CHRISTIE CZAJKOWSKI’S LIES TO THE MEDIA ABOUT MIGRANT CAMPS

SAN DIEGO, CA – 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. 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.

Once the city announced that the migrants were being evicted in November, we made a couple of follow up recon trips to the canyon to ensure the migrants were gone and not coming back. Czajkowski accompanied us on these trips and videotaped our findings. She posted her video log of this on her YouTube site in June 2007 titled “Secrets of McGonicle Canyon”, parts 1 and 2. She has now removed the videos but we have copies available. They show activists and local residents exploring the abandoned camps and collecting intelligence about these workers from their abandoned papers. We gathered much evidence as to who was hiring these illegal aliens in violation of federal law and turned over much of it to ICE. We also witnessed and videotaped young girl prostitutes being brought in to service the migrants on the afternoon of Dec. 2nd. This prostitution location had been documented by NBC News Los Angeles in September and October and shown to southern California viewers by local NBC News affiliates in November. The prostitution was allowed to continue into December is now the focus of a pending Grand Jury Complaint on the city of San Diego submitted on March 1, 2007.

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. All of these camps and tons of trash left behind were removed during a large, week long cleanup effort by work crews. The city of San Diego promised the public to never again let the migrants illegally camp anywhere in the city. They promised to remove immediately any camps found and the city has removed dozens of shacks and camps in nearby areas over the past 8 months. We applaud their efforts to keep the migrants and their gas stoves out of our canyons, especially during this dangerous fire season.

SDMM continues to work with local city and county officials, law enforcement, ICE and Border Patrol to identify illegal migrant camps throughout the county. The rape and sodomy of a 13 year old boy in Poway recently by a criminal illegal alien migrant camper near a school highlights the importance of keeping large groups of unidentified, unknown foreign men from living in our canyons.

We continue to receive numerous tips from the public about illegal migrant camps and we the residents and citizens of San Diego County, demand that our local governments clear them out when found for the safety and security of our communities.

Christie Czajkowski has also been claiming to the media to have been my girlfriend, but that is false too. We worked closely together on group projects for about 5 weeks in late 2006, but our group decided to terminate her for cause in January. She was never my girlfriend and I actually had to get a restraining order against her when she would constantly call, email, and drive 50 miles to my house and stalk me and refuse to leave my property. The media needs to stop spreading her lies and slander! Police records show her aggressive and vindictive behavior towards me and other Minutemen started in January and continues to this day.
