Southern exposure
South Texas landowners inundated by criminal element illegally entering the U.S. from Mexico...
Part 1 of a Two-Part Series

Especially since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the ease with which people illegally cross over into Texas from Mexico and the high numbers entering have become increasingly worrisome. Many South Texas landowners, who in the past have not felt particularly threatened by immigrants coming here to seek work, no longer feel safe in their own homes and on their own properties. Drug and human trafficking are occupying a big portion of local law enforcement officials' time and draining limited resources. Ranchers are growing weary of vandalism, theft, littering, cut fences and roaming livestock. Some feel they are witnessing an erosion of the American way of life due to illegals burdening the nation's health care and education systems. What's worse is many believe the federal government has failed in its most fundamental duty to its citizensâ€â€Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at http://eepurl.com/cktGTn

But the Minutemen were not welcomed by all. In September, Cameron County officials passed a resolution opposing citizen border patrols, citing respect for immigrants, confidence in federal law enforcement and a shared history with Mexico. The resolution against "the presence of Minutemen or other vigilante groups" passed unanimously during a meeting of the Cameron County Commissioners Court in Brownsville. The language stated: "The safe and legal passage of immigrants and foreign visitors to Cameron County is important to the civic life of our county. The future growth of Cameron County depends on the continued good will of our brothers in Mexico."Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
