ACLU Engaging in Criminal Activity; Aiding Illegal Aliens Entering U.S. and Smoking Dope
S.E.ARIZONAREPUBLICAN ^

Posted on 04/21/2005 6:05:48 AM PDT by Happy2BMe

American Civil Liberties Union activists shadowing the Minuteman Project at the U.S.-Mexican border in Arizona are actively aiding and abetting aliens attempting to enter the country illegally, said a spokesman for the volunteer civilian force.

Grey Deacon told Joseph Farah's nationally syndicated "WorldNetDaily RadioActive" audience yesterday that ACLU monitors sent to the border to watch Minuteman activity and report civil-liberties abuses to authorities have begun flashing lights, sounding horns and warning off illegals and their "coyote" human smugglers from entering territory patrolled by the volunteers.


"They are actively engaging in criminal activity," said Deacon.

Deacon said the ACLU activists are resorting to new tactics because of the success the Minuteman Project is having in assisting the Border Patrol in spotting illegal aliens and in generating publicity about the insecure U.S.-Mexico border.

The ACLU dispatched its representatives to the 23-mile section of the Arizona border patrolled by the Minutemen after predicting the group would abuse the rights of illegal aliens. No such abuses have materialized to date.


"The ACLU's position is that illegal aliens have a right to enter our border and stay in this country as long as they want," said Deacon. "That's what one of the leaders of the group told me personally."

Deacon said the ACLU representatives make noises and flash lights as a signal to the illegals and their human smugglers that the area is being patrolled. Thus, he said, those intent on entering understand they should move on to other areas of the border that are wide open for illegal entry.

The Minuteman Project has attracted hundreds of volunteers, many legally carrying guns and waving flags, from across the country. They plan to keep watch around the clock until the end of the month, intimidating illegal aliens with their presence and alerting the Border Patrol via cell phones or radios when they see people crossing.

Just as important, they want to send a message to the White House and the rest of the country that something must be done about the country's border policies.

President Bush has referred to the Minutemen as "vigilantes." And some Border Patrol officials have suggested members of the group are interfering with the government's work.

The ACLU has claimed the group is creating a "powder-keg situation" on the border that could lead to violence.


Since the volunteers began arriving March 30, the number of illegal immigrant apprehensions along the stretch of border has dropped significantly.

"It's worked," said Chris Simcox, one of two primary organizers. "The news is going across the border, and we've virtually shut down this whole area."

In addition to assistance from the ACLU, illegals – including drug-runners – are getting assistance from the Mexican army, say Border Patrol sources and other officials including a U.S. congressman.

Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, has denounced the Mexican military for escorting illegals, their "coyote" human smugglers and drug-runners to other parts of the border unpatrolled by the Minutemen.

"President Bush should publicly denounce Mexico's latest act to curb U.S. law," said Tancredo. "The president of Mexico is threatening to sue any member of the Minutemen who have contact with a Mexican national, threatening to take the U.S. into the International Court of Justice at The Hague over the passage of Prop 200 in Arizona, and is providing transportation to Mexican nationals trying to sneak into the U.S. One could say he is acting in the best interest of his nation. Isn't it unfortunate we cannot say the same thing about President Bush?"

Border Patrol sources say the Mexican army recently moved about 1,000 troops to the Agua Prieta region, just south of where the Minutemen are. These troops, the sources say, are diverting all of the illegal alien and drug-smuggling traffic away from the Minutemen.


The volunteers focused on the border area near Naco, Ariz., because it had become one of the highest traffic corridors for border-crossing illegal aliens. Last year, more than 40 percent of the 1.15 million illegal aliens caught by the Border Patrol were taken into custody in the southern Arizona region.

Quisling A word Norwegians are not very proud of having given to the world: it derives from Vidkun Quisling (1887-1945), a Norwegian politician who collaborated with the Nazis during World War II. He established his name as a synonym for "traitor", someone who collaborates with the invaders of his country, especially by serving in a puppet government. Quisling was found guilty of high treason in 1945, and was executed by firing squad on the 24th October 1945.

These communists will never be convicted in any court, as most judges are as corrupt as they are. What a disgrace our country has become because of our judicial system, and the Republicans continue to wimp out, while Rome burns.

"Victims of crimes by illegals should sue the ACLU for aiding and abetting... it will only get worse until that happens!"

That is the best idea I have heard in a YEAR!!!!!!
Keep bringing this up on FR. Me,I am looking into it today.

"Officers of the court" willfully conspiring to break the law?

Some of these may be practicing attorneys or at least paralegal agents of the ACLU - if not even their paid or subsidized employees......

Does the ALCU and/or other groups actually recruit illegal aliens from outside the borders of the USA and/or within to conspire with and/or to act a "paralegals" or advisors or advocates for illegal aliens? Often for USA taxpayer funded, court awarded legal fees or foundation grants or just leftist agendas?

Is this a "Lynn Stuart" violation of legal ethics and criminal abuse and violation the law by so-called "advocates" or defense attorneys and/or "legal" groups like the ACLU?


Is this a RICO violation of federal, state, and local statutes?

Conspiring knowingly and willfully to enable others to violate a host of laws while claiming immunity as the drug and coyote mob's "consigliere(s)"?

Are they actually the recruiters, enablers, pimps, and conspiring partners of illegal aliens and even traitors and terrorists?

A little ACLU twirp wrote a press release calling Sean Hannity a criminal who broke federal border statutes by "entering the USA" illegally without going thru an official entry point or notifying the Border Patrol or US Customs Service when he stepped thru a hole in the fence on(at/near?) the Arizona-Mexico border and then again back thru - the ACLU attorney then called for the arrest of Sean Hannity and notified the US Border Patrol - and stated the penalty for violating that statute is one (1) year in prison.

The ACLU claims is videotaped Sean breaking the law by illegally crossing back into the USA - But Sean on his WABC 770am NYC-based talk radio show on his FOX News Channel "Hannity & Colmes" TV show stated that the US Border Patrol and federal official assured him that he had not broken any laws or crossed the border illegally - as the fence is inside USA territory and three feet from Mexican land.

Has the ACLU crossed illegally well into Mexico and back into the USA to talk with coyotes, Mexicans and others planning to cross into the US and/or even Mexican officials, military, and/or government paid "advocates" dressed in red jackets? Videotaped by the MPP perhaps?

Has the ACLU "crossed the line in the sand"?

Has the ACLU become the sacred "legal" cartel in the unlawful "run for the border"?

All good questions to which the answers are a complete and total indictment of that fifth column enterprise known as the ACLU. Bottom feeding scum, every one of them and their apologist supporters ought to be run out of the country.

Thanks and great post. The ACLU is a protected arm of the Communist Party.

Thanks for #18 and #19.

Some folks will say those pics are doctored. Others who know the ACLU and the types of bottom dwellers that inhabit their ranks would never question those are marijuana joints.
