"Large" . . . . . AND 'highly organized." I like the sound of it. It has a nice LEGAL air about it...
"along the border and assist border law enforcement officials for the entire month of April in catching illegal border crossers,"
"So far, Gilchrist said he had received more than 800 applications from U.S. citizens who wanted to volunteer with the project."
WOW! Eight Hundred! Imagine that! Eight Hundred American Citizens willing to pull money out of their back pocket, sacrifice an entire year's worth of vacation, drive for days from all over the united States and camp out for weeks, just to shine a flashlight on a criminal illegal alien border buster!
Sounds to me like a LOT of Americans are FED UP with lies and BS from the government that is spending billions on "Homeland Security" and "Border Control" that is kicking back with the attitude that catching only 30% of the criminal illegal alien border busters is "acceptable."
In response to the prospect of legal action taken against the Minuteman Project, Gilchrist said, "Mexico should mind its own business, but instead it's trying to encourage violence."
Gosh, Jim is so very soft spoken and forgiving... I would rather have enough troops on the border in combination with civilian contractors so that an armadillo could not get through and just tell mexico to take a flying jump up . . . .
And for the volunteers, why, I don't see a vigilante yahoo anywhere! I do seem to remember another bunch of American Volunteers...
