This issue drives me crazy because I just don't know what the hell Bush is thinking on immigration. I just can't begin to make sense of it. Really, I understand the nutty perspectives of shrill leftists on various issues better.

Bush needs to stop trying to appease Vicente Fox. Earning browny points with the President of Mexico isn't going to get the Mexican gov't to aid in halting illegal immigration. I don't recall Mexico sending any troops to Iraq. Looks like we're gonna have to take care of illegal immigration without them too.

And it's happened before.

"Extremists concern civilian border patrol:"
UPI by way of New Kerala
05MAR05

[World News]: TOMBSTONE, Ariz.,, March 5 : The leaders of a civilian group set to patrol the U.S.-Mexican border in Arizona have said they are concerned about white supremacists joining the effort.

Organizers said the Minuteman Project, set to patrol southern Arizona for undocumented immigrants next month, has attracted more than 700 volunteers, the Arizona Republic reported Saturday.

However, the organizers said they are concerned about interest expressed on white supremacist Web sites and chat rooms.An Aryan Nation site links directly to the Minuteman Project home page with the words: "A call for action on part of all Aryan soldiers."FBI spokeswoman Susan Herskovitz said the organization's plan to begin a month-long border patrol April 1 is "definitely a concern."

Project mastermind Jim Gilchrist said he is confident the group's efforts will be a "peaceful protest" by "patriots" who reject violence.He said he believes members will successfully weed out extremists.

So now do you see why the Minuteman thing is not a good idea?

President Bush has been viewed portrayed himself as a leader who places the national security of our country as the number one priority.

by using the term “vigilantes” when referring to the volunteers

Did he really say that? Was that taped? If so, he should be pushed into an apology. What's the difference between these guys and Neigborhood Watch?

Last night at Boston's Logan Airport, 17 illegals, most from Brazil, were arrested. One was a juvenile, one was wanted on a deportation warrant. They were cleaning the airport, even in supposedly secure areas. This is ridiculous.

...GW displayed a distinct lack of knowledge on exactly how the Minuteman Project operates, by using the term “vigilantes” when referring to the volunteers.

IIRC, W was asked about the project and said (paraphrased), that he did not want vigilants on the border.

I noted at the time that he did NOT refer to the Minuteman Project in his response.

In other words, the FBI and other LEOs want we citizens to be their eyes and ears, except when they don't.

In Homeland Security missions however, military units are restricted by the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the military from direct involvement in law enforcement operations.

Beep. Circle takes the square. Only the Army and Air Force are prohibited from taking police actions. The Marines and Navy are under no such restrictions.
