Organizer of vigil pledges to resist entry of illegals

Minuteman Project organizer Chris Simcox told a House committee yesterday that Americans are tired of waiting for the government to secure the nation's borders and that he and other civilian volunteers will continue efforts to shut down the flow of illegal aliens into the United States.
"We've written letters, sent faxes and e-mails, made countless calls and held town hall meetings about what is not just a public safety issue but a national security concern," Mr. Simcox told members of the House Government Reform Committee. "But we're done waiting for you to do the job of securing our borders.

"While you're making up your mind about what to do, we're going to continue our Minuteman vigils," he said. "We intend to defend our property and our country."
Mr. Simcox, publisher of a Tombstone, Ariz., newspaper and founder of the Civil Homeland Defense Corps in Arizona, said the success of the Minuteman Project in the state led to an "outpouring of support and volunteerism" from across the country -- with more than 15,000 people offering to man border observation posts this fall from California to Texas.
He said Congress had to consider putting National Guard or U.S. military troops on the border or significantly increasing the number of Border Patrol agents to deal with the threat of illegal aliens, drug smugglers and terrorists.
"I invite you to come out to our border on any given day and I will show you firsthand the lack of homeland security," he said.
His comments came after U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Robert C. Bonner testified that protecting U.S. borders was a matter of national security and that he needed more Border Patrol agents and increased technology to get the job done.
Mr. Bonner declined to give an estimate on the number of agents required, but said it would be "in the thousands." The Border Patrol has 10,700 agents spread along 8,000 miles of U.S. border.
"We hope to gain operational control of the border, meaning there is a high level of probability you will get caught trying to sneak into the United States," he said. "I'm not saying we have the border under control, because we don't and we have a long way to go."
But Mr. Bonner praised a border control initiative in Arizona, saying it was beginning to make a difference in efforts by the agency to prevent terrorists and terrorist weapons from entering the country by reducing the flow of illegal aliens and disrupting smuggling operations.
In his first public mention of the Minuteman Project, Mr. Bonner said the volunteers brought significant press attention to illegal immigration, called those who participated "well-motivated" and said he "values citizen help." He also said he was "grateful" that there were no incidents of violence during the border vigil.
"The Border Patrol historically has valued the support of citizens, which can be particularly important in rural areas of the border," he said. "We're trying to determine if there is a way to more effectively harness citizen volunteers. We are concerned about people getting unnecessarily hurt or killed in what can be a very dangerous and treacherous place."

Bonner is a traitor. He should be treated as one. Sedition comes to mind.
He was so "grateful" he ordered the Border Patrol to stand down on Friday.
Now O'Reilly is reporting that the MMP was SABOTAGED. The Border Patrol was told to turn a blind eye in the area where the MM were. No such order any where else along the border. Same was done to Operation Gatekeeper in Californication.

Time to get my hands dirty:
Jorge is a traitor. He is GUILTY!!!! I just gave him a fair trial and found him GUILTY. I am going to leave it to the jury to set his punishment because I cannot be fair and impartial with this fool. He ran TEXAS into the ground on his way to doing the same to this nation. Do any of you know what his record as governor was here? He met with Fox more times then he did with the leaders of the Texas House and Senate!!!
Texas is responsible for electing him here. The rest of your states are culpable in the other two elections. If you voted for him in 2004, don't u feel like a fool today?
Good. U should. "Compassionate Conservative". Yeah, to Fox and the Mexican Mafia Nazi Party. He holds hands with the Saudi's. The same people that killed over 3,000 of our citizens. He allowed the Bin Laden family to fly out when ALL OTHER AIR TRAFFFIC WAS HALTED!!! He bends over forward for Fox. Him and Blair trumped up the intelligence on Iraq. He and his brother, Mr. " I can't do anything" let Terri Schiavo STARVE TO DEATH!!! He has given contracts to Haliburton and his BOSS, Cheney, with NO BIDS. He has caused the deaths of thousands of young military men and women in this trumped up war. He has put us in a fiscal quandry. He is letting a young Marine Lt. under go court-martial when this man was doing what he took an oath to do, and he could stop it with a signature on an executive order. He is trying to do away with Social Security. Need more? HE REFUSES TO ENFORCE OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS!!!. He is responsible for all the crimes that these illegal's are commiting on our streets from sea to shining sea. I say impeach the smirking chimp before he gets us all KILLED. Yes, that means YOU TOO!!!
He is doing a Mafia "bust out" on this nation. He is the ENEMY WITHIN!!!
This illegal immigration issue is the Trojan Horse of our times. It marks the turning point in the history of this nation and by extension the world.
He was a failed oil man in Midland. He was a failure as a part owner of the Texas Rangers. He is a qualified failure as President of this great nation, and will go down in history as the WORST one EVER!!! And those are the NICE things I can say about him.

Bush can't do anything without CONGRESS. It's the backroom deals that make things happen and we should be putting our energy into EXPOSING CONGRESS. It will be much more effective in the long run.

While Bush is doing his round robin selling this heiferdust........LEGISLATION re: McCAIN/KENNEDY AMNESTY & CAFTA/FTAA are gaining power in the back rooms!!
