I thought this was pretty funny. Shows him to be pretty clueless about the issues, though. Any thing that brings the attention to the issue, is all good.

Minutecouple ought to be in pictures

One of the big fears permeating the whole debate between the Minutemen and the immigrant-rights people, of course, is that the undesirables in our midst will marry, maybe even have children.

The worst, indeed, has now occurred.

Intruding into my cyberspace on Monday was a press release announcing that a Minuteman and a Minutewoman who met while patrolling the border against marauding Mexicans are getting married Saturday in a "pro-America wedding ceremony."

Deborah Sattler, 45, of Mission Viejo and Britt Craig, 57, formerly of Georgia, "found their dedication to protecting the United States sovereignty and their love of country brought them together. As husband and wife they will work as a team in anti-illegal immigration reform.

"Guests have been asked to attend dressed in red, white and blue" or unspecified "rally wear."

The pair met last year at the border watch in Campo. Sattler is an insurance adjuster and has been described in print as a "soccer mom." Craig is a Vietnam veteran who lost an eye in combat and is now "a full-time Minuteman," according to Sattler. "There isn't much that moves me like this," Craig told a San Francisco Chronicle reporter who covered the border watch. "I like being out in the woods. I love guns. It's very difficult to find that same thing in civilian life."

Not only a marriage made in Campo, but one made for Hollywood. I've taken the liberty of drafting a movie treatment. Here's the final scene of "Border Love":

(BRITT and DEBORAH stand together on a rocky slope on the U.S. side of the border, each looking through a pair of binoculars toward Mexico. Through their lenses we see a Mexican family – father, pregnant mother, two toddlers – carrying shopping bags and looking as if they are getting ready to sneak into the U.S.)

I've got unfriendlies at one o'clock!

Got 'em. Mamacita there looks like she's itching to drop her progeny on U.S. soil. Let that happen and the whole passel of 'em 'll come in, spread disease and suck our welfare system dry.

Yes, not to mention take advantage of our overly generous public school system and possibly one day even attend the University of California at in-state tuition rates! Oh, be careful, Britt – they may be carrying dangerous jugs of nonpotable water and moldy week-old tortillas!

Standin' up to peasants weakened by days spent in the desert ain't easy, but don't fret, missy. The soles of their little brown feet will never tread on American soil!

My hero!

(BRITT makes his way down the hill toward the border and the shot dissolves into a giant American flag. "The Star-Spangled Banner" swells up.)

I hesitated to go with this after reading some concern on the Free Republic Web site that the "mainstream media" would use the press release for its own unAmerican purposes.

"Just make sure the MSM doesn't characterize this as some sort of 'weirdo' event," wrote one concerned blogger. "I'm VERY cognizant that the fast-declining MSM will edit anything down to look like a Kook Fest. If it were me, I'd just go ahead and get married. Not make a political event out of it, which could (and would) be spun by the media as a 'ha-ha' story."

A ha-ha story? What kind of pinko would do that?
