What Minuteman volunteers have succeeded in doing is setting off false alarms by tripping ground sensors on the border, he said.

"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.

Yep, just like the anti-Minuteman types predicted, a bunch of drunk White Supremacists are filling their Mexican illegal immigrant bag limits each and every day.

Wait a minute, that hasn't happened.

If anything, this has proven that the Mexican government could stop the flow of illegals if they so desired. A very interesting result, indeed.

But you're too busy trying to defame what the Minutemen are doing to notice.

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

I don't think it's a CF, except for the politicians.

I think it is a publicity stunt -- that appears to be working.

The Mexican Gov. is smart. One dead old man volunteer = a cry to shut down the border.

(BTW, the Army called things a CF, too.)

You were never a Marine.

Adame wasn't doing such a hot job "concentrating on the actual border" BEFORE the MMP showed up.

I don't think Gunny Highway quite phrased it like that.

A Charlie Foxtrot only in the sense of the inept Border Patrol managers like Adame.

Again, the Minuteman Project are the sensors for the next month. The sensors where the volunteers are located are unnecessary as there are now eyes and ears on that spot providing a very visible presence which deters potential border crossers from even making an attempt at that location.

Second, the Minuteman Project as PROVEN now that if the Mexican government wanted to stop border crossers instead of enabling as they have been, that it can have a very significant effect on the numbers of actual border intruders.

To this extent, the Minuteman Project has already been a success despite the best efforts of malfeasant morons like Adame. All that is left is for the Project to get some sort of positive response from the Congress or the White House acknowledging that the point has been received and understood. Then this project will have been a complete success.

All the BP would need to do would be to have the cell phone numbers for the Minutemen. When an alarm goes off, call them and see if it's them. Wouldn't hurt to tell them were the sensors are. But that would require acknowledging that the Minutemen could be a help. That in turn might hurt the BP in the Budget Wars.

Actually, it sounds a lot more like disinformation.

If their sensors were so effective and so effectively used, then why was this section of the border the most porous?
