Why I will stand the border … again:
Some of my fellow Americans don’t like this idea of turning people back.
They want to sell us out to a “world community.”
No way.
Why does 50 percent of the Mexican population want to come here?
You have papers, a green card? I welcome you to my country, gladly. You can come in, like my ancestors did.
Because you did it legally.
You want to sneak in, bring in drugs, guns to the gangs, get on the dole, drop your three or four ninos on my doorstep and on our dollars, break the health-care system, the welfare rolls? You want to smuggle in biologicals or a suitcase nuke to kill us all one morning?
You gotta get past us on the border first.
You gotta get past me first.
I will tell you “Alto! No permiso! No entrada!” and turn you back.
President Bush called us “vigilantes.” That just means “vigilant ones.” It doesn’t mean hate, KKK or white supremacy.
It just means “vigilance.”
Unlike last time, I won’t shoot at anybody who doesn’t fire on me first.
Whether on the streets of South Central Los Angeles, or Cleveland, Ohio, or on the border, no one who doesn’t seek to do me bodily harm or invade my country has anything at all to fear from me.
I am a free man.
As the Founding Fathers intended I always remain.
Not a subject.
I will not be disarmed and made helpless like the “world citizens” of Europe, England, Canada and Australia.
I am not a “citizen of the world.”
I am an American.
There’s much more.
#2That's interesting info.
At no point could any reporter see evidence of more than 150 Minutemen gathered in one place — even though the first two days of activities were all about concentrating their forces in a pair of protest rallies.
It's cool that so few people have already accomplished so much.
By "so much" you mean the setting off of false alarms that actual professionals have to chase down?
He said the volunteers had assisted the Border Patrol in the detentions of more than 100 undocumented migrants on Saturday evening.
However, Border Patrol spokesman Jose Maheda could not confirm these figures, saying only that the agency had received no more calls from citizens than any other night.
Maheda said the volunteers had stumbled into several Border Patrol sensors designed to locate intruders, causing the government agents to spend hours checking out false alarms.
#4The false alarms don't seem to be that big a deal. I was thinking of items I noted in previous posts, e.g. Minutemen catch 141 illegals so far. Earlier today I also posted this quote from the Washington Times:
...Privately, Minutemen are getting word from agents in the field that they appreciate their help. As Mr. Simcox told Fox News Thursday morning, agents are giving the “thumbs up” to the volunteers.
So it seems like the Minutemen are doing some good things.
Huh, too bad so few minute men showed up.
