Border Militia: We'll Shut Down the Border with Machine Guns

Casey Nethercott is the leader of a militia group dubbed the Arizona Guard and said during a TV interview broadcast on Friday, "When this Minuteman thing is over, if it doesn't work, we're going to come out here and close the border with machine guns."

KVOA TV-4 in Tucson carried a report on Friday by reporter Nancy Perla that toured the group's compound that sits along the Arizona/Mexico border near Douglas, Arizona. The camera showed two older model American made SUV's, both painted black, that Nethercott claims are "armored vehicles" with "quarter-inch steel in them." Pointing again to the vehicles, Nethercott continued, "You'll get killed without them, here's been so many shootouts out here."

The camera then shows a concrete block wall riddled with bullet holes that Nethercott says came from drug smugglers. The report titled "Mimicman Projects" by KVOA calls them copy cats and says the project could begin on July 4, though Nethercott would release no details.

The Minuteman Project stated through Chris Simcox, who is an organizer for the project, that they don't support a violent solution. "I think anytime you go to that length to take the law into your own hands, you're asking for trouble," Simcox told KVOA.

The armed militia supports the Minuteman Project, but says that if they fail to close the border to illegal border crossers, his group will step in and be heavily armed to do the job.

Tancredo hired an American company to do the work. The company illegally hired a couple of illegal aliens unbeknowst to Tancredo. Tancredo did not knowingly or intentionally hire any illegal aliens and was quite alarmed to find out that the company he hired to do the work had done so

He must have a pretty big house when jose comes in through his front door and remodels his basement.

Like I said if he was true to his rhetoric he would get a sledgehammer and demolish his basement to get out all the vestiges of the impure labor that remodeled it.

JMO, neathercott's group and the minutemen, probably have something akin to what the demos and the aclu have.

But the don't, and you are a liar.

[ClintonBeGone]

I have never supported any of those people.

But you seem to support their policies. Why?

[ozarkgirl]

So you're sure that every member of the so called 'non-violent' group is opposed to shooting migrants?

I know if they are found to have that type of agenda, they can no longer be a minuteman. The leaders of the project have worked very hard to make sure they don't attract that type and I think they've done a great job weeding out those kinds.

[Spiff]

BTW, I'm not for granting citizenship, but a documented guest worker program, that the US had before LBJ dismantled it.

Bracero didn't work. The Eisenhower plan is far superior.

[Lazamataz]

But you seem to support their policies. Why?

Adolph Hitler supported highway construction.

Therefore, anyone who supports building interstates is a NAZI!!!!

Hey. Makes as much sense as what yer sayin'.

[ARCADIA]

How many shot migrants are there?

With 40,000 currently housed by the Federal Penal System, and their generating something like 90% of LA's violent felonies...The number is probably very large.

[kcvl]

Exactly. Besides the fact they are breaking the law the rest of us respect and obey. If they are breaking one I doubt they are respecting many of the others. And the fact that the people who are reporting ALL salaries and income and paying taxes accordingly are subsidizing them.

They are also taking away benefits from LEGAL immigrants who need it. I'm sick of people who think it's okay to IGNORE OUR LAWS and make excuses for it.

[ClintonBeGone]

Tancredo did not knowingly or intentionally hire any illegal aliens and was quite alarmed to find out that the company he hired to do the work had done so.

Why do you believe Tancredo now, when he so clearly lied to his constituents when he took (and broke) his term limits pledge?

[Lazamataz]

Phew! Good thing you switched subjects abruptly, cuz you were getting ass-kicked on the illegal immigration one.

[Spiff]

Spiff, look at yourself. You've spent at least as much time denying the embarrassing actions/threats of others as you have reporting on the MMK stuff from the desert. You've become the MMK's Lanny Davis.

I've had to spend a great deal of time countering the outright lies and slander coming from you, Ficklin, Dane, and your ACLU Democrat ally harrowup. Lies and slander, character assasination, ad hominem attacks, guilt by false association - that's all you losers have.

And it is truly wrong that you can continue to do this on Free Republic without any reprisal from the administrators. Someone needs to tell you to cool it.

[ClintonBeGone]

I know if they are found to have that type of agenda, they can no longer be a minuteman.

So why don't we adopt the minuteman membership policy for immigrants coming into this country. We'll let anyone in, BUT, if they are found to be here illegally they'll be asked to leave?

[ClintonBeGone]

Don't immigrants or their defenders have to put up with the same treatment from your side?

[Spiff]

He must have a pretty big house when jose comes in through his front door and remodels his basement. Like I said if he was true to his rhetoric he would get a sledgehammer and demolish his basement to get out all the vestiges of the impure labor that remodeled it.

Tancredo spends a great deal of his time in Washington, DC. He's a congressman, you know. And when he's in his home district, he spends his time in his office. He may have never actually been home while the workers were there. And, anyway, should he have noticed a hispanic looking person if he'd immediately asked for his papers you'd be branding him a "racist" or some such crap.

You have nothing. Give it up and stop making yourself look like such an ass.

[Lazamataz]

So why don't we adopt the minuteman membership policy for immigrants coming into this country. We'll let anyone in, BUT, if they are found to be here illegally they'll be asked to leave?

Because the Minutemen are a volunteer organization, not a nation that provides expensive services.

[Spiff]

Don't immigrants or their defenders have to put up with the same treatment from your side?

No. And we're talking about illegal immigrants.

[Lazamataz]

Don't immigrants or their defenders have to put up with the same treatment from your side?

ILLEGAL immigrants and their defenders do.

LEGAL immigrants and their defenders don't.

[Dane]

And it is truly wrong that you can continue to do this on Free Republic without any reprisal from the administrators. Someone needs to tell you to cool it

How come it is always your side demanding the bannings. I haven't used profanity, just pointing out my arguement that I don't support the minutemen, that I beleive there may be some radical elements entwined within them, and that a guest worker program where people are documented would work better than building a new 2,000 mile Berlin wall.

Excuse me for having an opinion.

[airborne]

This guy is a serious threat to a worthy effort. From what I have seen and heard, he does not represent what the Minuteman movement stands for.
