"Menacing Minutemen"? Dear Lord, where will it end? Despite the incredible strain illegal immigration puts upon our nation, despite the ranting, raving hysterics of the loony Left, despite the ill-informed, ill-advised complicity of the democratic machine, conservatism is alive and well in America. Ah-nold is just telling it the way it is. Of course, since I'm not a Governor, I can say it: close the borders. Shoot down illegals as they cross, like one would shoot a rabid hyena. It seems I'm far more menacing than any Minuteman, since all they do is call the Border Patrol. Time to get a grip, people. I'm not sure the Governor mis-spoke, but even if he did, his intentions are right on. We must control our borders far more carefully than in days past. There are bad people out there, who would just love to see our country burn. At the very least, undocumented illegals send millions of our money south of the border, gratis. The Mexican government has no interest in stopping this, since it redounds to their benefit. The major problem seems to be that Hispanics make up the fastest growing "minority" in the U.S., and politicians fear that to irritate that particular voting bloc will encumber their chances for re-election. I have no qualms with legal immigration: my next-door neighbors are Mexican, and some of the nicest folk you'd get the pleasure to meet. Oddly enough, they're against illegal immigration also. I suppose it's because they actually went through the process of becoming citizens. To sum up, no matter what Ah-nold said (or meant), I think he's covered an issue that we as Americans cannot afford to ignore any longer.
Nice rant, but I'm sure the author's intention were pure satirical in nature.
