Days after the September 11th attacks you personally charged Americans to be "vigilant" and that we should watch for and report suspicious activity to the proper authorities. That is precisely what the Minuteman Project is doing. Bad-mouthing them now is really bad form.
If you would fulfill the obligations of Article IV Section 4 of the United States Constitution and secure our borders from invasion there would be no need for the Minuteman Project and other such events and groups. Your malfeasance in office towards this massive problem has brought this situation upon us. You only have yourself to blame. Yet, there you are, gladhanding el Presidente Fox - yucking it up for the cameras. We who live on the border who must live with this intolerable situation every day of our lives feel betrayed by your words and your inaction.
You've had 5 years to secure the border - 3 years since the 9/11 attacks should have made you realize how essential our border security is. Yet the border situation has only grown worse. The Minuteman Project may end ugly. There is a high likelihood that someone is going to get hurt. The confrontation may escalate. There's a reason that we have laws and that the Constitution guarantees that the Federal Government will protect the states from invasion. You're seeing the reason unfold before your eyes. What you're seeing on the border and elsewhere is a natural effect of the non-enforcement of our laws and the lack of security on the border. Enforce the laws and secure the border or the problems will only get worse.
It is up to you. Why don't you come down here and see the border for yourself? Talk to me and my friends so that you can better understand what we have to deal with. Then you might start to take seriously your obligation to provide the border security necessary to protect the rights of Americans.
Great "open letter to Presidente Arbusto!"
If I should sign up to join the MinuteMan project this summer and patrol the border, may I call myself an Undcoumented Border Patrol Agent?
(I can't take full credit for that being I heard something similar on tv)
Excellent letter. Of course you are prepared to get back WH Form Letter Reply 22-B which will tell you how seriously the President regards the illegal alien (or "undocumented immigrant" in PC-speak) problem, that his guest worker proposal is designed to get it under control, and that he doesn't believe in amnesty...
