What does that picture look like to you? Blonde Sagacity says it’s a Rape Tree.
Those are women’s underwear, hung as trophies by the guides — the Coyotes — who routinely rape the Meixcan women they “help” to the U.S. border:
Reason #4,323 to support the Minutemen...- - - - - - - - - -
It seems that when woman employ the “guides” that take you across the Mexican -U.S. border (called “Coyotes”), one thing these women must endure is the routine practice of being raped and as a visual reminder to all that come after —her bloodstains are left in the dirt and her panties are hung from the branches of a tree.
“This is the picture that pro-immigration advocates don’t want you to see....
It is time the American people put a stop to the travesty of our open borders. It is time to understand that “open borders” means they are open to every kind of evil, including gang rape and human trafficking.
For any decent, law-abiding American, to see a rape tree is to gaze upon the face of the enemy of civilization. To see the blood-stained ground beneath them is to behold the faces of their victims...

It would seem that any self-respecting feminist would have to be against the illegal immigration that gives these horrible people the power and opportunity to treat woman and children this way...
“Self-respecting feminist”? That’s become an oxymoron. The so-called leaders — ah hell, let’s call them what they are: leaderettes — are way too concerned with making sure that every undergraduate in America has been subjected to the Vagina Monologues to care about poor, dumb foreigners getting themselves raped. I mean, how boring and predictable can you be? Feminists have to explore the inner self, they have to re-birth themselves (no, I’m not making this stuff up).
Never, ever hold your breath waiting for American feminists to show up for anything that is not in their immediate self-interest.
As Blonde Sagacity says, this practice of the one of the thousands of reasons the Minutemen came into existence. It’s a darn shame that President Bush and his administration — as John Bolton recently put it in another context — are so “limp-wristed” about our sovereignty.
You have daughters, President Bush. Think about it.
Yes, yes… I know it’s old news. But it was new to me. And rape is ever ancient, ever new. Each one is a shattered individual. Each one adds to the evil in the world.
You may already know about these abundant trees, but I didn’t. And I presume there are others like me who didn’t know either. For example, was this horror ever on the front page of the New York Times for months? Directly below the Abu Ghraib pictures, right? And they ran the stories repeatedly, didn’t they, demanding that Congress do something to stop this horror?
Sure they did.

oh, heavens, no. We've hardly gotten started yet, boy. Actually, it got so tedious I lost track of the numbers around 1510.
You know how it is -- once you've seen one pogrom you've seen them all. Those I must say that taking out the Hindus down the road last week was fun -- all that yoga, they sure can run when they got a mind to...
Exploitation rears its ugly head in many ways - the poor Mexicans are just the latest. Your comments on feminism carry so much more weight, coming from you.
I have read about incidents like this for a 2-3 years now, but I am especially tuned into the out of control immigration situation in my country (USA).
This is allowed to occur so business can have their cheap labor and diversity/multi-culturalist, liberal politicians can have their new constituency.
Mexico is a chronically corrupt, inefficent nation for decades (centuries?), yet we in the US enable the corruption in Mexico to continue when what we need to do is give Mexico a dose of "tough love" and stop enabling their corruption which includes their sending of millions of their peasants to the US and thereby avoid having to really reform their mis-managed government.

Absolutely. It is the most vulnerable who pay the bigget price for this disgusting situation.
We don't have the national will to stop this any more than we have it to stand up to terrorism.
This is just a tiny piece of the mosaic of our rotting political environment.
What we find down there when are patrolling near the border are used tampons. Apparently, the women crossing are advised to make the trek during that *special* time of the month in order to discourage this type of activity.
Unfortunately for us, they leave the tampons scattered about the ground. Quite disgusting.
Minuteman--
Not to get too graphic or anything, how do you know that they don't take them out prior to being raped? For some men, menstruation is not an impediment to rape. Having counseled raped women, I can vouch for that.
Agreed, they should have been meticulous enough to dig a hole and bury the thing...I mean, how thoughtless of them.
If you married, ask your wife: would she rather be raped with or without a tampon in place.
Heavens to betsy, Mr. M. -- get a clue.
BTW, tampons being as expensive as they are, I'm surprised you don't find plain old rags...or do you?
Dymphna,
We obviously can't interview the women, but from what we learn in a roundabout way, that is what happens sometimes. I used the word 'apparently' because that is what we think is happening.
I get your sarcasm about burying them. Haha it's really not funny. They leave a trail of trash from the Rio Grande to wherever they are going. They just throw trash as a matter of course. Have you ever been to most any Latin American city? It is like that everywhere. Latinos do not like picking up trash.
I am not married, so I will ask my girlfriend.
Illegal aliens get a lot of stuff donated to them by various groups. Tampons are most likely one of those items.
Why the hate? You have hurt my feelings. I am going to go to my gun safe and cry now.
Liberals Hate Actual Democracy
The strategy of liberals is to fight small countries such as Serbia and do not touch countries-troublemakers such as Iraq, no matter who is right and who is wrong. The war in Iraq is a war with a real enemy – terrorism. On the other hand, the war in Serbia was a war with an artificial enemy. Kosovo for Serbia is the same as Philadelphia for the US. Liberals gave a part of Czechoslovakia to Hitler in the late of 1930's and Kosovo to terrorists in our days. Hitler also tried to take Kosovo from Serbia and to make "Big Albania." Terrorists hate democracy. Liberals also hate an actual democracy. Terrorist Alexandr Ulyanov threw a bomb to a Russian Tsar. His younger brother was a famous liberal-socialist-communist Vladimir Ulyanov-Lenin. Terrorists and liberals are brothers.

I agree. And Victor David Hanson would agree with you, too. Don't have his recent link, though.
An eastern European wrote an essay for us in which she described what illegal immigrants had done in trashing small towns in Mexifornia...which is why her family moved east.
Of course, Europeans claim we're slobs, too -- which we can be.
Don't tear up *too* much...it would prevent you from guarding the borders!
"It would seem that any self-respecting feminist would have to be against the illegal immigration that gives these horrible people the power and opportunity to treat woman and children this way..."
Open-borders feminist liberals could argue that the rapes are being caused by the restrictive immigration laws. And they would have a point. The rapes could be stopped either by opening up legal immigration or by cracking down on smuggling. The fact that many Mexican women are prepared to endure such treatment seems to mean that they prefer the option of illegal migration, plus the risk of rape, to no migration at all. So cracking down on smuggling would appear to leave those women worse off than at present, whereas opening up legal immigration would obviously be to their advantage. Using the rapes as an argument for closing your border is like a liberal trying to shut down child labor in Third World countries and not concerning himself with the result that the children are thereby thrown onto the street.
Immigration policy has to be justified on the basis of your national interest, not that of Mexican immigrants.
Good post, Dymphna.
It may be old news, but it is important to keep it fresh until something is done about it. It's not old to everyone. I had no idea there was that aspect to the problem along the border until reading your post.
