The Bertrand Report The War For Our Mind & Soul Continues
By Capt. Dave Bertrand, Ret.
California has become America’s sore eye and officially a Third World state………….
On the march to further reduce California to ruin, 1,500 illegal aliens are walking from Central America through Mexico with the full support of the Mexican Government. This display of arrogance, as if it is their Right to enter California, is on the same level as the Muslim invasion to Europe.
History of illegal migration into the United States has always resulted a sense of entitlement by illegals to usurp (1) the Constitution (2) the creation of the Mexican / American Farm Workers Union a.k.a. United Farm Workers Union demands for more pay (3) and to bypass all legal entry immigration laws for their families and friends remaining in Mexico / Central America.
Mexicans clashed with the Filipinos during the 20′s over farming jobs but later came together under the United Farm Worker’s Union led by Cesar Chavez and his “Si Se Puede” girlfriend Dolores Huerta of whom to this day attempts to keep the La Raza anti-White curriculum in the Tucson School District.
“Like tens of thousands of their fellow countrymen of the 1920s and 30s, they (Filipinos) crossed the Pacific filled with dreams of adventure, better-paying jobs, access to higher education and personal and social advancement. What most found on their arrival in America were economic oppression, brutal working conditions and racial exclusion (by Mexicans).”
They come from countries where they are oppressed and come to America to oppress the citizens by taking jobs, welfare and medical benefits costing Americans dearly, while a legal line of immigrants wait for years to enter America…not to oppress, but to contribute to our way of life.
The LEGAL immigrant usually never hides among their own people in tight communities, like California, but live among Americans that share their same values.
The ILLEGAL immigrant hides in tight communities, essentially creating a community of fear, because they know I.C.E. could show-up at anytime.
To their rescue is Governor Jerry Brown, a man that has incredibly destroyed California and created a tight knit community, but without the fear factor, declaring war on the federal government if I.C.E. begins a round-up.
However, the Trump administration made it clear to Jerry Brown and the Oakland Mayor that warned illegal aliens that I.C.E. was coming, “the federal government will act accordingly and if you stand in our way, you will be arrested,” something to that effect..
If AG Sessions does NOT act on what is happening in California, the state will continue to waste away and will eventually isolate themselves as poverty ridden rat hole.
Governor Jerry brown has ruined California and he must be removed….
Citizen Border Organizations need to be ready at Calexico when these 1,500 show-up for refuge in California. And we know, that number will grow as the 1,500 continue their march through Mexico.
It is NOT out of the realm of possibilities for a “Citizen’s Arrest” of Jerry Brown and Delores Huerta, both can be expected to be there with open arms to these illegal invaders.
Yes I know….this is Easter Sunday and Jesus died on the cross and I should show some compassion, but wasn’t it Jesus’s own race of people that condemned him to death?
Isn’t it a race of people that want all Whites dead because we are in the way of their take-over of land that is not theirs? These same race of people believe in Jesus Christ while shouting “Si Se Puede” (Yes We Can) take your land.
Americans share much compassion for those that enter legally while most immigrants DO NOT have a rebellious political agenda aligned with the Communist Democrat Party.

Will Gov. Jerry Brown Meet The 1500 Invaders in Calexico With Welcome Home Baskets and a California Green Card?
by Jeff Schwilk
I just spoke to my Border Patrol contact in San Diego and he said he has never seen anything like this in his 20+ years as a Border Patrol Agent! This is a mass organized invasion from Mexico.
A group of about 1500 Central American illegal aliens is walking and being bussed through Mexico towards the U.S. border, with the blessing and assistance of the Mexican Government. Reportedly, more illegal aliens are joining into the group as they move north from town to town. My contact said the latest he has heard is they are headed for Mexicali and the Calexico Port of Entry. We should have more details on Monday on their latest route and ETA.
Obviously this is a coordinated, organized effort by foreign criminals and open border operatives to try to infiltrate our sovereign nation. They are testing President Trump to see if he was serious about securing our border and ending the mass invasion of our nation from Mexico. They think he won’t dare stop them when they arrive at the border.
We call on the Trump Administration to immediately issue a public statement that these ILLEGAL aliens will under no circumstances be allowed to enter our country and will not be granted any fake asylum or refugee status. They are criminals who have already trespassed in to one country (Mexico) and fully intend to illegally enter our country. We will not tolerate such border anarchy. President Trump should issue a strong warning to Mexico and the organizers of this stunt that they are to turn around now and go back home and that they will not be allowed in our country without prior permission under any circumstances.

