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.
I was pretty much meaning this forum, though. I hate having aclu, splc supporters here.
That's funny, the article suggested the company would provide no proof of their employees citizenship.
Why should he have to use a sledge hammer to destroy his own home because a contractor used illegals? Christ people! get a damn life
I concur. I have nothing against tancredo remodeling his basement or that I would control or tell him which contractor and labor to use, the problem is that according to tancredo's political rhetoric he has no trouble telling me.
"the problem is that according to tancredo's political rhetoric he has no trouble telling me."
The entire minuteman movement seems to be built on a house of hypocracy. That's the part that really turns me off. It also takes away from any serious policy discussion involving border issues, or the President's plan to fundamentally address the issue with immigration reform.
An international incident? Mexican troops firing on the border patrol isn't already an international incident? You're an idiot.
"Gotta keep the hate flowing, Luke".
Those dollars to tancredo's PAC are to important.
Oh yeah, before the minutemen supporters go into a hillary like rage, screaming "race baiter" and demanding my immediate banning, the above is meant as a political allegory in modern America as what has been portrayed in a popular motion picture series, "Star Wars".
Can you imagine how agitated they'll be during his stunningly poor presidential effort? It will be amusing then to watch who they blame. I don't know if Colorado law requires it, but I doubt Tancredo has the, um, pelotas, to give up his congressional seat to run for El Presidente. I'm sure he'll be one of those 6 month wonders who suddenly decides to spend more time with his family.
Why the hate filled invectives?
They'll blame their own made up "country club" Republicans, while being silent about hillary, who BTW, has been silent about the minutemen.
Also where is the neo-Joan of Arc(hillary) of the build a damn wall now crowd.
A question, hillary on the border supporting the minutemen, Bueller, Bueller, anyone?
JMO, she is probably telling her eunuchs in her basement headquarters to STFU on FR about immigration is my guess.
I agree. Illegal immigration is a huge problem. But the notion that it can be solved by having Tom Tancredo smash the work in his basement with a sledgehammer is nonsense on stilts.
How would you solve it?
Bump
Uh Dave I brought that option up and I think you are mischaracterizing my words with your above.
I was basically stating that if tancredo was true to his rhetoric he would wield the sledgehammer to his basement done by illegal(impure) labor, but he won't, and I don't blame him, it costs money to redo a basement, especially one with an overhead projector and terraced seating.
Yeah, right. Your agenda is to support your proto-anarchist brother, Vicente Fox in tearing down US sovereign control of its borders and accomplishing the de facto annexation of the border states into Mexico. The fact that Bush seems to be willing to play patsy to that agenda is just bonus for you and your buddies in El Pueblo and La Raza.
Go peddle your lies to someone else, troll.
To all of Tancredo's critics, I say : If you don't like Tancredo's approach, come up with something better and actually do something about it. The status quo doesn't cut it.
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.
Maybe you should take a class in reading comprehension...
These people are a totally different group than the Minutemen.
Your statement is analogous to comparing a Neighborhood Watch group watching out for Bloods gang member activity in the neighborhood to Crips gang members threatening lethal force against the same Bloods gang members.
I see you are new here.
Do you have a disinformation propaganda agenda or are you simply ignorant?
I don't speak for CBB or anyone else, but I get tired of this Jorge Bush, BS.
Your above paranoid and control freakish screed in spirit, IMO, could have been stated by the communists in Poland, when John Paul II visited his homeland of Poland back in 1979.
Oh BTW, the commusnist were all for walls.
