President Bush yesterday said he opposes a civilian project to monitor illegal aliens crossing the border, characterizing them as "vigilantes." He said he would pressure Congress to further loosen immigration law.

If you want to promote a particular agenda, you can do so. But have the honesty to write a vanity post and designate it as such. Resurrecting an old news item implies that the POTUS has renewed his criticism of the Minutemen. What you have done is misleading and dishonest.
That is very true. Nothing has changed at all regards the president's border policy.
If you want to discuss this old article, you might want to remove this thread to the chat section.
How do I do that?
PRESIDENT BUSH! I AM NOT A VIGILANTE!!!!
W, what are you thinking?"
"I'm going to retire one rich cowboy!"
Can't you find anything current to discuss?
I am as anti-ILLEGAL immigration as you'll get...
That said. For future reference, it would be to your advantage, and a help to all of us, if you would have been up front with what you posted. Perhaps mention that nothing has changed in the time since that article. JMHO
"Not that anybody cares."
No one cares what you say? What a shame, howlin.
Nobody cares about the facts.
But you knew that.
Does the "open border" that Fox wants go both ways? If it happens, will I be able to drive down into Mexico and take any job I want?

And, President Bush, I wanted to ask you about your opinion about those people who are hunting migrant people along the border.Thank you for posting the context.PRESIDENT BUSH: I'm against vigilantes in the United States of America. I'm for enforcing law in a rational way. That's why you got a Border Patrol, and they ought to be in charge of enforcing the border.

In terms of the border, listen, we've got a large border. We've got a large border with Canada, we've got a large border with Mexico. There are some million people a day crossing the border from Mexico to the United States, which presents a common issue, and that is, how do we make sure those crossing the border are not terrorists, or drug runners, or gun runners, or smugglers.
And I have told the President that we will -- I will continue to push for reasonable, common-sense immigration policy with the United States Congress. It is an issue with which I have got a lot of familiarity -- after all, I was the governor of this great state for six years and I dealt with this issue a lot, not only with President Fox's predecessors, but with governors of border states -- Mexican border states, Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon. And I know what -- I know the issue well. And I will continue to call upon Congress to be commonsensical about this issue with the United States Congress.
It makes a lot of sense, but the headline writer has to make a living with his misrepresentation of the facts.

And of course, Bush was misquoted in that article.
Shame on you for not noticing that this article is a year old, designed by a troll to stir the pot here at FR.
