Vigilantes at the Border Phil Inq Op/Ed
Well, more uninformed members of the media. When are they going to learn that they are undocumented Border Patrol Agents?

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.http://www.alipac.us Enforce immigration laws!

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..."'58 Airedale

Exactly Right Tom2
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.
