U.S. Border Patrol agents have been ordered not to arrest illegal aliens along the section of the Arizona border where protesters patrolled last month because an increase in apprehensions there would prove the effectiveness of Minuteman volunteers, The Washington Times has learned.

add me to the libertarian ping list please.

I believe we should militarize the border patrol. Make them subject to the UCMJ. Then let's see these traitors who will not allow their subordinates to do their jobs, we'll see them at Leavenworth for dereliction of duty.

Our heads will be the heads to roll. Theirs seem to be anchor to the White House!

How about this... If arrests go up, it's because the Minutemen directly handed them over to the BP or herded them to BP because of their prescence.

If arrests go down, It's because the word is out amongst the illegals industry to wait awhile.

"Well Mr. President.....we're waiting"

If we were to have a second 9/11 and it was proven that these monsters came across the Mexican border, our entire government would fall, because the people would BRING IT DOWN.

If you REFUSE to protect your people, you don't deserve them.

Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!

Be Ever Vigilant!

Minutemen Patriots ~ Bump!

What's that, our three branches of government?

Some times I wonder.

Well, we'll see. I'm sure President Bush is going to be receiving many faxes and emails about this. Even though Bush is serving his last term, he still needs everyone's support to get legislation passed, etc. He still needs our support.

[Types_with_Fist]

He still needs our support.

He sure ain't acting like he does.

[SaveTheChief]

If true, this is beyond stupid.

This kind of stupidity will end up costing our country lives, and has most likely jeopardized our national security in ways we can't yet imagine.

Anyone who believes that the only people crossing the Mexican border are Mexicans only looking for jobs is a fool.

[monkeywrench]

I'm surrounded by libs, and they hate the flood of illegals, too.

[Blood of Tyrants]

LOL! That is a GREAT idea!

[TheSpottedOwl]

He sure ain't acting like he does.

Well maybe his fellow elected Republicans can point out the errors of his ways. Many people are taking a closer look at the Constitution Party.

[B4Ranch]

>>He still needs our support.<<

He won't get it from me until he staffs the Border Patrol to the numbers needed to prevent illegal border crossings.

I didn't mean to suggest that it was impossible, but it's very, very difficult. Hoover's solution for the FBI was to send recalcitrant agents to places like Idaho and Alaska. I hope they fire Mr. Nicely, though.

It would seem that is would be easy to blow the lid off this!
