Enjoy this one. Kolbe and Nicely were being made to sweat.
I've got news for Rep. Kolbe--I think he needs to go back to Washington and tell all of his pals that he and they are going to be in for a rough time in 2006 if they don't start paying attention to the people regarding the immigration problem---
I wonder if the Border Patrol is more concerned about the public seeing their operations (or maybe more accurately, the lack thereof) than they are about actual safety or confrontations.
The brass we saw last night can be best desrcibed as a bunch of Major Frank Burns' AKA Ferret Faces.
Good, but I doubt they will do anything constructive about it all.
Hopefully, sometime between now and then, Hillary and the rest of the Dems will be "tested" on their true feelings about illegal immigration---
I hope some brave representative goes farther than Sensenbrenner did, and actually proposes immigration reform bill---THEN Hill and others would have to back up their words with a vote---
I remember watching the writing of the DNC platform the week before their convention and I am pretty sure that blanket amnesty was voted ON their platform---
"On the other hand, if they think they are going to become an arm of law enforcement in what is a federal responsibility, Kolbe said, "They will put themselves and others at risk."
Uh, no. Our 'law enforcement' is putting us at risk by ignoring their 'federal responsibility'.
Well, to give you a look-see into the evening...
District Cdr. Nicley told us that he didn't want Minuteman members down here because they were going to introduce an unknown third dimension into the dynamic on the border.
At that point, a resident got up and told him that the Minutemen were already here. He said "I and my neighbors are already minutemen...not by choice, but because you can't stop the illegals from flooding across my property and I have to rely on myself to protect myself, my family, and my property. It takes your agents half an hour to get to me once called, and God Bless 'em, they do respond. But, if someone wished me harm, I'd be dead before you got to me."
Banned Freeper IdRatherBePainting blasted both Nicely and Kolbe for their lack of understanding of the situation. She said that 193 illegals cross her property per hour...every hour...every day...24/7/365. When she asked what the authorities planned to do to stop the invasion, they gave back Pablum...
Nicely said that he was going to provide a presence, that he wanted illegals to know that if they tried to cross into the United States through Cochise County, that they were going to be arrested and deported. That met with mostly silence or groans.
What happens when the Federal Government shirks its responsibility?
A man yelled, "I'm a proud Minuteman. I'm a proud vigilante."
This was misreported. This man is the one I referred to in my previous post, who said that he is being forced to provide his own law enforcement.
Did anyone post a report of how things went with Kolbe?
Right here.
I'm glad you pinged to this. I'd just asked about it.
Oh there will be some sort of resolution wish I was as wise as King Soloman to know what it will be.
The only "dynamic" going on is illegals crossing the borders at will.
Thanks!
We need an unknown third dimension in the mix. Its good to see patriots headed down to the border. Thats where they are needed.
Ping.
Sounds like this guy forgot he is a servant.
