The lead organizer for the border patrol group the Minutemen said Tuesday that he wants to invite New York Sen. Hillary Clinton to come to the Arizona-Mexico border this month to review their operation, which has so far netted the arrests of more than 300 illegal immigrants.
"We're thinking of inviting Hillary Clinton," Minuteman founder James Gilchrist told ABC Radio host Sean Hannity, adding that he'd already looked into flight arrangements to Arizona for the former first lady and could provide appropriate security.
Gilchrist's decision to invite Clinton was likely prompted by her tough comments on border security - remarks that place her sharply to the right of the Bush administration on the issue.
"I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigrants," she announced in Feb. 2003 radio interview, adding that "people have to stop employing illegal immigrants."
"I mean, come up to Westchester, go to Suffolk and Nassau counties," Clinton railed. "Stand on the street corners in Brooklyn or the Bronx; you're going to see loads of people waiting to get picked up to go do yard work and construction work and domestic work."
"Clearly, we have to make some tough decisions as a country," the top Democrat urged.
In comments last November, the likely 2008 presidential nominee blasted the Bush administration for turning a blind eye to the problems at the border.
"I don't think that we have protected our borders or our ports or provided our first responders with the resources they need, so we can do more and we can do better," Clinton told the Fox News Channel.
"There's technology now available," she noted. "There are some advanced radar systems. There are biometric and other kinds of identification systems that we've been very slow to deploy and unwilling to spend money on."
Gilchrist said his patrol operation is open to Clinton and anyone else who wants to review its progress, explaining, "When I first launched this in October I insisted that we have open season for all law enforcement to come in and do whatever they want - and the same with the media."
And he pointed out the obvious political benefit for any politician who wants to lend support, noting, "For every [Minuteman] down here we've probably got a hundred thousand supporters across the country."
Gilchrist said the Minutemen have already helped round up scores of illegals.
"About 300," he told Hannity. "And about 40 of those were from an aerial observer who was up six hours yesterday in his aircraft."

Not IMO, it you who is willing to have that happen due to your overwhelming ethnic animus.
Don't forget about Candian Health Care lover...
1) Do not look directly into her eyes.
2) Begin and end every sentence with her with courtesy and reverence. Punctuate everything with "Senator", "Ma'am", "whatever you want", "Whenever you want it", and "Yes, I didn't need my soul anyhow, Ma'am."
3) Do not look directly into her eyes.
4) Don't speak unless questioned direcly by the Pre- Senator.
5) Surrender your wallet. 6) Do not look directly into her eyes!
7) Ask her if she can appoint Chelsea as her A.G.
and finally
8) Shower. Again and again and again.
What are you talking about, #1 control freak, hillary, has been invited by your heroes the minutemen.
Another example of ehtnic animus overriding normal brain functions on FR.
No wonder you are more than willing to pray at the altar of hillary.
This might be just what the doctor ordered to get the cowardly Repulicans off of their asses before Hillary takes the illegal immigration issue away from them and uses it to win the whitehouse(god forbid).
Like I told another poster earlier on this thread, you should lay off whatever you are smoking.
You should lay off calling anyone who doesn't agree with your tiny minority a racist.
LOL, yeah the doctor I would have to wait 2 weeks to see under hillarycare.
Like I said before on this thread, ethnic animus makes normal brain functions disappear, IMO.
Good one...
"Like I said before on this thread, ethnic animus makes normal brain functions disappear, IMO."
Show it.
Show me where I have called anybody a racist on this thread.
Brilliant move. It would make the GOP and its head executive get off center and do something about our borders. The public is getting sick and tired of the spineless, self-serving GOP leadership.
Forcing her to put up or shut up. The more we do that, the more she'll be forced to show her true Marxist colors.
