christians are celebrating christmas with churches and cathedrals across russia holding all night vigils here in the russian russian capital of moscow is leading the liturgy of christ the savior cathedral we'll bring you live pictures as that service takes place at the moment here in moscow. and we'll continue to bring you more coverage from crisis in the next hour here on. one are tempted by big city life then disillusion the tragic and turbulent story of a modern day revolutionary living on the us mexico border that's our special report next here on r.t. . and the immigration bill goes down in the senate that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo critics of arizona's newly signed immigration bill

say it allows police to stop anyone on the street based purely on the person's appearance governor brewer's response when asked by a reporter what illegal immigrant looks like. i do not know i do not know what legal immigrant that's like but the sticking point is what to do with the millions of people who are in this country in this country illegally that the u.s. government will have no idea who they are and where they are in this very dangerous time that is a very dangerous thing. that came from an other country. when i ran around and around the america of the big. one but the people in mexico that need help oh yeah i call those people my lazy family they didn't want to come on the trip. was to help them yes every year i send them

a map. i wrote the bill that the that the president signed in october that takes the san diego fancy eight hundred fifty four miles across arizona new mexico and texas and it's mandatory. but it's not for the very delayed years not by. the structural review it is their. lives and legally blind legally.

it understanding now in all of these holy books where profits go off into the desert and somehow the isolation brings into a spiritual revelation. started a little ways back say towards the end the last summer it started i am me out here so i was just so into this place you know i know all the animals here it's really bizarre you just become part of it. came out here a very hard person very conservative things from my youth started coming up things about spirit about

a danity with the earth and looking at people in different situations. i had to go to mexico oddly enough to go to a dentist if that a funny i'm outsourcing myself. was there i noticed how much poppy was in the town and it's a fairly decent town. that's when i started noticing the look in the migrants face i mean there is poor design capital and you know they're at the bottom of their world basically i have to work almost every day i'm at the bottom of my world. i'm a analog man in the digital world.

going back into the area we're going back into and pretty much got to make sure you are. the girl is what they're going to. march into drug dealers or anything like that there's a lot of rattlesnakes back there. and they tend to get them to finally you know nobody you have or you know if you get a shark and when you. talk about this noise. bothers people. already and we're on our way to. the best highway that leads to america i grew up in the sixty's i participated in a lot of the marches that were back then i was a young kid i was fifteen years old ran away with the hippies. all of this started least stimulating and it's unfortunate because like i say i know how much they have

to deal with over the years and it's nonsense but on the other hand it's polluting my society and we're starting to get like that over there is here is one of the major trails into the united states so. you can see how well walk this is. like a trail in a park in central park. place you can down here when they come in coyotes use these things for the markets so when he's coming in he sees the reflection of the light of this the rest of the can is black he takes his people past. slips the can around when he's making his return the moonlight lights up his little silver bottom. and he and he's out.

there are four of us. we are from when we come from the same area we're all friends. if catches us and throws us back. we'll go back together the four of us. we have to look for other ways to earn money we have to work outside the area we live to find a bit of money. in mexico we get paid one hundred pesos per day for nine months that's about seven us dollars but now one hundred pesos a day isn't enough food costs about fifty pesos over there for example what we just did here cost fifty pesos before tax we are in a day is only enough to eat twice

a day and then the money is gone down when you're the father of the son and go for one two or three years to work make a little money buy stuff for. us to build a house in our hometown. chicago a small house where we can live. to be and those are the ones that think there is a use their heads. best among those that don't use their heads come back the same. without any money. water bottles. so it's good. mexican i did. then we both know and i religious when you know not only what they

do if they're going to lose these id cards they melted a picture because if i when i give this to the border patrol you know you're in this country illegally there. and. they're going to be looking for you. i wonder if this is your necklace as well. so a picture from maybe just sixty's you know. what a mustache. lady of guadalupe which just happens to be the treaty that we've got up there on the border. well i'll do is i'll take these turn these into border patrol and you know she's got any wants warrants or anything like that know that as well. as a lot of criminals come to you too and. that's one of biggest problems we've got. to start getting that stopped. so we're on the main trail right here but you can notice that there's trails coming in other places this right he had his trail it's

leading up like this it doesn't look like much but that you will follow it it leads to that white panel up in the distance that's where the border mocker is it's like an up less you know washington monument to put their backs against it and it kind of walk up the wall and all the trails that come up in the canyon they're all going to join us up in here and you going to see did this is pretty much. the central figure and coming into camp which self twenty eight it was overlooked by early a minute man but i'm the kind of guy who doesn't mind getting his pants dirty so i come out here you know. we are going. out with. that can you take my bag please. i'm going to take more people yes are you going to take this truck or about one

yeah how here and how fare yes or where you're guys yeah we're here oh you're all here. yes. so what are we waiting for. we want to. thank. you. for. not this truck. if you think. you're. going to go. through that flow i think on which i was. well if we get through it's good. it's an individual go well and we don't make it

over well we'll try again you know if not then too bad there's no other solution. than we can only wait for god. can i do so he can free our power and let us pass. obviously days. some tracks up here. looks like somebody had walked up behind us and. we're going to look at them in case we have to call them into border patrol.

ok so what we got here you see just round the front that means that they were in a border it's a piece of fabric they were up around issues so they don't leave an exact printed issue you'll get rid of it by the time they get up to the good ninety four and he's run back pretty much. and this. yeah i'm a good guess this is like a kid's play toy so maybe they were carrying the kid with them and it could drop that they musta been kind of a panic because they musta seen the headlights coming back down on him like tends to get it. but it didn't mark these food footprints of mine so that people know who was here so we'll put him in amman and the border patrol sees if they know minutemen were here during a real sense and call it in because we don't know which way he had it he could have

gone that way and that way or both so there's somewhere around this right now but i don't have my night vision with us otherwise we will go out and visit them. i am i have come clean. to. get all the. country.

