    Hannity's actions at border raises ire of Arizona Dems

    Border Patrol, Minutemen Have Double Standard on Immigration

    PHOENIX, AZ (April 20, 2005) - Apparently the U.S. Border Patrol believes that national TV and radio stars don't have to play by the same rules as others.

    Mr. Sean Hannity, a well-paid commentator for Fox News, climbed over a barbed wire fence separating the United States from Mexico yesterday at about 3:15 p.m. A few minutes later he climbed back over the fence, breaking federal law by reentering the U.S. illegally.

    Mr. Hannity's border violations were videotaped by ACLU Legal Observers. The Border Patrol was contacted, but they chose not to arrest or cite Mr. Hannity for his willful violation of federal law. Likewise, Minutemen in the vicinity of the incident did not take the opportunity to turn Mr. Hannity over to federal officials, as they have allegedly done with all other illegal immigrants apprehended on the border this month.

    Federal law, specifically 19 U.S.C. Section 1459(a), requires all "individuals arriving in the United States other than by vessel, vehicle, or aircraft [to] enter the United States only at a border crossing point designated by the Secretary; and immediately report the arrivals and present themselves, and all articles accompanying them for inspection; to the customs officer at the customs facility designated for that crossing point."

    According to 19 U.S.C. Section 1459(e), anyone who intentionally enters the United States at a place other than a designated border crossing can be imprisoned for up to one year and fined up to $5,000. Mr. Hannity faces neither of these penalties. Individuals apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol do.

    This is the very same crime that Minutemen have traveled across the country to Arizona to stop. While some may argue that Mr. Hannity's actions were not significant, he committed the same crime that all individuals who enter the country illegally commit. In fact, ACLU observers were warned that they would be arrested if they accidentally or deliberately crossed the border and tried to reenter the U.S.

    Why is U.S. Border Patrol demonstrating such an obvious double standard? If the Minutemen came to Arizona to watch the border for signs of illegal immigration, why did they fail to report Mr. Hannity?

    There is only possible conclusion. The Minutemen and the Border Patrol have one set of rules for television celebrities, and another for hard-working people who cross the border in search of work.

    ================================================== ====

    They fail to mention that the fence is a good 3 feet inside the border, thus no violation occurred.

    So Hannity did that? Wow, I take back some of the bad things I've said about him for the last week or so. You go Sean.

    I heard him arguing with the woman who wrote this piece on my car radio yesterday and they were going at it hot and heavy.

    I still think he is a johnny come lately to the cause.

    Did he just notice the problem this month?

    Not very observant is he.

    Does he question why Bush isn't doing something?

    Just another Bush boot-licker.

    I totally agree and he's got some work to do to shed the Bush boot-licker label, but this is a start.

    well...

    While most major media talks about this issue from time to time, Lou Dobbs, at least to me, seems very sincere in his endeavor to expose and keep in the forefront the illegal immigration issue! I trust my gut instincts, not that they are always right, but most of the time they are and I feel deeply that Lou Dobbs knows and cares about what is happening to our Country. He seems determined to keep this issue in everyones faces and that is what it is going to take! I know in my heart it is making an impact! Unlike other media that takes and leaves the issue, Lou seems to understand and empathize with the American citizens (natural and legal).

    I am thankful that we have him on our side! I think in a large part to him, the average American citizen is finally waking up!

    Guys, the fire has been lit and it is turning into a wildfire! It will not be stomped out easily!

    Keep the faith and keep fighting! Politicians and pro-illegal groups need to understand we are not going away, we are serious about protecting this country and our childrens future! Consider me a mother bear! I will protect my children against danger at all costs and I consider my childrens future threatened! Claws and teeth are out there!
    Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God

    RR,

    CNN is running a special on immigration on Sunday night. I can't remember the title they've given it but it should be worth watching. I think they said at 8 p.m EST.
