Mark my words, many of the minutemen will get arrested for trying to do the right thing. The press is once again making martyrs out of the illegals.

It's shaping up to be a situation where the original mission would come off well but the opposition in favor of illegal immigration (mainstream press and liberal non-think tanks) determination to screw it up may lead to unwanted tragedy. It's shameful that so many who are nominally Americans are spending so much effort opposing this project (and supporting the raiding of our wallets) rather than trying to get their representatives to enforce existing laws on behalf of citizens. The MMP is about US, the average people shouldering the continually rising costs this invasion puts on us that our representatives studiously ignore and avoid.

These volunteers (working on their own dime) deserve our support and gratitude, not castigation from the mainstream press, neocommunist groups and our very own government.

I've read a lot of garbage concerning MMP in many editorials of late and they all share the idea that our defense is best left to the government. Instead of acknowledging the governments failure to stop the invasion these editors blame us for not accepting the invasion as part of the "new status quo". I don't accept that and am very offended that they're trying to sell that line. We don't have to "accept that they're here"; THEY have to accept that we want them put back into their home countries.

I also believe these advocate's actions merit a revival of the House Un-American Activities Committee. While we don't need a stringent standard of what's American and what's not, too many groups are running roughshod over all of our basic principals and indulging in outright betrayal. It's far past time that these vermin be called to the carpet of the judicial process. Allow me to submit C.A.I.R., A.C.L.U., and L.U.L.A.C. for starters.

Of course, and this is the reason for Bush's low profile (if there is any profile at all) in regards to border control. Any move he makes will make martyrs of the illegals. The passage of prop 187 (whinch passed with a two thirds margin) was successfully used to make martyrs of the hispanics in CA and the result is that republicans don't compete for electoral votes there. This martyr issue is a potential big effect if the press can get the public against the Undocumented Border Patrol.
