JUST A MINUTE Minutemen Project dangerous but puts focus on immigration policy
Houston Chronicle ^ | April 7, 2005, 8:26PM | Editorial

Posted on 04/09/2005 7:03:51 AM PDT by harrowup

A Houstonian armed to the teeth stands atop his pickup truck in the Arizona desert. He wishes to deter illegal immigrants from Mexico, but he and his confederates will fail. Border Patrol officials said some civilian observers set off motion detectors, complicating rather than aiding the agency's mission.

There are far more illegals in this country who were admitted as legals and many of them come in from Canada and Miami and Newark and Los Angeles and SeaTac.
Not doubting you but do you have any numbers on this?

Anyway, you may want to add "buttinskeys" to your list of stupid names that the Minuteman Project volunteers and organizers have been called here.

You can add (Sic) on it. Clearly it's Buttinski.

I had originally thought that Spiff was at least a level headed honest observer. I was wrong.

I did too, but he seems to sometimes exhibit signs of (P)ost (M)inuteman (S)tress.

I didn't know Richard Kyle (Jaws from the Bond movies) was from Houston. What do other people look like when they are armed to the teeth?

He's posting from the Houston Chronicle. Houston is a "sanctuary city" for illegals, like Portland is a "sanctuary city" for terrorists.

Do you have any idea how many illegal 'legal' temporary Polish ladies there are in Chicago doing housework?

What was their point of entry?

If millions (that's MILLIONS) of Polish housekeepers were illegally crossing the border on foot in the Great Lakes region, youd see Minutemen Project in Michigan as well as Arizona.

Finally some truth coming out of the desert. What I find really interesting is that Spiffy seems to be having a heart attack because I'm on his threads like a MMK is on a Mexican, yet he has the gal to come pollute your own thread. From Tancredo on down, I really think the other side has no concept of hypocracy.

This coming from someone who referred to Mexicans as "damn Mexicans" on another thread recently. By the way, what does the acronym MMK stand for?

No need for the insulting post. I didnt exactly post what I meant. Canadians coming here it seems to me would be more likely to be actively left wing and become active in US politics than Mexicans who come here.

Any US port because they were issued "legal visitor visas" but they were not allowed to work. They overstayed their visas and they are working illegally, like many other millions of illegal workers who came here on legal visitor visas.

Nethercott was acquitted. And he has nothing to do with the Minuteman Project.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

What exactly did Spiff do or say to cause you to lose respect for him? Why are you so reluctant to argue facts, but instead rely on namecalling?

Tatum O'Neal goes on a drunken, lesbian gropefest

I only posted that because it has as much to do with the Minuteman Project as the link you posted.

This vigilante activity on the Arizona/Mexico border is blatant bigotry.

You post a flamebait thread, call folks racists and bigots, and stay for the abuse.

What's that word to describe you?

How exactly is patrolling a border, and reporting illegal activity, "bigotry"?

Wasn't the other MMK organizer convicted of some federal arms charges?
