Editorial | Vigilantes at the Border Thanks, but stick to your day job


The West is wild enough without vigilantes patrolling the Mexican border.

Dubbing their operation the Minuteman Project, scores of volunteers - some of them armed - have taken it upon themselves to watch out for illegal immigrants trying to cross the border. Many of them were recruited over the Internet.

Some of these weekend warriors have tripped sensors out there in No Man's Land, forcing the already understaffed U.S. Border Patrol to respond to false alarms when they should be hunting for illegal aliens and drug smugglers.

The volunteers say they are there only to call the Border Patrol when they spy illegals. But their presence increases the chances of armed confrontation and of innocent people getting hurt. What happens if and when one of these novices accidentally trips a sensor at night, and armed border guards with night-vision goggles respond, and nobody is sure who's a good guy? There ought to be a better way to police our borders than having heat-packing retirees set up lawn chairs in the desert.

President Bush rightly criticized this effort as vigilantism, but these volunteers have already succeeded in making a symbolic point. U.S. immigration policy is a failure that has not been corrected even after the lessons of 9/11.

A temporary step in the right direction was the Department of Homeland Security's decision to beef up security on the Arizona-Mexico border with 500 more federal agents.

Beyond that, the President and Congress ought to revisit Bush's realistic amnesty proposal for illegals already working here, combined with more effective border enforcement by people who know what they're doing.

No matter what the media says, MMP is doing a great job and have had very few problems from what we have seen.

With that one sentence the author confirmed that 1. they are not from a border state and 2. that they have NO regard for the rule of law and
that 3. they consider our Constitution to be a piece of old paper.

And besides that, all they had to shout was, "The British are coming, the British are coming!"

Our guys have to shout "The Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming,the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming,the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming,the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming,the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming..." :D

Tom2 is exactly Right. Reasonable and legitimate Americans like the Minutemen are screaming "the mexicans are coming."

President Bush, U.S. Senate and many Congressmen sit in plush environments and think----that's just preposterous, there can't be any age old problem like this on superpower U.S. soil again----I just won't believe it or have it.........let's all Americans remember to be a good Christian and get all religious and give our money, houses, cars, and children's future and U.S. Flag to needy illegal Aliens

Why these mexican illegal Aliens are just innocent harmless Workers....look at them and how they can be exploited to slave labor----gee, what's the harm in an amnesty for just a few more illegal Aliens.....these illegal ALiens are just pitiful mexicans and "OUR" American People have just become a Nation of whiners ----that's our Federal excuse --- we'll make it look like we care or are doing something by sending a bunch of ineffective electronic scanning junk to the Border and about 5 Border Patrol agents...

------------------------
Look at what is being spoken to the illegal Aliens and mexcian/latino community by the TRUE INTENT of Invader Illegal ALiens and the entire effort of mass overrunning the U.S. Border. Look at what is said of the Minutemen and U.S. domain of jurisdiction established by the Treaty Of Hidalgo Guadalupe in 1848.

Check out : www.aztlan.net

Aztlan refers to the Land of U.S. Territory that Mexico wants to invade and seize....... and so far they are doing it without firing a single shot ---the Plan.


P.S. - A letter I wrote in support of the Minutmen jamming illegal Aliens was broadcast to several major newspapers in the Country and the Philadelphia Inquirer was one of them that received it Today - 4/8

Give credit where it's due. The article at least had the decency to admit Bush is proposiing an amnesty.

THe Mexicans are here. More are coming.

Lets try and be like the little Dutch boy and at least stick a finger in the hole.

FWIW, the Dutch are emigrating to get away from the Islamofascists who have taken over. The battle is lost as far as I can see. After the murder of that guy named Van Gogh, they are too afraid to take a stand.

We are losing our country to a different group with the same intent of taking over.

I was referring to the little dutch boy and the dam of many years ago at least attempting to slow the flow.
But I see what you mean.

Hey Charlesoakisland: Roger on the finger in the dike. I don't think I have enough fingers. It's a good mental image though. What happens when the dike springs a leak and no one does anything about it?? Pretty soon, no dike and we are all walking around in a knee deep cess pool. Add to it, Fox et al poking holes in the dike from the upsteam side and the border patrol bailing for all their worth with buckets supplied by HOMSEC. Actually, HOMSEC calls them buckets, but they are deceivingly like sieves... Hmmmm.

knee deep is not far off we are already ankle deep in gators.