ok. yeah. he'd have. to keep my hero martin if you're up

if you want to go right back to your. room to be. very. clear no need to you got to you've got to be kidding me betty. you came here to protest you don't believe in the stands with too many of us not only that you know sometimes you know he's very divisive and we like to call him the father of eight but he didn't just say the ads promoting division in doing voiceovers and scaring people some of the tactics that are used today. yeah how do you get stuff oh so pretty that. got it right here. hell you can't stop us i'm sure you're out here in the u.s.

government built a wall between the united states and mexico we were totally opposed to that so what happened was as of december of an october of one thousand nine hundred eighty four almost seventy percent of dying passed in the desert well before it was very rare to have somebody dying maybe one or two people a month also you start having one or two people a day running the desert. so what happened was we said we've got to do something about this. i want to thank all of you for joining us i mean you come out on as you know that we have some of new people that are right here for the for the first time i'm glad that you're all out here so the first thing that we do not miss out in the maybe some bugs or whatever is how flip the rock up to this kind of get out quickly because if you see the same thing with this. and then now. you know we make noise for the prosecutors to be scattered around. this well that's pretty good. one has a whole case in the gallants look at the thing they don't need to be refurbished however it doesn't have extra water if you have a lot of it we have a lot of water with us so maybe somebody can go in grab

a couple of gallons just be a couple of gallons. the migrants when they're crossing they don't know what this is they just see it in their extracted too and so one of the things that we've been doing one of the times when i was on the today show actually the guy said you should get some solar little lights and we do have on some night out here and in other areas because they're crossing at night that when he sees late at night they're attracted to him. and we've asked the border patrol not to do is to drive around us. and drive the tires or whatever no i think if you just want prisoners what they'll do is they'll drag around here and if they see footprints then they know somebody around here we say don't do that because we want the biker that needs the water to get the water we want to dial and you don't want to get out here you.

know while. max was that johnny lies to me

gentlemen over naco arizona what you congratulations has gone brother have been up here in about six weeks yeah they've been in civilization you know all their jumping over there come and. oh look i want to get to england and back you build a new bathroom. strip out this trailer easy for storage so we can kind of clean up the action for everything and i'm sure you can look tidy the. still operating over still on. the border yes the done here for you and. so all. oh yeah there's a fun year last week. oh actually there's two things and a lot of anyone got to go do you guys have been supplying me pre-light is for the longest time ok well i asked the drummer if that's the left is to brush up here you says no it's not to rush so i look at the whole picture it's not just

a tooth brush we have a rock on the well we have a lot on the wall so we want the point in the city to want where is it going it's born from or go to the usa they can climb up that dirt go right over the fence make a beeline and go like highway ninety four. these are kind of people like frank this fright for because they bought land down here sort of they could live comfortable have a nice ranch not have to worry about things. by themselves a nice piece of the property and they wind up having to put up with all of this get it eight foot gate get all these dogs live every night defensively that's not the way it should be in america.

pay i was going drove you so you could see you you know a little but here yeah they're coming over the fence by the hundreds every night at i watch them sometimes i'll sit out and you can with my binoculars and i can sit i can watch him come over and you call border patrol and you know i watch them they run run down my property i watch them run down the side one time they had a small child with them and they were dragging that smart that child trying to get away trying to hide they saw me and i saw them and they knew it and they were that poor little kid i felt so sorry for and they left him. they left one yeah they left one letter and another one and come back just it was in the news today it wasn't really all year old kid they left here for eight days how many times would you say that come across your property it's got to be almost every night it's like it is almost every night they come by here they're coming this road or behind us on this

other side and when they come through here they're moving they're still close to the border the border is right there so they're still running so the dogs alerted us. and the dogs do have a chop and a service and that's their service it's why we have them we love our dogs but they also perform and shop. roger good cop you want to see the correlation between the red pickup truck we saw there this morning i wonder if there's any connection copy. she did original concept of the minutemen project man we're just going to bunch of

old farts this gentleman right here he was with us in arizona back in zero five when it oh i started and i hear what is are we still protecting the border for some sort of more of a troll how many of us are there why six total us and that's of the original concept everybody else is out of you know donald's parking lots are both senators are chasing legislation to stop employers no you got it all wrong got to close the border we've got to seal the border. that will solve problems coming down here and sitting on this line day in and day out day in and day out night and day two the weather hot cold stop being the cockroaches from coming over the wire is protecting the country. in two thousand and five it was the statements of popping up called the minute that have

a half dozen people and all they do is a hand out of their time when they go to start taking credit for all these detentions but the thing is they have been a total failure. because when they really do need somebody when they turn somebody over to the border patrol it will be just purchased the border patrol has to give that report to the mexican consulate they have to do this along an international agreement and they need to know the crime so it was the minimum that did it and the minimum point is some people out that's in the report. in the more than two years that the minimum amount there's been less than one hundred people that have been stopped because of the minimum. that's going to be.

the close up team has been to docu stuff first plays to the most ambitious football

club in the world. no argy goes to the far east where the timber industry attracts the legendary siberian tigers where the ancient native community loses its weight in the modern world. and where the country's mineral wealth starts its way across the ocean. well come to the front bar screech of russia blows up on our t.v. . movie.
