Minutemen find few migrants (Police in Mexico discouraging illegal crossings)

you nailed it Spiff.

IMO CBG is trying to bait readers of this post into posting an inappropriate or vulgar reply......the type of reply which could get one banned from FR and paint anti-illegal immigration types as "wackos." Fortunately, it looks like nobody took the bait.

I guess I am somewhat cynical today but a red flag goes up when I see somebody brandishing military credentials to bolster their demagoguery.

Incidentally, I agree with CBG that the illegal immigration problem is a symptom of a greater problem, namely the welfare state.

Eager to avoid confrontations between volunteers and its people, Mexico is sweeping the area south of the Minuteman Project clear of migrants.

As opposed to the other 11 months of the year, when they turn their heads the other way.

"Minutemen Disrupting Normal Operations"....As we all know, normal operations was allowing millions of illegal migrants from crossing the border. If the minuteman project is upsetting normal operations, then they should keep at!

Bump!

He probably employs illegals....those are the staunchest defenders of our uninvited guests.

"Apparently the sensors aren't tripped by the thousands of illegals who pass every single day."

No, I guess they are designed to only detect American citizens.

[DoctorMichael]

Kinda demonstrates that the Mexican government COULD halt illegal migration if it really wanted to.

[Dead Corpse]

Either government could if they were serious about it. That is kind of the point. They are complicit in this illegal activity.

IMO he's flame baiting - trying to get the thread axed or posters banned. Best to call him on his idiocy without over-flaming, lest you grant him what he really wants.

Thank you, and I know it. I've seen the tactic before and I'm often the first to warn others that the FROBLs are engaging in it again.

My point being firmly made, I'm done talking to the idiot and I hope that others now recognize him for the flame-baiting troll that he is. Cultural Jihad was banned for doing this same stuff the other day, hopefully Clintonbegone will meet with the same zot fate.

Why are ILLEGALS getting US social security in the first place? I would venture to say that they are not paying taxes, hence not paying into SS to begin with.

Getting back at least what they pay, just like anyone else that has SS taxes withheld. What is the problem with that?

[CDHart]

But as soon as the Minutemen leave, the illegals will come back.

Can you provide some source info to backup your claim?

Perhaps you can assist me in showing how to prove a negative?

What is the problem with that?

That's letting criminals reap the rewards of their crimes.

It's not proving a negative to post your own statistics showing the BP is full of it.

But it is quite telling that you are attempting that ploy when your positions are challenged.

[Spiff]

But as soon as the Minutemen leave, the illegals will come back.

True. We know this and the Minutemen know this. However, their point will have been made as it has been made already. The border can be shut down, the Mexican government can do something about, and the people are fed up with the problem and don't want to take it anymore. This event and its implications will be hard to ignore - its ripple effects will be far reaching. There's no harbor down here and no tea, but you're seeing the equivalent of the Boston Tea Party happening right now.

[Flyer]

You don't have to prove a negative. Just show the stats that indicate very few illegal border crossings.

More egg on the face of liberal weenies everywhere.

No vigilanteeism, just lawful Americans aiding law enforcement to do their job.

And finally, the Mexicans seem to have gotten the message that people on this side of the border are fed up and ready to do something about it. So finally, they take action.

I wonder how much longer it will be before Mexico starts behaving like a responsible nation-state and improves conditions for it's people, rather than using the US as a dumping ground for their unemployables.

[Irontank]

Yeah...now that's good...

3 million illegals cross the border every year and a few hundred Minutemen are setting off alarms in a couple of days

[leoncaruthers]

I'm from Michigan. If I want to see illegals I drive past apple orchards, cherry orchards, and Dearborn. The atms here are in English and Spanish. Think that's a coincidence?

Now ask me about the year I lived in northern Indiana and there were no catholic masses in English, but plenty in Spanish, and the paper had a weekly segment on "How to get US citizenship".

This is a nationwide issue, worse in some places, but it is everywhere.
