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.
This is a big waste of time and effort. The illegals aren't going to cross there. They'll just cross somewhere else. However well intentioned these people are, they're not stopping anything.
Sorry to bust anybody's bubble but there's no "mission accomplished" here. They just made the illegals cross somewhere else. They will find a way across one way or another.
Why are there no American press interviews with the Federales?
Note the DIMocrat states below:
"TASER energy weapons are not considered firearms. They can be legally carried (concealed or open) without permit required in 43 states.
TASER is not available for private citizen defense in DC, HI, MA, MI, NJ, NY, RI, & WI. Check local laws on carrying stun guns and non-lethal energy weapons.
Law enforcement weapons have some features, including extended range, not available for private use."

U.S. and Mexican officials say it's because of Mexico's efforts.
lol that's so laughably assinine it borders on ludicrous
Mexico wouldn't be doing SQUAT if the Minutemen Volunteers weren't on the border.
Jackasses, all of them. Mexican and American government officials, nothing but jackasses.
"where they are encouraged to wait before trying to cross" are the key words here. They are simply telling them to wait until the coast is clear. I'm sure there are more crossings in NM, TX and CA now.
Well, over 200 posts without a border ping...must be a good article! Thanks, Mudd, for the 'ping'.
I wonder how long it's going to take before someone starts asking Andy Adame some tough questions? I've just sent an editorial to the Sierra Vista Herald chiding their reporter for swallowing Adame's position hook, line, and sinker.
Hmm - Bush and the RINOs are liars when they say we cant stop illegals from crossing the border. This proves it. Wake up Freepers Bush could care less about you - if he really wants to stop illegal immigration all he has to do is 1)penalize employers who hire 2)take away all benefits and 3)put up a wall. Instead GW who has never had to face what middle America faces - poor schools, crime, drugs, criminals, failing hospitals, disease, etc... - is thinking that you will buy the lie that we cant stop illegals and that we wont do the work that they perform -
Minuteman rock!!!!!
"What Minuteman volunteers have succeeded in doing is setting off false alarms by tripping ground sensors on the border, he said."
"They're getting closer," he says. "They could just be reporters." They are.
Maybe the reporters are more to blame than the Minuteman volunteers for the false tripping of alarms.
Thank you, Minutemen.
So even Mexico fears pictures of lots of illegals flooding the USA being all over our national TV and making trouble.
I am surprised they are "that" smart!
"We're having to work around them instead of concentrating on the actual border where we need to work," Adame said.
I spent some time in the military working with sensors (about 20 years). I worked with the same sensor systems used by the Border Patrol. Proper emplacement would have the sensors deployed in "strings" that would be activated in sequence providing not only an alarm but also a probable direction of movement. Further analysis of the data would also allow the determination of target speed. The information could then be plotted on a map; capture sites could be determined and manned prior to the arrival of the bad guys.
Review of the sensor activation pattern would quickly indicate that a group of cattle or a known presence such as the Minutemen were causing the activation, since the same sensors would constantly be activated. This would negate the need to send an agent out to the sensor site to investigate.
This all means either the Border Patrol isn't using the sensor system properly or that the admin types are blowing smoke at the unknowing public. The guys in the field know what they're doing, so the problem must be the admin types.
Minutemen pinger

BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Bologny! If he had been doing his job, instead of catering to Fox and Bush by ignoring the millions of illegals who come in every year, the Minute Men wouldn't have to be there, would they?
God Bless the Minute Men. Thank you, for helping to defend America against an administration that will not even attempt to do so.
