In Washington tonight, a bold new effort to solve our nation's border crisis. Congressman Tom Tancredo of Colorado, Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma today introduced what they called a landmark immigration reform bill. It's called the Real Guest Act, which would raise border security by adding the number of Border Patrol agents on duty.
The legislation would also help U.S. businesses verify their employees are in this country legally. It would penalize employers that knowingly hire illegal aliens. The bill would eventually create a temporary guest worker program, but only after our border has been secured. Congressman Tancredo says the guest worker program would in no way offer amnesty to illegal aliens.
Protests and violence erupting at our border with Mexico as another neighborhood watch group begins in California. Their mission, to protect Americans from the dangers of our broken borders, millions of illegal aliens, possible terrorists and increasingly dangerous drug and human smuggling gangs.
Casey Wian reports from Campo, California.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
CASEY WIAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): About two dozen volunteers from the California Minuteman Project began patrolling a 25-mile stretch of the border east of San Diego this weekend. It's an effort to sustain the momentum created by Arizona's Minuteman Project earlier this year. Though there are fewer illegal aliens crossing the border here, it's a popular route for violent drug smugglers.
MIKE LEFEVE, CALIFORNIA MINUTEMAN: We want to get support for these Border Patrol agents. They're understaffed, they're overworked, and they're doing an unbelievable job out here.
UNIDENTIFIED GROUP: Racists go home! Racists go home!
WIAN: Outnumbering the minutemen, a group of aggressive protesters who tried to drive the civilian volunteers away. They included anarchists, communists and advocates of returning the southwest to Mexico.

$15,000 bounty? They're making somebody real uncomfortable. I'm surprised that doesn't make the FBI sit up and take notice...

GET OUT!! Did they really say that on the air? Has it been cut yet from the rotation?
Ted Turner has to be pissed off about that.

If someone starts killing California Minutemen it will get real uncomfortable for illegals.

" There were also other radical groups. There was one woman during the protest who said, "I'm a feminist single mother, a lesbian feminist single mother. And we've got to protest the minutemen because they're going against us."" Can anybody decode that for me? (Or do you have to be a pothead to understand it??)

Nah, HiJinx, they're just trying to deliver the drugs across the border and partake of the Great American dream. The FBI need not worry bout this. Entrepreneurship at it's best.

WIAN: Chase says federal agents have told him Mexican drug dealers have put a $15,000 bounty on the heads of minutemen. SEAN ISHAM, U.S. BORDER PATROL: I've heard those reports in the past. This area is very dangerous. There's a lot of narcotics smuggling that does go on here, as well as human trafficking. The $15,000.00 bounty has been in effect since the April MMP. We must'a ticked off somebody by interrupting their "travel" plans.
It will go up before it goes down.

..add human smuggling to that drug trafficking corridor
Remember you have a strong MS-13 gang presence in LA. But on the other hand, at the onset of the Arizona Minutemen gathering on their border:
"James Gilchrist, a Vietnam veteran who helped organize the vigil to protest the federal government's failure to control illegal immigration, said he has been told that California and Texas leaders of Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, have issued orders to teach "a lesson" to the Minuteman volunteers"
No MS-13 ever showed.

And Cultural Jihad. Which one was the single-parent, lesbian, mother?

Imagine they were busy doing their hooliganism in LA. Perhaps $15,000 isn't worth their time with their lucrative gang activities.

2002 budget of the Border Patrol alone reached $1.6 billion, while the budget of the INS was $6.2 billion.

Monday, July 18, 2005
The cost to U.S. taxpayers of making a single arrest along the U.S.-Mexican border increased from $300 in 1992 to $1,700 in 2002 an increase of 467 percent in just one decade.
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2005/7/18/121904.shtml That's the shocking report from the Cato Institute's Center for Trade Policy Studies, which takes a critical look at American efforts to stem the tide of illegal immigration from south of the border.
So now it's 2005......lately have found it difficult to find up to date numbers in similar articles, as they all resort back to 2002 and earlier.
