"Minutemen find few migrants (Police in Mexico discouraging illegal crossings)"
Mission accomplished!
"We're having to work around them instead of concentrating on the actual border where we need to work," Adame said.
Sounds like what we in the Marines used to call a major CHARLIE FOXTROT.
"(Police in Mexico discouraging illegal crossings)"
The Minutemen are even more effective than I had hoped. They're getting a better response than the federal government ever could.
It is a blot on this administration that they are not accomplishing this Constitutional task and the people HAVE to take matters into their own hands. Wake up to the will of the people pres.!
And suggesting less fortified border-crossing locations, no doubt.
I find it more than disappointing when US officials aren't on the side of America.
there's a front page article in the nyt today complaining that illegals pay into social security and don't get much back.
it's odd that the nyt hasn't noticed the hospitals in california that have gone broke due to illegals, or the collapse of the health care system elsewhere.
U.S. and Mexican officials say it's because of Mexico's efforts.
Give credit where it's due...US and Mexico would have never stepped up efforts if it wasn't for the MMP.
Basically what the Mexican Govt is saying is, wait until the Minutemen leave, then cross. Hell, they are admitting it in this article.
Our sorry politicians ought to be ashamed of themselves for this, and I include Republicans in that statement.
I'm seriously re-evaluating my support to the Republican party.
The watched pot does not boil over.
But east and west of the portion of the border that was being observed by the "auxillaries", the number of illegal crossings has to be up sharply. It is doubtful that there was any net change in the numbers who cross hourly.
Build the security fences and keep them under constant surveillance from unmanned drone aircraft, in those stretches too long or too rough to patrol effectively from the ground.
Well, we wanted the federal government to step up and act on this issue.
Next time, let's specify WHICH federal government.
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 it. Border crossings are down!
The Mexican Army has Humvees? I'd have thought Toyota Land Cruisers or Land Rovers or some other non-US jeep like vehicle. They aren't exactly into buying "Gringo" (They don't use the M-16 for example, even though the H&K they do buy is considerably more expensive.
So it's working. Good to know.
"We're having to work around them instead of concentrating on the actual border where we need to work," Adame said.
Setting off sensors that only Mexicans won't do?
Bravo Zulu, Minutemen. After only five days, you've reduced illegal immigration to nada.
It is obvious that the Minutemen are being incredibly successful.

As opposed to the other 11 months of the year, when they turn their heads the other way.
Kinda demonstrates that the Mexican government COULD halt illegal migration if it really wanted to.
