Minutemen fighting illegal immigration

By: JEFF SCHWILK - Commentary

When we started the San Diego Minutemen 15 months ago with a few retired Marine friends and concerned citizens, our goal was to bring attention to our wide-open southern border and the problems that it creates in our communities. We never dreamed we would end up in such a war as we find ourselves in now, for the very future of our nation.

One of the biggest obstacles to securing our borders and enforcing federal laws is the large, powerful and well-financed illegal alien/open borders lobby, often led by extremist Latino activists here in San Diego County. With PC-sounding names such as Border Angels; American Friends Service Committee; Coalition for Peace, Justice and Dignity; California Rural Legal Assistance; and, of course, the American Civil Liberties Union, it's no wonder they have been able to influence local leaders during a long campaign of propaganda and public pressure to make their beloved illegal immigrants, mostly from Mexico, virtually untouchable to law enforcement.

Some alien supporters call their coordinated campaign "reconquista" ---- the taking back of land in the American Southwest for Mexico, since it was once inhabited by Mexican Indians centuries ago. Some of these groups also have strong socialist ties and can be very racist toward Americans. Learn more about these groups at SDIllegalActivists.com. We are also battling a local biased media that often refuse to see the important differences between legal immigrants and those who come here illegally. Unfortunately, a disproportionate number of illegal aliens who come here have serious criminal backgrounds, violent gang affiliations and dangerous diseases from Latin America.


Thanks to the tireless efforts of our hundreds of volunteers and thousands of supporters, along with brave leaders like Rick Roberts, Roger Hedgecock, Brian Bilbray, Mark Wyland and the local Hispanic Americans of You Don�t Speak For Me, San Diegans are now wide awake to the numerous dangers of an unchecked illegal immigration system that threatens our schools, health care and justice systems, as well as our safety, jobs and quality of life.

We all realize San Diego was created by immigrants and we all come from immigrant families. We will always welcome legal immigrants from all over the world who come here the right way, learn the American language (English), respect our laws, citizens, and values, and play by the rules. Obviously, assimilation is the key to maintaining our melting pot tradition.

We at SDMM will continue to demand a secure border and strong enforcement of immigration laws, especially against law-breaking employers who hire illegal aliens for cheap labor, which creates the magnet for the continuous flow of economic refugees from poor countries. We have made tremendous gains in the past year reversing this invasion and anarchy, but there is so much more to do. We must keep the pressure on our local, state and federal governments and law enforcement. See all of our ongoing projects and accomplishments at . We will continue to spread the truth and work with local authorities to help make San Diego�s communities safer for all our residents.

Oceanside resident Jeff Schwilk is the founder of the San Diego Minutemen.

Floyd wrote on February 15, 2007 8:16 PM:"The most important, unreported fact about the influx of illegal aliens is that they are trespassing into our country. If you came home and found it had been broken into by people who took your possessions and handed you a bill for their medical treatment while they were wiring $23 Billion out of the country, you would call the authorities and have them removed. The Minutemen are making those calls to the authorities -- and more power to them! "

I will say this: I do not support the bush Administration and their sneaky ways of preparing us for the north American Union. Two years ago the Bush Administration quietly pushed through legislation loopholes that allow banks to give illegal Aliens credit cards. The center of disease control CDC is under strict orders not to identify disease thought to be of illegal Alien origin, and that is why they never identify race or names. The nations Guard cannot guard and the Border Patrol cannot shoot or chase. The more Illegal Aliens break into our country the more American Taxpayers have to carry the burden. Even though the majority of people want illegal Immigration stopped the American government is not acting. What is wrong with this picture?"

Go to the Megan’s law website and check the names and pictures for you city. Simply read the North County Times Newspaper, and keep track of the stories that they do identify the illegal Aliens (You may have to look for the code words). The information is out there, and it is not pretty. How many hit-and run accidents in Escondido lat year, and why do you think why? Look at the gang problems in San Diego and realize that there are either roots from Mexico or members who are illegal Aliens. As our economy slows and Construction slows there will be a lot of out of work and desperate Illegal Aliens amongst us."

La Raza Cosmica wrote on February 15, 2007 10:34 PM:"35 years ago, socialist Chicanos imagined the fable of Aztlan. Read 'The Plan of Aztlan'. It is a fable of hate and racism. It is a fable because California was never part of Aztlan. The California indians never migrated to Mexico City. Never! Further, nearly all Mexicans stayed in California and became Americans after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The are no displaced native Californianos in Mexico. But radical Chicanos created this fable of hate and racism for teaching young native latinos and illegal immigrants in order to get them to believe that California was unjustly stolen from La Raza. The fruits of this indoctrination fable can be viewed by searching for 'raging racist' on the internet. Illegal immigration must be stopped until the Plan of Aztlan, Brown Power, and La Raza hate groups are exposed, marginalized, and immigrants can come without being seduced by fables of hate and racism."

