It's not a banner day for any government when a group of its own citizens form a posse to guard it's national border and are publically threatened one of the world's largest drug smuggling operations. This has recently happened at a section of the US border near Tucson, Ariz.
The citizens preparing to set up a vigil on the border dub themselves "The Minuteman Project." In their manifesto, they state the following.
"This project is the result of our government failing to do its most basic duty: protecting each State in the Union against invasion (Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution). ..."
and furthermore,
"At the current rate of invasion the United States will be completely over run with ILLEGAL aliens by the year 2025...only 21 years away. ILLEGAL aliens and their offspring will be the dominant population in the U.S. and will have made such inroads into the political and social systems that "they" will have more influence than our Constitution over how the U.S. is governed. The ugly consequence of an ignored U.S. Constitution is already taking place.
Future generations will inherit this mutated form of the United States of America, consisting of 100 different sub-nations, speaking 100 different languages, and promoting 100 different cultural agendas. That will certainly guarantee the death of this nation as a "melting pot". Instead, it will be tantamount to a sack of marbles...with each marble colliding with the other marbles, as each culture scrambles for dominance of its culture over all others.
The final result: political and social mayhem. "
To make things even more chaotic, a renowned Salvadoran drug smuggling cartel, Mara Salvatruca, or MS-13, as it is known on the streets, has threatened to inflict violence on these 'Minutemen'. Perhaps this is an effort to demonstrate to people exactly who really owns the Southern US Border.
Mara Salvatruca has deadly intent. They have spent years smuggling drugs and weapons over the Mexican Border and are in no mood to stop doing so. This is their lifeblood. The Minuteman Project threatens to hit them where they live.
According to World Net Daily,
"A leader of the violent, terror-connected Latin American gang Mara Salvatruchas, Ebner Anivel Rivera-Paz, has reportedly issued orders from federal prison to members of his international criminal organization to teach a lesson to a group of Americans taking border control into their own hands. ... Lately, the gang has joined forces with former members of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front, a radical terrorist group, and some U.S. intelligence sources say they may also be cooperating with Islamic terrorist groups – including al-Qaida. " - Hat-Tip Digger's Realm.
The US Border Patrol has announced a significant increase in resources to protect the Arizona section of the US Mexican border. What that means in real terms remains to be seen. What we know right now is the following.
1. The US Government has not put the necessary effort into controlling the border.
2. The citizens, particularly in Arizona, have become so sick of this that they are willing to toe the line of outright vigilantiism in order to restore basic civil order.
3. Gangs like MS-13 have so little respect for the US Government in general that they see no problem publically threatening The Minuteman Project with violence that will take place on US soil.
I can only hope that recent overtures towards putting more Border Patrol agents in Arizona are genuine. This is not a situation that the US government has adequately under control. It will get worse and perhaps quite violent if immediate action isn't taken. Perhaps Bill O' Rielly call for National Guard deployments to the border are not as outlandish as they may seem at first blush.
There should be a convery of freedom and democracy loving Americans permeating that area to protect our borders and to protect other American citizens. We should not be scared or hesitant; our second amendment will assist us.
Illegal aliens threatening U.S. citizens en masse is a serious threat that the President should wake up and take notice of. Unfortunately we haven't heard a word about this from him, except for his "vigilante" remarks to his buddy Vicente Fox. Will he allow illegal alien gangs to attack American patriots on American soil?
That's a question that he'd better answer "no" to. This is something that will only get more obnoxious and threatening in the future. MS-13 and how we handle them will establish precedent whether people want it to or not.
If he does then that is an impeachable offense. Honestly, I dont think Bush wants to hurt his standing among Hispanic voters, but American patriots should be flocking to that area if they are able to do it.
We in Fairfax county are already dealing with the absolute flood of this ms13 gang. There are an estimated 3500 gang members in Fairfax County, the majority of them the MS 13. They have shot kids in my kids school, knifed them waiting for the bus and beaten them with golf clubs, and taken the hands and fingers off one child with a machete. When are we going to get tough with these MS folks, more power to the ones standing up against them.
MS-13 is already in East Boston, MA - location of Logan Airport.
