Those are the same people who don't care that all of their consumer products, much of the food they eat, the clothes they wear, or anything else for that matter are all made somewhere other than the US. Cheap is the bottom line.

They are too shortsighted to understand that without jobs (created by agriculture and manufacturing), the consumer can't afford to buy anything eventually. The road to socialism.

[Squantos]

Sounds like the cell phones are key to the crossings......interesting.

Tell Jackalopebreeder to Stay safe !

What I can't believe are the conservatives who ignore this issue---some on this very board.

Yeah, they're just like their globalist free trade brethren...it's all about lower prices.

[HiJinx]

Still shining the spotlight of truth. There's no stopping a man who knows he's in the right.

[HoundsTooth_BP]

Lower prices are beneficial to us all, cheaper wages mean that we all are richer from more abundent goods and services. The problem is two-fold, but it isn't that Mexicans are "stealing jobs." No, the real problem is that our government has placed so much tax and regulation (especially the minimum wage) onto Americans that black market foreign workers are needed to fill economic needs. The other major problem with these illegal aliens is their nature, namely that they are illegal aliens, flouting and cheapening our law while at the same time doing little to aculturize into Americans. I have no problem with cheap wages, indeed we should abolish many taxes and regulations so wages can be legally lowered for everyone, nor do I have a problem with immigration, just the failure of American policy to turn these immigrants into people with American values.

There is also an issue of these immigrants sucking up vast amounts of public goods and services (read welfare\health care, etc). Of course this wouldn't be an issue if not for the Unconstitutional network of government mandated charity (read theft). In any event, the consumption of American taxpayer funded services amount to a massive hidden cost for these workers. Those individuals who think that they're getting a good deal from illegal labor from foreign nations are simply dilusional.

While there is no easy solution to this problem a good few steps in the right direction would be to freeze the border, seek ways to reverse intensive government charity activities, and to amend the Constitution to require that 3 out of 4 grandparents have been citizens in order for a child to be born a citizen. This amendment would revoke citizenship for anyone not meeting those requirements at the time of its passing.

I'm sorry to say that it means the Border Patrol, especially the Douglas element, is a pathetic PC-dominated organization. FYI, the Minutemen are placed along a border truly notorious for border crossers. Just west of Naco, this person saw a covey of a dozen West Africans being bundled off late last year.
Once the Minutemen are gone it will be back to business as usual. Nevertheless, my hat's off to them for publicizing this nation's disastrous immigration policy.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Well, thats the one possibility I considered after I posted, was that the quote I commented on meant their presence is a deterrent. I take it thats what you are saying also. Thanks.

[Nephi]

Not that I need an explanation of the illegal immigrant issue, but...
there is an easy solution as demonstrated by the success the MMP has already had - enforce the law.
Second, change the immigration law using our republican process if you don't agree with it.
It can't get much more simple than that.

Thanks

I think he was banned from here.

[Boot Hill]

You realize, of course, that by posting a postive article about the Minuteman Project, that the CAL-9 will now be forced to run out to their phoney website and gin up another phoney story about some fictious harm about ready to befall their precious criminal aliens?

(Loved your Y-chromosome crack in the article!) (Oops, better change that to "joke" not "crack"!)

The road to socialism.

We're on that road, yet some don't want to see it, they're too busy watching soap operas or "reality" shows, or listening to our own President telling us how good illegal immigration is for America.

[Ed_in_NJ]

Thank you for your service on the front, and for the report!

[DoctorMichael]

Keep up the good work......................AND the updates!

Well deserved Bumperoonie!

Its a Verizon phone. I used to have one.

[Gilbo_3]

Thanks for the updates, I was wondering if there had been any talk on site about making the project longer or permanent? since the infrastructure is in place, all thats needed is a rotation of volunteers...
