Minutemen aside, some migrants undeterred
The Houston Chronicle ^ | April 3, 2005 | IOAN GRILLO

AGUA PRIETA, MEXICO - Standing on the Mexican side of a spiked U.S. border fence, Mario Arizmendi stared wide-eyed at the beautiful desert mountains of south Arizona, a state he plans to illegally enter later this month.

He looked down at a red flier warning about civilian groups patrolling on the U.S. border.

"DANGER," said the flier underneath a picture of two rifles. "Hundreds of American vigilantes are patrolling the border between Agua Prieta and Naco. Some of them are armed."

This was published in the main section of the Houston Chronicle, today. ABC Nightly news had a video segment on the 5:00pm news this evening. I wasn't paying very close attention, but they did show some of the organizers. They also showed some pickup trucks full of people on the other side of the border. There was a video photographer on the Mexican side taping the Minutemen.

And they continue to make a false assumption -- that the people of THIS country will take it. For my perspective, that is the trump card of the U.S. citizen who is interested in preserving America and its freedoms for those to whom it belongs.

Good, scare the heck out of them maybe than they will go away and stay away.

Ioan: the legal term is not migrant; it is "illegal alien"

Illegal Entrant.

This is true. Americans are of two minds on this issue. We like law and order. We don't like drug smuggling. We don't like Americans being priced out of jobs.

But on the other hand, we like affordable construction and cheaper prices. We like paying illegal, under-the-table, non-taxable wages in cash. We like being able to hire 25 illegals on Monday, and then hire 25 different ones on Wednesday if the first group doesn't work out.

The problem is that illegals are such a part of our economy that Americans really don't know what to do.

Opening his morning paper, Dummaz Nomorase, saw that once againt the front page was filled with pictures of the human debris from the carnage of the night before; shrugging, he walked to the coffee pot, put two scoops of high-test in the strainer and poured the boiling water in.

Hardly missing a beat, he snatched the cup with only half its side filled towards the brim, slugged it down, opened the cutlery drawer and slit his throat, again.

Meanwhile, an alarm went off at the EMT station, and Les D. Tirdsweeper, swore under his breath, "Geez, not this early!"

People are saying that if they violate the law and/or are responsible for violence this will be a failure. Thats bull. This will fail if they spend their time on the border and nothing happens thats newsworthy. They need to go down there and commence shooting whatever crosses that border. That is what will force a response from the government. We should be hoping they will get the feeling that "we better secure the border or these guys will go down there killing anything that moves."

"Hundreds of American vigilantes are patrolling the border between Agua Prieta and Naco. Some of them are armed."

So that means there are mostly unarmed "vigilantes"?

I know what to do. Cut off all welfare for illegals and then you will have only the productive ones left.

Tried that. California Prop. 187 was deep-sixed by the courts and Gray-out Davis after winning in a landslide.
