The Guardian angels are also trying to insert themselves into Dallas, making a lot of police and merchants very jittery.

Actus, that story was complete fraud. What did
happen was one minuteman found a hungry dehydrated
mexican in the brush and was given food and water.
The Boader Patroll was called along with other Minutemen. As the mexican was being taken away by the B.P. the guy who found him gave him a hug, 20 dollars and a T-shirt.(don’t remember what it read) When B.P. upper management heard this, they went with the “forced to wear shirt” route to discredit
the Minutemen with a press conference. One problem,
the entire event was video taped. Once upper management heard this, they knew they would be caught in lie. So they did a one-two shuffle and
quickly canceled the press conference.

A small point. The Minutemen restricted their service to approximately one month, because they did fear “the potential for an accident or of a single overly gung-ho encounter” - from the Left which has insidiously tried to infiltrate their ranks.

“This is, of course, blatantly misrepresenting what the Minutemen were trying to do, and actually did, without any reports of civil rights violations during their one-month patrol”

Wasn’t someone forced to be photographed with one of the minute men?

Eh, not to be nitpicky, but it seems likely that there might have been more to Condi’s answer than was reported. Having both the text of the question and her full answer would have been nice.

Lance–I never said I found the Minutemen distasteful. I just thought going in to this that the potential for an accident or of a single overly gung-ho encounter was going to set back the cause of border protection by a dozen years.

I find the ACLU pretty distasteful, and the more irrelevant angst I hear from them, the worse it gets.

We should train Mexicans to go back and take their country away from the 400 families. Teach them to hate a government that forces them out of their homeland to get a job. Perhaps we should even arm revolutionaries?

Also, and this is a quibble, but the United States Government alone? Even local and state law enforcement agencies don’t have a part to play?

Federal law says they do. No one’s ever used it before, but if Ray Haines’s initiative passes, we’ll have our own border police.

Perhaps you could provide another post containing a handy chart of people and groups whose actions you find distasteful, along with the rough amount of MSM-ACLU opposition that it would take to change your mind.
