Most people don't even thing about the problem very much, let alone ask "why?" One of the primary purposes of the Minuteman Project is to raise awareness across the U.S. so that people will ask "why?" A one-day rally or protest here or in Washington would not have achieved that. A month-long protest/neighborhood watch/FReep of the border very well may accomplish that and the "why?" will be asked of President Bush and Congress. Why are so many illegals pouring across the border? Why do the residents of Arizona and other border states have to put up with the intolerable mess this invasion causes? Why are our bordersnot secure after the terror attacks of 9/11 and during a time of war where a terrorist threat still exists? Why is Border Patrol so mismanaged? Why isn't Border Patrol given the budget, staffing, and resources necessary to do their job? Why isn't the President living up to his obligation as defined in Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution? Why aren't our laws being enforced? Why are no employers punished who break the law and hire illegal aliens? Why is there no interior enforcement? Why aren't illegal aliens being deported? Why are we giving government benefits to illegal aliens? Why isn't local law enforcement allowed to determine citizen status and report illegal aliens to the proper authorities? Why!?
With the news coverage this event has received so far and despite the attempts to spin in negatively I can assure you that a great deal more Americans are asking "Why?".
The big "why" questions are -- "why are the coming across?" That's the first question I would ask.