"One of the biggest obstacles to securing our borders and enforcing federal laws is..." NOT extreme latino activist groups. Get real Jeff. The greatest obstacle to regulating the borders is something Schwilk cannot control. It is the market forces of the capitalist system that runs the world. Employment demand created by consumers like Schwilk is the big magnet attracting labor. The more activist groups like SDMM push to squeeze the supply of immigrant labor, the bigger the black market for labor will grow. Schwilk and his ilk are not protecting me. They are harrassing the weakest among us - the easy targets."

Mexico should solve their own problems, instead they're pushing them onto us. We can't take care of everybody in the world."

we can't do it wrote on February 16, 2007 12:09 AM:"We, the U.S., may have accepted a regulated and controlled number of immigrants in the past depending primarily upon the need of our country. That doesn't translate into either the ability or the obligation to accept an unlimited number of immigrants today or an infinite number tomorrow -- as many somehow expect us to do. And, previous generations of immigrants either found a way to contribute and be self-supporting or went back home -- not to the local welfare or Social Security office. And, past immigrants were willing to become Americans, rather than demand that Americans cater to them and everybody "like them". The notion that we are or ever were an open border "nation of immigrants" country is a relatively recent fabrication foisted on us primarily by ethnicity first and foremost type lobbies and individuals using politically correct blackmail techniques to get whatever they wanted. Of course, they did find some fairly willing partners in greedy businesses, overly compliant unprofessional media, hate-America foundations, politicians looking to buy votes cheaply, and churches wanting to expand political influence. I don't know what we will have accomplished in the end when we wake up one day and discover the U.S. has become exactly what the illegals were running away from -- or more likely something even worse than that. The near equality of global wretchedness, I guess. "

I find it interesting that this article is well written which would lead one to think that the Minutemen are rather well spoken, but when I've heard them speak it doesn't come across that way. They seem to get a little too full of themselves. I also find it intersting that the pro-illegal groups immediately label anyone opposing illegal immigration as racist.

I gather that by posting the term "Korean Sluts” Edward is making a character attack against Steve Schwilk. There is no mention of this term in this story and many readers may not make the connection on why this is allowed to be posted. I think the NCT is wrong in allowing this derogatory term to be posted even if it fits Edward Sifuentes agenda of Open borders. How about we cut out the yellow journalism and sensationalism and get back to reporting the news. If these disparaging terms are allowed to be freely written about Koreans, then I think all other nationalities should be fair game. What do the Koreans have to with Illegal Immigration anyway? The next biggest group after the Hispanics is the Chinese.

Greasing the palms of the lower paid mexican officials who dont make that much money anyway is simply a way of life .........but thats mexico right? Wrong! With the taking down of Duke Cunningham, from San Diego, the U.S. town closest to the most busy international port in the world at Tiajuana, is it any wonder that this graft has migrated over the line from mexico? I sincerely think that the Social Security system (Hitler had the SS, We have the SSS?) need to be reformed, there is a lot of talk about IOU's being put into the SSs's general fund, and that baby boomers will outstrip the cash on hand at some point in the future. So why arent the politicians on any side (left, center or right) really talking about it? The answer is the lowly impoverished illegal alien from south of the border. The illegal aliens AKA the alien foreign nationals, are here in droves using false Social Security cards ( how easy are these paper cards to make anyway?) in order to obtain Illegal working status. In effect they are proping up Social Security!!! The system wont go broke if there is a chunk of people putting "payola" into the system right? This is one of the main reasons politicians wont address directly the Illegal allien mess, the graft and corruption from mexico is too strong for the raiders that are sacking the SS system. Heres the problem though, the Social Security system has a unique number for every valid participant. by using anothers number for contribution you have essentialy comited identity theft as this number is part of the Identity of the person it was issued to. I am going to go to the SS office and find out what would happen to my personal Social Security number if 10K illegal aliens were using it to contribute Payola into my account? Would I be able to retire with benefits or would they be denied because someone stole my number and illegaly contributed to my misfortune? We will find out. Stay tuned... - MAtt "

Robert wrote on February 17, 2007 6:11 AM:"Slut is a pejorative term for a person (usually female) who is more sexually promiscuous than is deemed socially acceptable. The term has traditionally been applied to women and is generally used as an insult or offensive term of disparagement. Slut has also been reclaimed as a slang term in the BDSM, polyamorous and gay and bisexual communities. It may be used by the person concerned as an expression of pride in their status, or as an expression of enviousness in the "success rate" of others. The term is not interchangeable with whore or prostitute as those terms denote a person who engages in sex for money."

I have watched the news and gone to the minutemenunvarnished website and I wonder what part of "illegal" do the minutemen not understand? They are the most lawless people I have seen acting out in public. Unfortunately, Honey according to our very own U.S. Constitution the immigrants are protected under equal protection under the law. If you read the 14th Amendment for yourself you will see the reason that the immigrants "illegal" or not can not be touched by law enforcement. Please tell me why you think Immigration officers are not out there rounding up these "lawbreakers"? Because they can't touch them. So Jeff Schwilk is trying to blame everyone who opposes him except our own government who can not do a thing about this problem. I think what they want to do is noble in deed but how they are going about it is NOT. "
