WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Corruption on the Border Sun Dec 23 01:44:33 2001 Corruption on the Border "Customs Permit Required" This story was recently passed along to the staff of www.CustomsCorruption.com by U.S. Customs and Canadian officials along the northern border. I have been told that there are more than a dozen "unofficial" entry points along the Canadian-U.S. border that exist from as far west as Washington and as far east as Maine, USA. These entry points are NOT staffed by U.S. Federal Agents from either the U.S. Customs Service or the INS or Border Patrol. The photos shown here depict a "privately owned" gated entrance into the U.S. from Canada near St. Zachrie, Canada. (As you can see there is no one standing outside to prevent these lumber trucks from entering the U.S. These trucks were observed entering without inspection.) According to reliable Customs sources on both sides of the border, this particular "private road" was manned by an "unarmed" private security guard who was a "resident alien" that had no authority to stop, search or arrest anyone at this private checkpoint. According to sources, this security guard works for the local "paper company" which employees all these trucks which crosses lumber into, or out of the U.S. from Canada. According to witnesses, there were several incidents where U.S. Citizens have attempted to enter the U.S. near Maine from Quebec through this private road and they were greeted by a "private security guard" who asked for a "Customs Form 1". This security guard claimed that he could not let anyone enter though this private road unless they had a special permit issued by Customs, but that he also had no authority to stop anyone. The security guard informed these citizens that they had to get the permit form the local Customs office.(According to sources, the permit is for access during and possibly "after" hours by hunters, fisherman or various winter sporting events) Only persons with a special permit are allowed to pass according to these sources. On other occasions, persons have been spotted entering the U.S. from Canada after hours by unlocking a special gate which separates the two countries. Since these particular gates have a limited time of operation, it has been noted that "certain" private citizens/residents have accessed the U.S. after hours.(I wonder if these people had to pass a special background check like they do with the Documented Commuter Lane program(DCL) or the P.A.L. program used by the U.S. Border Patrol near San Clemente, California?) Although there are some "official" Customs "unmanned" entry points along the U.S. border, they are still maintained with some sort of security devices like remote control video cameras and listening devices as well as ground sensor units similar to what the Border Patrol uses along the southwest U.S.-Mexican border to catch illegals. When several people asked about the alleged "Customs Form 1" through Customs offices, they were told "it did not exist". According to the Customs PAO at Headquarters, these forms do not exist and "there is no policy for issuing any type of special permits that allow such an entry through a "privately owned" entry point". According to one Customs PAO official, "Someone must be pulling your leg". "All "level one" entry ports must have a Customs or INS official on duty at all times during hours of operation". "Either one or the other, but never a "private security guard", said a Customs Public Affairs Officer. Our only purpose in printing this story is to show you that the U.S. border is not as safe and secure as the administration would have you believe. It is also important to point out that headquarters does NOT know about every little problem that exists at the local levels which is supposed to be handled by area supervisors or Customs Management Centers or Customs District Directors. that is one of the major problems with trusting certain high ranking managers that are corrupt and have "hidden agendas".A similar type of "special permit" was previously exposed on a previous article by www.CustomsCorruption.com regarding yellow laminated "bypass" cards issued by the local District Director or CMC Director for special friends of the directors. Customs headquarters has denied the existence of these cards and failed to investigate their existence. As Editor of this newsletter, I can assure you that I and many others in San Diego have seen and handled these permits. Customs Supervisors have been directed to confiscate any "bypass" card and turn it over to the local CMC director in case the person who possesses it is found violating the laws. The Editor can personally attest to several cards in existence between 1983-1998 and issued by former San Diego District Directors named Alan J. Rappoport and Rudy M. Camacho. The previous incidents were documented and previously turned over to Customs Internal Affairs to no avail. Our intent is to expose these inconsistencies in policy and obtain the proper funding and man power needed to man such entry points along the U.S.-Canada border as well as the U.S.-Mexican border. We do not wish to leave all these entry points open to the likes of these "middle eastern terrorists" which have historically entered the U.S. through Canada, as they would be less likely screened as well as they would on the southern border or at the main international airports. Recent intelligence reports and FBI reports have already admitted that members of the Al Qaeda have entered through Canada to avoid capture. I do not think the American public would appreciate such a lack of concern for the security of their own country.
