Minuteman organizer James T. Gilchrist, whose 850 volunteers shut down the flow of illegal aliens along a 23-mile section of Arizona-Mexico border last month, has joined forces with another citizens group to help organize a new border vigil in California -- beginning in August. The Minuteman Project has reached an agreement with the Friends of the Border Patrol (FBP) to help promote a new "border watch" aimed at assisting U.S. Border Patrol agents in apprehending illegal aliens on the California border near San Diego. Click to Visit FBP Chairman Andy Ramirez said more than 500 volunteers have signed up to patrol areas of the California-Mexico border in August, including former Border Patrol agents, retired police and military personnel and pilots. He said yesterday that at least 2,000 more applications from volunteers nationwide are still being reviewed. The California vigil will kick off an effort by the Minuteman Project to link anti-illegal immigration groups nationwide and create a network of civilian volunteers along the nation's borders, said Mr. Gilchrist, who lives in Aliso Viejo, Calif. He said he also intends to target employers in the near future who knowingly hire illegal aliens. "We did in our first 10 days what the federal government and Congress couldn't do over the past 10 years," Mr. Gilchrist said.

Sooner or later someone is going to get hurt doing this.
This government was set up to be of the people,by the people ,for the people. The people are voting, they are protesting they are doing the governments job , but they are being ignored by their government.
What will it take for Mr, Bush and our Congresscritters to listen? We have had a bellyfull of illegals. Both parties are so consumed in buying the vote of Hispanics that they ignore the people of the United States.
(President Bush's blood pressure rises, ROLAIDS have no effect.)

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,
1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.
I'm still confused about what invasion means.
:~)
""We did in our first 10 days what the federal government and Congress couldn't do over the past 10 years," Mr. Gilchrist said."
The feds, Bush and the senate have been ENCOURAGING illegal immigration, which is a funny way of stopping it!!

Thanks for posting this.
BUMP.......
AMERICANS just doing the job...... American POLITICIANS refuse to do.
Sounds like a good idea to me.
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Be Ever Vigilant!
Minutemen Patriots ~ Bump!
Thank you for making this reminder public. The executive and legislative branches obviously need such reminders.
Our government doesn't worry about Americans getting hurt - they're too busy telling us about the "poor undocumented immigrants who risk their lives crossing the desert".
Every phone call or letter I get from Republicans asking for donations ~ I tell them that I will resume donating money to them when they start protecting our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders.
They sputter and say they don't have anything to do with policy, I just tell them to pass the word to the policy makers. :)
Be Ever Vigilant!

At this point, the politicians are wearing blinders and imagining they will get millions of new followers via the illegals. Until their campaigns get impacted by folks like us that refuse to donate, they'll continue to ignore us. Unfortunately, our numbers are few at the moment and we're not likely to see much of a change of heart from these folks soon.
I'm convinced it will take another 9/11 with terrorists coming through Mexico before these folks will act.

Hey lady - I guess we're on for August in San Diego. I thought there was another thread around about another group doing a border watch in June. Let me know if you hear any specifics! I'll pack my sunscreen and hat and be ready.
