Tijuana-San Diego - San Ysidro, CA
March Against
Operation Gatekeeper
The Raza Rights Coalition is making a call to ALL progressive forces to join them on October 2nd, 2004 at San Ysidro. This military operation at the US/Tijuana, Mexico border has caused the deaths of over 3,000 human beings (Mostly Mexicans, Central and South Americans) since its creation in October of 1994.
Join in a protest present to send a message that those of our brothers and sisters that have lost their lives have not been forgotten.
Last year, there was at least one migrant death a day along the entire border. The Mexican consulates in San Diego and Calexico, California reported 134 migrant deaths from January through December of 2001.
Operation Gatekeeper was launched in late 1994. The California part of the U.S.-Mexico border was the testing ground for a strategy aimed at blocking traditional border crossing routes. Well over a billion dollars has been spent on Gatekeeper, but it has not prevented illegal entries -- simply shifted them to the mountains and deserts east of San Diego. Meanwhile, migrant deaths have soared, increasing by 500%. Nevertheless, the U.S. Border Patrol has extended Gatekeeper into Yuma, Arizona. In fact, the strategy of pushing the undocumented foot traffic out of the public eye and into ever more remote and dangerous places has gone border-wide.
