before a high impact bullet tore
through
his neck and exited
through his ear. He told police that he remembers seeing his
companions fall after also
being shot but there have been no bodies recovered as of today.
The
incident occurred
approximately 4 miles from the border on US territory according to
Roberto Burgos
Molina of the Mexican Consulate in Nogales, Arizona.
Miguel informed Mexican police authorities that he lost
consciousness
soon after the
bullet impact to his head. He remembers seeing his companions get
shot also and falling
to the ground. When he regained consciousness, he was on the
ground
bleeding
profusely. He was able to drag himself to the border crossing
station
at Sesabe where
he was given immediate medical attention and taken to a hospital
at
Caborca, Sonora.
It is not known if the youth survived the ordeal nor of the
condition
of his four
companions.
On Saturday a group of Arizona vigilante ranchers were joined by
white supremacist
groups from California for a meeting at Sierra Vista, Arizona for
the
explicit purpose of
discussing a plan on how to deal with what they call "a Mexican
invasion" by
undocumented workers. A white supremacist by the name of Glenn
Spencer, head of a
group called American Patrol, led a contingent of California
anti-Mexican bigots to the
meeting with vigilante rancher Roger Barnett who told US World
Report
that he is
ready to "kill Mexicans" if it became necessary. The meeting was
also
attended by the
Arizona 9th District of the Imperial Wizards of the Klux Klax Klan
according to the
newspaper La Reforma of Mexico. According to La Reforma, a
proposal
surfaced at
the meeting to place anti-personnel land mines at strategic places
along the border in
order to deter illegal immigration by Mexicans. The meeting was
heavily policed by the
Sierra Vista Police Department and by the Arizona Rangers.

is a wee bit suspect. I wonder if this bunch is affliated with the Ku Klux Klan. May be a copyright infringement there somewhere.
