Courage, Ken.
This has been going on for years and years and the federal government not only has not acted, it has even forced us to part with our tax money for perks for these criminals.
An illegal who dies as a result of the Minuteman Project would be a far bigger PR problem, and an American hispanic who was either hurt or killed might be even worse.
It's unlikely to happen if the Minutemen are as disciplined as they were in Arizona, but the drugrunners in Texas aren't going to let the Minutemen stop their trade. The chances of gunfire are a lot higher in Texas, and the Minutemen are going to be underarmed in some situations.
gracias.
we can't win a television war.
Frankly, I'm tired of waiting for the federal government to do its job. The Repubs won't enforce border security because of the payoffs they get from business. The Dims won't enforce border security because they see illegals as Dim voters.
Wow. I know Cornyn is new, but doesn't he have friends or advisers who can clue him in about what an idiot he sounds like? Wait for the "federal government to act"??? That is such a sick joke you don't know whether to laugh or cry....
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Be Ever Vigilant!
Minutemen Patriots ~ Bump!
This is the SAME crap they pulled when the original Minuteman Project was announced for Arizona. EVERY member of the AZ congressional delegation, lead by RINO Rep. Jim Kolbe, (6 Republicans, 2 RINOs, 2 Democrats) signed a letter opposing the Minuteman Project's plans. The Governor condemned it, the newspapers condemned it. It was roundly condemned by all of the "powers that be" but it was a stunning success despite them.
We are at war with our so-called representatives and the entire justice system. It's time WE take control of the situation and tell these rotten bastards to take a hike!!
And that will be....when? Next century?
Seal the border. Now.
Just what action do the feds plan to take along the border? So far, we've heard they're giving some 800 million to Ark. to better meet 'immigrants' needs. How about putting some of that money to work hiring more border agents?
Cornyn said he is preparing to introduce a comprehensive immigration control measure along with Senator John Kyl (R-Arizona) next month. He said he hopes many of the measure included in that bill will address the concerns the Minutemen have been raising.
Of course, waiting until you're called on the carpet about the issue is lame...
"With our enemies exploiting our vulnerability to a porous border, it is important that we move on this issue."
It's interesting to read Tom's explanation of why he ran in the first place. Rather startling.
It had to do with a guy he saw on the steps of the Colorado State Capitol in 1975, ranting about Aztlan in both Spanish and English. The guy had the usual uniform of the day, levi's, t-shirt with slogans, long hair, etc. Basically a Chicano Separatist. Apparently listening to this idiot bugged Tancredo enough with what he was saying that he decided he was going to do something about it, and started getting involved with politics. First at the local level, then later federal.
The punch line is that the guy he saw ranting went on to become well known in his own right. His name was Federico Pena, and after they cleaned him up, he was elected Mayor of Denver, and later Secretary of Transportation by Bill Clinton. They also named the airport in Denver after him.
Charming, huh?
Seems like Delta Force rather than Minutemen are what's needed.
You're right, but the lines aren't that clearly drawn -- Businesses that hire illegals stuff the DNC coffers as well, and the GOP is after those votes you speak of too.
Indeed, the formation of Mexamerica is a bipartisan effort.
What should we expect from some twit being groomed by the other useful idiot senator from Texas by the name of Kay Bailey.
Wasn't Cruz Bustamante involved with one of those hispanic seperatist groups at one time?
