I would like to thank all of you that went to the CCIR meeting in Garden Grove, California. I felt that I was with the real American people. Please keep up the good work. If I can help you in anyway, please contact me. Barbara Coe knows how to reach me. I forgot to thank minister who was hard at work helping the meeting go well, thank you. By the way, if anyone would like to say something to the people living in Mexico, write it on your computer and send it to me; maybe I can print it on our website for the world to read.

Mr. X will be speaking at an upcoming California Coalition for Immigration Reform (CCIR) meeting on Wednesday, June 24. Following is the announcement (corrected 6-13-09 10:07 PM PST):

CCIR Proudly Presents....

An exceptionally courageous American patriot born in San Diego of Mexican parents, he attended school in the South Bay of San Diego and has a college degree. He is a U.S. Army veteran and is a former member of the CA National Guard. As the owner of multiple companies throughout the world (some in Mexico), he learned many of the "bad things" that humans do to each other.

Today, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, U.S. Department of Homeland Secretary Janet Napolitano, and Director of National Drug Control Policy Gil Kerlikowske released President Obama’s strategy to stem the flow of illegal drugs and their illicit proceeds across the Southwest border and reduce associated crime and violence in the region.

The National Southwest Border Counternarcotics Strategy directs Federal agencies to increase coordination and information sharing with State and local law enforcement agencies, intensifies national efforts to interdict the southbound flow of weapons and bulk currency, and calls for continued close collaboration with the Government of Mexico in their efforts against the drug cartels. The strategy is an important component of the Administration’s national drug control policy and complements the Administration’s comprehensive efforts to respond to threats along the border.

Among efforts to revive tourism, Mexico City will provide health coverage for visitors -- not only treatment for swine flu, but any other health problems that arise while visiting the city, including any surgery or emergency room visits that may be necessary -- according to a report in the Spanish-language periodical Milenio. Alejandro Rojas, Mexico City's Secretary of Tourism, said the city will rely on the "good faith" of visitors not to abuse the system by seeking treatment for prior issues or by other means. "I believe that the people who want to visit our city do so in good faith," Rojas said, "because they know they'll find a hospitable city with a rich heritage."

Two American citizens were among four people arrested for kidnapping a hardware store employee in Tijuana. Tedy Toledo and his sister Nancy Eloise Toledo allegedly have ties to the Arrellano-Felix cartel. Both admitted ties to the Tijuana cartel, though Nancy later told the press she didn't have anything to do with drug traffickers or the kidnapping. She did admit the presence of weapons where she was staying; seizures made during the arrest included three rifles and several ammunition clips. The victim had apparently been confused with the store owner's son, who was the intended target.