Sad. My California was once a great State with good people and unlimited opportunity. The good people are leaving. The Socialists have taken the opportunity. California is a joke – a sad joke of what was once a great State with wonderful climate, beautiful beaches, rich farm land, fabulous mountains, filled with people of unbridled optimism. No longer.
Dave Case
This is an article from Victor Davis Hansen, a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institute at Stanford University (Emphasis added by Mr. Hansen)
The last three weeks I have traveled about, taking the pulse of the more forgotten areas of central California. I wanted to witness, even if superficially, what is happening to a state that has the highest sales and income taxes, the most lavish entitlements, the near-worst public schools (based on federal test scores), and the largest number of illegal aliens in the nation, along with an over regulated private sector, a stagnant and shrinking manufacturing base, and an elite environmental ethos that restricts commerce and productivity without curbing consumption.
During this unscientific experiment, three times a week I rode a bike on a 20-mile trip over various rural roads in southwestern FresnoCounty . I also drove my car over to the coast to work, on various routes through towns like San Joaquin , Mendota, and Firebaugh. And near my home I have been driving, shopping, and touring by intent the rather segregated and impoverished areas of Caruthers, Fowler, Laton, Orange Cove, Parlier, and Selma . My own farmhouse is now in an area of abject poverty and almost no ethnic diversity; the closest elementary school (my alma mater, two miles away) is 94 percent Hispanic and 1 percent white, and well below federal testing norms in math and English.
Here are some general observations about what I saw (other than that the rural roads of California are fast turning into rubble, poorly maintained and reverting to what I remember seeing long ago in the rural South). First, remember that these areas are the ground zero, so to speak, of 20 years of illegal immigration. There has been a general depression in farming – to such an extent that the 20- to-100-acre tree and vine farmer, the erstwhile backbone of the old rural California , for all practical purposes has ceased to exist.
On the western side of the Central Valley , the effects of arbitrary cutoffs in federal irrigation water have idled tens of thousands of acres of prime agricultural land, leaving thousands unemployed. Manufacturing plants in the towns in these areas – which used to make harvesters, hydraulic lifts, trailers, food-processing equipment – have largely shut down; their production has been shipped off overseas or south of the border. Agriculture itself – from almonds to raisins – has increasingly become corporatized and mechanized, cutting by half the number of farm workers needed. So unemployment runs somewhere between 15 and 20 percent.
Many of the rural trailer-house compounds I saw appear to the naked eye no different from what I have seen in the Third World . There is a Caribbean look to the junked cars, electric wires crisscrossing between various outbuildings, plastic tarps substituting for replacement shingles, lean-tos cobbled together as auxiliary housing, pit bulls unleashed, and geese, goats, and chickens roaming around the yards. The public hears about all sorts of tough California regulations that stymie business – rigid zoning laws, strict building codes, constant inspections – but apparently none of that applies out here.
It is almost as if the more California regulates, the more it does not regulate. Its public employees prefer to go after misdemeanors in the upscale areas to justify our expensive oversight industry, while ignoring the felonies in the downtrodden areas, which are becoming feral and beyond the ability of any inspector to do anything but feel irrelevant. But in the regulators’ defense, where would one get the money to redo an ad hoc trailer park with a spider web of illegal bare wires?
Many of the rented-out rural shacks and stationary Winnebagos are on former small farms – the vineyards overgrown with weeds, or torn out with the ground lying fallow. I pass on the cultural consequences to communities from the loss of thousands of small farming families. I don’t think I can remember another time when so many acres in the eastern part of the valley have gone out of production, even though farm prices have recently rebounded. Apparently it is simply not worth the gamble of investing $7,000 to $10,000 an acre in a new orchard or vineyard. What an anomaly – with suddenly soaring farm prices, still we have thousands of acres in the world’s richest agricultural belt, with available water on the east side of the valley and plentiful labor, gone idle or in disuse. Is credit frozen? Are there simply no more farmers? Are the schools so bad as to scare away potential agricultural entrepreneurs? Or are we all terrified by the national debt and uncertain future?
