No press bias there.
Vigilantes Spark Protests From Civil Rights Groups
That line makes it sound like "Operation Border Watch" is responsible for the protests from the "Civil Rights Groups."
Also, it calls the people involved with "Operation Border Watch" vigilantes, while the next sentence says that they "will not be allowed to commit vigilante or racial violence." This in effect proclaims that they are breaking the law right from the beginning.
I suspect at some point, the Border Patrol will recieve orders not to respond to the MinuteMen...
While they are keeping a "close eye" on the "vigilantes," maybe they could do their job and arrest some of the illegals entering the country.
Does that mean that illegal aliens will be arrested?
This is what happens today in the United States when the citizenry try to uphold the laws of the country: Law enforcement agencies turn against the US citizenry, and leave the criminals alone. Anyone see anything wrong with this picture? When your county sheriff is up for reelection make sure he is on the side of the people who elected him, not the local, state, federal government who seem to loath enforcing immigration laws.
wouldn't it be great if the border patrol and the police were doing their job stopping the illegals in the first place?
Resources to track watchers but none to look for criminal aliens. That's your position Sheriff?

This isn't America anymore. Ignore the invaders, but make sure to keep an eye on those who are trying to discourage the invasion...sickening.
That's what the "news" source employee said, most of 'dem dangerous people carry guns.
Yes, dangerous vigilantes and bigots, of course. Disagreeing with the pro-ILLEGAL immigrant crowd, left and right, you are those things and many more.
But what I wonder about is carrying guns. In California? It's illegal here to say the word g-n. Unless you're a criminal and then of course it's what they do. California law makers understand that and are sensitive to it but it's the law abiding citizens that cannot carry g-ns.
But it does make those critters sound more dangerous, don't it?
This just BEGGS for a comedy sketch where the incompetent CF police are harrassing the border watchers while illegals walk right by unmolested.
You know what would have been really, really cool?
If about 10 years ago, this very headline would have appeared with the last word missing:
Then none of this would have been necessary.
"A group of volunteers that plan to start monitoring the San Diego County-Mexico border this weekend -- and their foes -- will not be allowed to commit vigilante or racial violence, authorities said Friday."
So how many incidents of "vigilante or racial violence" has there been to date? Any? Perhaps they should also warn these men about not beating their wives as well.
They're not vigilantes until they do something illegal, like taking the law into their own hands. It's hard to understand how the media can refer to them as 'vigilanties' simply because they've volunteered to help the police and border patrol by reporting illegal entrants to them.
Someone needs to point out to the Police that the illegals are not likely to vote for pay raises for police departments. The more of them they get the less the Police are likely to benefit.
Citizens who are trying to protect our borders are now "border vigilantes," huh? Maybe the lamestream media idiot who came up with that headline will sing a different song when a family member is the target of a crime committed by an illegal alien.
Saw the hyphenated American on TV who claims their faith based group will be monitoring the Minutemen -and who called the other guy a racist -- Funny hting is the so called faith based group spokesman also said they don't
care if the people coming across are "documented," or not.
Legla-or illegla or drug dealers or OTM doesn't matter this so called faith based group is there to make sure they get free access to that American Pie.Problem I have with such is if they are Christian they ought be concerned with those who obey the Law and those who come to ignore-violate the law. IF they are there to help 'em all their
religion is NOT Christian AND UN-AMERICAN.
Come on cut the crap, that is precisely why "Border Watchers" are there - to bring public attention to massive violations of the law by illegal aliens, while law enforcement does nothing!
