She's right. I don't know any pro-illegal immigration American hispanics. Most really resent illegals for sucking up their tax dollars and giving American hispanics a bad name, and I'm one of those resentful ones. And, *sigh* no, I do not feel it's my DUTY to scream the loudest about this anymore than the next American.

[TLI]

Why would we want "indigenous mexicans" in the Minutemen? Doesn't that mean they'd be from Mexico?

What I believe to be the case when I read his statement and reference to "indigenous mexicans" is American Citizens that are of latino/hispanic/mexican or whatever someone preferes to say, origin. The key here is they are American Citizens. They have features that infer origin other than western European (white).

[Caterina]

No, but I'll stand next to you and scream it with you. First we Americans must unite, regardless of our color.

These Minutemen projects are all popping up basically independent of each other. What one state's project speaks and acts may not be the core beliefs for another project. The main thing that scares me about these movements is the lack of guidance from one national foundation. They can evolve into a good group with level headed actions, or one wacko can stray the flock and take the organization in a direction away from lawful and peaceable response.

Rhetoric is circulating claiming the Minutemen projects are racist and show shades of the KKK past. I pray it is merely false rhetoric, but unless there is a national foundation formed and specific chapters for each state with by laws and core beliefs set up, they could easily digress down the wrong path. Humans are funny that way.

And BTW, I believe I have some slang spelling corrections to make. 'padrone' and 'cajones'. :)

As someone who supports the original (Chris Simcox) Minuteman project, I share this same concern. One whacko is all it'll take, and we'll never be able to seal the borders due to political fallout.

"We don't want a bunch of outsiders here," Montalvo said.
But THEY are the outsiders.
They must be mentally disoriented.

[freakboy]

"But we oppose the project because it employs tactics against immigrants … and tends to breed racism."

Actually, I think supporting illegal immigration breeds racism.

If I were a black man I would be furious about Mexicans stealing jobs that would otherwise go to me.

What the...?

[henderson field]

The reason that immigration is so horrible is exactly what happened in El Cenizo: LULAC and its lap-dog hispanics have been able to make a law in the United states completely favoring itself and without any regard whatsoever for the host nation.
In other words, hispanics have proven that our fear of them is well-founded, that there are many proper and good reasons for wanting them out of here.

all hispanics or just the illegals?

[KingNo155]

Who does the LULAC think they are? The KKK? You and your kind are not welcome in Laredo?

[SealSeven]

Amazing. But, typical-

[Judge Roy]

Well apparently your fore fathers had a job mine were eating clay out of a hill side. Have a nice day

[Caterina]

Ummm, Henderson....I think you mean to say Mexican Nationals. Hispanic is a term to describe anyone of Spanish, Mexican, or South and Central American (Latino) origin. Many natural born and naturalized American citizens are Hispanic.

There's no reason to fear legal immigrants from Mexico. Many of them come here for a better way of life and work quite hard. Some of the folks of my own color should do so well and get off the government payroll. What is a problem is the complete lack of control as to who gets over here. The n'er do wells looking to hop on fed. entitlements, gangsters, drug dealers, and worse yet, terrorists.....we have no shortage in supply of our own problem population of this sort. We have no business allowing unchecked imports of additional 'help' of this type from any nation.

There is no one here lacking for a job who truly wants to work. .

[VeniVidiVici]

many of whom are first-generation Mexican-American or are recent immigrants living here legally.

And just how many Mexicans are allowed to come into the US legally every year (to go live in Laredo)?

[Dead Corpse]

"How can they distinguish if Im illegal by just looking at me?" Rocha said.

Because dumba$$. See that river over there? That is the farking BORDER. If you are coming THIS way across it, then you are doing so ILLEGALLY. If you, your wife, your seven kids, and three drug runners are coming this way at zero dark thirty, chances are you are not coming back from a picknik.

This ain't rocket science and has NOTHING to do with the color of anyones skin.

Ever notice that when citizens employ nullification Government gets bent out of shape. But Government may whenever it suits them. Isn't this backwards, assuming that the will of the people is supreme?
