Jeff Schwilk sent me a press release last night that offers his side of the migrant worker camps story.
Here’s some of the main points contained in that press release, which is headed “Christie Czajkowski’s lies to the media about migrant camps.”
On Christie:
Christie Czajkowski, who was fired from the San Diego Minutemen in January for her reckless public actions, and has been fired from at least 7 other ant-illegal immigration groups in the past 12 months for her erratic and irresponsible behavior, has recently provided carefully edited videos to the San Diego Media claiming to show vandalism in McGonigle Canyon in late November and early December.
On the footage:
THESE CLAIMS ARE 100% FALSE and can be easily verified by witnesses that were there, as well as SDPD who was present during many of our recon missions to the canyon camps which began in August 2006. It is no secret that SDMM assisted local Penasquitos residents in ridding McGonigle Canyon of 300-400 illegal alien squatters from private and city property in late 2006. By working closely with the property owners, SDPD, Mayor Sanders, and radio host Rick Roberts, we helped convince the responsible parties to humanely evict the squatters from our canyons and this finally occurred in Nov and Dec 2006. The chapel was also removed by the property owner soon after. No SDMMs are known to have done any vandalism or to the chapel before it was destroyed by the migrant activists.
And:
The abandoned migrant shacks shown in the videos were all vacated by the squatters and awaiting removal by the property owners which finally occurred a few weeks later in December.
