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.

TUCSON, Ariz. -Pretending to be cocaine traffickers, undercover FBI agents in Arizona snared 16 current and former law enforcement officers and U.S. soldiers who accepted more than $222,000 in bribes to help move the drugs past checkpoints, the government said Thursday.
Those charged include a former Immigration and Naturalization Service inspector, a former Army sergeant, a former federal prison guard, seven members of the Arizona Army National Guard, five members of the Arizona Department of Corrections and a police officer, officials said.

What kind of Conservative are you to Call out President Bush on Decisions that he has made regarding Border Security.
Of course what we should do is let our President Continue with his Swiss Cheese Border Policy and well all the illegals vote for Hillary in 2008 and she becomes President we can then Attack President Hillary for her Open Borders Policy.
But for now please Drink the Kool-Aid and Support the President's Policy.
maybe the FBI will be told to stand down, too.
I know there are people in Congress and the Executive Branch who read FR. Yall had better be reading this. The backlash is building by the day.

Oh right, the Libertinearians. You'd be the guys who think this is a good idea.
Not until the good people of Arizona send McCain packing and replace him with a Tancredo type republican, nothing will get done. McCain is not on your side. He sees all the beer sales to his wifes company.
Ordered, by whom?
I'm rather libertarian and I don't think this is remotely a good idea.
libertarian is not the same as Libertarian.
The Big L Libertarian party supports open borders - look at their platform.
"Pull out your copy of the Constitution to see which branch of Government has executive authority over Federal Agencies."
I think we should donate our Constitution to Iraq. They need a good one, and we don't use it much anymore anyway.
Tucson and Naco BP supervisors that's who.
Read the article.
That's true, and it's the stupidest part of their platform. I'm really not sure how they rationalize it in the context of the Constitution, although it makes sense in the context of absolutely minimal government (which isn't what the Constitution is about; the Constitution is about limited government, not about anarchy). You could call me a Constitutional libertarian perhaps, but I am not a Big L Libertarian.

Infuriating. We need to scream long and hard about this one.
I'm a little-l libertarian too.
The Libertarians should change their name to the Radical Minarchist Party, just to be honest.
Or they could call themselves the Smurfs. After all, they have fanciful imaginations and a tendency to turn blue.
