in this a.m.'s ventura county star paper there is a lengthy article that starts with the recent event at casas involving the guy and girlfriend who
were robbed, assaulted,etc. it then talks about other attacks, robberies,etc. that have been discussed on this board, and it even mentions baja nomad
website as having several stories in regards to bad happenings in baja and people should check for government travel warnings before heading out.Barry A. - 11-20-2007 at 11:59 AM
This is the same incident that the LA Times and CNN covered, so it IS getting into the mainstream media-------that's a start.
And David K (plus several others) IS doing something proactive and effective-----see his post about contacting "Vince" of the Immigration Service,
etc.
There ARE good things beginning to happen-------dccf - 11-20-2007 at 12:04 PM
Got a return e-mail from Vince this morning. He will be out of the office until December 3rd.reefrocket - 11-20-2007 at 11:15 PM
Bet he's not vacationing in Ensenada or north to the boarder.David K - 11-21-2007 at 06:47 PM
I did drop off the letter at Vince's home, and nobody was there... so most likely he's on vacation... If he contacts me about it, I will encourage him
to come here to Nomad and have a direct voice to us!

Agreed, bashing makes no sense. But, to be clear, just WHAT do you expect him to accomplish, and how?bancoduo - 11-21-2007 at 07:17 PM
Ole Vince is just being a good bureaucrat waiting for instructions from above. This is a hot subject. He's a PR guy! Good luck. "GROW UP"Sallysouth - 11-21-2007 at 07:50 PM
Ok. banco, who is supposed to "GROW UP"? Lost me there but that is not unusual!And to Reefrocket, where the heck are you ?Also Kudos to David for taking the time and energy to try get some action/responce.Good on ya !!Roberto - 11-21-2007 at 08:03 PM
Sally, most of the time, most people have NO IDEA what bancoduo is talking about. That includes him. So, don't worry about it. bajaguy - 11-21-2007 at 08:09 PM

I would hope that Vince passes this info to the sector chief. The head honcho needs to know what his people are (not) doing. They need to take care of
US citizens, and that action the other night was NOT a good example.Roberto - 11-21-2007 at 08:23 PM

Just to be clear, you believe these folks are currently completely in the dark about what's (and has been) happening?bajaguy - 11-21-2007 at 08:37 PM
nope, but doesn't hurt to hit em again....although I believe that the sector chief may not be getting the whole picture from his people4baja - 11-23-2007 at 07:04 AM
thanks pappy for the news. this dec. im really thinking about staying at el cardon were theres people rather then stying at our old haughnt. with all
these reports of crime i think it would be wise to be around other campers and shuttle our selfs up to our favorite spots rather then take the chance.
thanks.pappy - 11-23-2007 at 09:51 AM
4baja-hope to see ya at you know where.it is getting sketchy for sure....CaboRon - 11-23-2007 at 11:47 AM
I NEVER stop in Norte anymore...... anymore than I would stop in East LA.

i'm for sure not going to do anymore early a.m. border assaults....it WAS nice to be able to hit it around 4am, then slip through and get to el
rosario before everybody was out and about.
