Mexican Government Reacts To Minutemen's Presence On The Border

reported by Victor Castillo

The Minuteman organization will soon be in the Rio Grande Valley. Their presence has many on the Mexican side of the border concerned over their activities, especially the Mexican Consulate in McAllen.

The Minuteman's first border operation will start this weekend and just as they plan to have their eyes on illegal crossings, the Mexican Government will have their eyes on them.

Miriam Medel, Mexican Consulate spokesperson, tells Action 4 News they'll be very vigilant all weekend. "We want to make sure that no human rights are violated, and make sure that it's only the authorized personnel, the people who have had the training and the mandate to do so, the only ones that are making the arrests" said Medel.

But while the Minuteman volunteers are preparing their operations, immigrants continue to arrive in Reynosa, Mexico, with intentions to cross into the United States. Between sixty to seventy immigrants are given a place to stay every night at the Guadalupe Shelter downtown Reynosa. They are undocumented immigrants who are looking to cross the Rio Grande River at any cost.

Carlos Hernandez is from Mexico City and says he's been deported once. "I'll look for a strategic point to cross the river, I'm hoping to be able to make it" said Hernandez responding to the Minuteman presence along the border.

Central Americans housed at the Guadalupe Shelter say they are aware about the Minuteman group, the National Guard troops and the Border Patrol agents. But the need to help their families and no employment opportunities in their countries, are just some motivations to cross illegally to try to get to their American dream.

"We have to look for ways, we have to do everything possible to escape" said Ever Josué Herrera a Honduran seeking to cross into the United States. "We are asking God with our hearts that the Border Patrol is not in our way" said Herrera.

The Mexican Government has expressed concern with the Minuteman Project, and asks that state and federal measures be taken to safeguard the rights of Mexicans crossing the border illegally.

"If it happens, we are going to ask for the appropriate authority to take those people into custody, to take action against them because they are going to be violating the American law by taking justice into their own hands" said Miriam Medel when describing what the Mexican Consulate will do if they detect that a Minuteman volunteer comes in contact with or arrests a Mexican national trying to cross into the United States.

While condemning the act of detaining migrants by the Minuteman Project, the Mexican Government continues to look for mechanisms that ensure Mexican migration is legal, orderly and respectful to the United States.

The Minuteman's headquarters is planned to be in the area of Mission, Texas, they plan to be on public and also in private land.

Action 4 News has learned that because of the Minuteman's position in the Valley, some human smugglers are now charging between $2,000.00 to $2,500.00 dollars per person, to cross someone illegally into the United States and then taken to Houston.

You were right about that, Sippy!! We surely don't want to violate the rights of criminal interlopers. Idiots.

The part that makes me angry is that king george will probably do what the mexicans want not that they ask it.

It is pretty clear that the man in the White House cares very little for the wants and needs of American citizens unless their name starts with CEO.
(chief executive officer)

How much more of this can we be expected to take?
It's insane!
The border patrol are on OUR soil. What happens on OUR soil is OUR business. If they enter OUR soil then they will face the consquences of their actions....or not. Because the truth is, they know that the border patrol is working as hard as possible but getting little respect from the top and thus they have no real teeth (not their faults). They can't defend our borders with one hand tied behind their backs. So American Patriots (not as Bush called them vigilanties) are doing what the govenment will not do. If these defenders are hurt, prosecuted or in any way deterred by the Mexican people with the blessing of the Mexican govenment then I think it will finally be the final straw for the American people who are just about fed up with this nonsense.
When will this insanity stop? When the American people are respected by our government and more stock is put in our well being and our desires then that of the Mexican government and people who spit on us at every turn. The Mexican government is laughing at us. I have had enough.
I am fed up! Who the heck do they think they are?

Throw the damn consulate out, followed by the U.N, the ACLU, oops, I mean the IICLU, and the reat of those who hate America.

Miriam Medel, Mexican Consulate spokesperson, you sound like you brush your teeth with Preparation H

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They've got alot of nerve acting like this is something we must accept and were interupting their illegal operations!!

Kick the Consulate out of the country. They have no respect for our sovereignty or our laws!

(Yawn) Oh are they demanding something again? (Yawn...)