California coastal elites may worry about the oxygen content of water available to a three-inch smelt in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, but they seem to have no interest in the epidemic dumping of trash, furniture, and often toxic substances throughout California ‘s rural hinterland. Yesterday, for example, I rode my bike by a stopped van just as the occupants tossed seven plastic bags of raw refuse onto the side of the road. I rode up near their bumper and said in my broken Spanish not to throw garbage onto the public road. But there were three of them, and one of me. So I was lucky to be sworn at only. I note in passing that I would not drive into Mexico and, as a guest, dare to pull over and throw seven bags of trash into the environment of my host.
In fact, trash piles are commonplace out here – composed of everything from half-empty paint cans and children’s plastic toys to diapers and moldy food. I have never seen a rural sheriff cite a litterer, or witnessed state EPA workers cleaning up these unauthorized wastelands. So I would suggest to Bay Area scientists that the environment is taking a much harder beating down here in central California than it is in the Delta. Perhaps before we cut off more irrigation water to the west side of the valley, we might invest some green dollars into cleaning up the unsightly and sometimes dangerous garbage that now litters the outskirts of our rural communities.
We hear about the tough small-business regulations that have driven residents out of the state, at the rate of 2,000 to 3,000 a week. But from my unscientific observations these past weeks, it seems rather easy to open a small business in California without any oversight at all, or at least what I might call a “counter business.” I counted eleven mobile hot-kitchen trucks that simply park by the side of the road, spread about some plastic chairs, pull down a tarp canopy, and, presto, become mini-restaurants. There are no “facilities” such as toilets or washrooms. But I do frequently see lard trails on the isolated roads I bike on, where trucks apparently have simply opened their draining tanks and sped on, leaving a slick of cooking fats and oils. Crows and ground squirrels love them; they can be seen from a distance mysteriously occupied in the middle of the road.
At crossroads, peddlers in a counter-California economy sell almost anything. Here is what I noticed at an intersection on the west side last week: shovels, rakes, hoes, gas pumps, lawnmowers, edgers, blowers, jackets, gloves, and caps. The merchandise was all new. I doubt whether in high-tax California sales taxes or income taxes were paid on any of these stop-and-go transactions.
[The hi-lighted paragraphs are ways in which at least some of the nearly 47% of U.S. non tax payers are able to get by]
In two supermarkets 50 miles apart, I was the only one in line who did not pay with a social-service plastic card (gone are the days when “food stamps” were embarrassing bulky coupons). But I did not see any relationship between the use of the card and poverty as we once knew it: The electrical appurtenances owned by the user and the car into which the groceries were loaded were indistinguishable from those of the upper middle class.
By that I mean that most consumers drove late-model Camrys, Accords, or Tauruses, had iPhones, Bluetooths, or BlackBerries, and bought everything in the store with public-assistance credit. This seemed a world apart from the trailers I had just ridden by the day before. I don’t editorialize here on the logic or morality of any of this, but I note only that there are vast numbers of people who apparently are not working, are on public food assistance, and enjoy the technological veneer of the middle class. California has a consumer market surely, but often no apparent source of income. Does the $40 million a day supplement to unemployment benefits from Washington explain some of this?
Do diversity concerns, as in lack of diversity, work both ways? Over a hundred-mile stretch, when I stopped in San Joaquin for a bottled water, or drove through Orange Cove, or got gas in Parlier, or went to a corner market in southwestern Selma, my home town, I was the only non-Hispanic – there were no Asians, no blacks, no other whites. We may speak of the richness of “diversity,” but those who cherish that ideal simply have no idea that there are now countless inland communities that have become near-apartheid societies, where Spanish is the first language, the schools are not at all diverse, and the federal and state governments are either the main employers or at least the chief sources of income – whether through emergency rooms, rural health clinics, public schools, or social-service offices. An observer from Mars might conclude that our elites and masses have given up on the ideal of integration and assimilation, perhaps in the wake of the arrival of 11 to 15 million illegal aliens.
Again, I do not editorialize, but I note these vast transformations over the last 20 years that are the paradoxical wages of unchecked illegal immigration from Mexico, a vast expansion of California’s entitlements and taxes, the flight of the upper middle class out of state, the deliberate effort not to tap natural resources, the downsizing in manufacturing and agriculture, and the departure of whites, blacks, and Asians from many of these small towns to more racially diverse and upscale areas of California.
Fresno ‘s California State University campus is embroiled in controversy over the student body president’s announcing that he is an illegal alien, with all the requisite protests in favor of the DREAM Act. I won’t comment on the legislation per se, but again only note the anomaly. I taught at CSUF for 21 years. I think it fair to say that the predominant theme of the Chicano and Latin American Studies program’s sizable curriculum was a fuzzy American culpability. By that I mean that students in those classes heard of the sins of America more often than its attractions. In my home town, Mexican flag decals on car windows are far more common than their American counterparts.
I note this because hundreds of students here illegally are now terrified of being deported to Mexico . I can understand that, given the chaos in Mexico and their own long residency in the United States . But here is what still confuses me: If one were to consider the classes that deal with Mexico at the university, or the visible displays of national chauvinism, then one might conclude that Mexico is a far more attractive and moral place than the United States.
So there is a surreal nature to these protests: something like, “Please do not send me back to the culture I nostalgically praise; please let me stay in the culture that I ignore or deprecate.” I think the DREAM Act protestors might have been far more successful in winning public opinion had they stopped blaming the U.S. for suggesting that they might have to leave at some point, and instead explained why, in fact, they want to stay. What it is about America that makes a youth of 21 go on a hunger strike or demonstrate to be allowed to remain in this country rather than return to the place of his birth?
I think I know the answer to this paradox. Missing entirely in the above description is the attitude of the host, which by any historical standard can only be termed “indifferent.” California does not care whether one broke the law to arrive here or continues to break it by staying. It asks nothing of the illegal immigrant – no proficiency in English, no acquaintance with American history and values, no proof of income, no record of education or skills. It does provide all the public assistance that it can afford (and more that it borrows for), and apparently waives enforcement of most of California ‘s burdensome regulations and civic statutes that increasingly have plagued productive citizens to the point of driving them out. How odd that we over-regulate those who are citizens and have capital to the point of banishing them from the state, but do not regulate those who are aliens and without capital to the point of encouraging millions more to follow in their footsteps. How odd – to paraphrase what Critias once said of ancient Sparta – that California is at once both the nation’s most unfree and most free state, the most repressed and the wildest.
Hundreds of thousands sense all that and vote accordingly with their feet, both into and out of California – and the result is a sort of social, cultural, economic, and political time-bomb, whose ticks are getting louder.

Calexico sound’s VERY suitable. Just build a wall around LA California and then bomb inside the walls.
Brown needs to be put in prison with Killary and the rest of the Deep state AHoles.
Jerry “The” Brown who is trying to BROWN California should be roasted. The boy and fatherless MORON must be IMMEDIATELY arrested as UNFIT to carry out his duties.
Like most Democraps and lieberals they are DELUSIONAL people and should NEVER be in office. I call the boy be ARRESTED immediately for treason and dereliction of duty and breaking his oath to defend the Constitution.
The longer you leave him up there the more destructive the boy will become. You do so at your own risk.
anyone and everyone related to this MUST be prosecuted and imprisoned for conspiracy with regards to international human trafficking!!
This is BS, is just another headline to raise hate
Instead of focusing on giving work to the current citizens (I mean to convince them to work), attention is shifted to this kind of news. What is next? Satanic zionist iluminati masonic aliens invade USA trough air? We need a planet wall…
“What is next? Satanic zionist iluminati masonic aliens invade USA trough air? We need a planet wall…”
I’m thinking they’ll come up through drainpipes. This is BIN. Get with it!
We do not need 1,500 families marching in as invaders or yet another herd intent on illegal colonization ! We already have 700,000 DREAMERS wanting to remain in the USA along with somewhere between 30 to 50 million other illegal aliens. This is going to be the moment of truth for Trump, if he allows any of them in he will be breaking every campaign promise he ever made to voters on the illegal immigration issue. He will be finished and so will America ! These invaders know they will not be shot, our border guards, national guard and military will not be given orders to stop them at any cost. It’s simply not pc and we might “offend” someone. Who MIGHT shot are the Minuteman and American citizens.
This may well be the beginning of the total breakup of America. Obama may have done what he set out to do, destroy America in any and all ways possible. He set the wheels in motion for this invasion to take place and he had many of our elected officials in BOTH political parties helping him.
Brainless Jerry Brown does not know that the Federal Government controls the borders and immigration laws. POTUS Trump needs to arrest Gov. Brown if he does not enforce Federal Laws.
This smells just like the Muslim invasion of Europe. Soros is certainly behind it.
