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, 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.

GET OUT!! Did they really say that on the air? Has it been cut yet from the rotation?
These "news stations" only care about a ratings edge. What we all need to do now is contact the show this was on, thank them for the information, and say we'll be watching regularly to get more information.
Express your outrage upon learning that there are those who would put a bounty on the heads of US citizens and attempt to thwart their right to protest, and the government isn't supporting the patriots.
The ball, it's beginning to roll, we gotta' do what we can to help those brave folk on out borders.
Mygosh, what would've happened if GWB were President when the South left the union?
They are original with the "racist" shtick.
"Mygosh, what would've happened if GWB were President when the South left the union?"
GWB's version of "open borders" is about sellin' out the country's security by not enforcing the laws so your fat cat buddies have cheap labor. The secession of the South was about leaving the country honorably over fears the federal government will exceed its constitutional powers (legitimate fears, as it turns out). I'm all in favor of the Minutemen, but I can't imagine what Dubya would have done in 1861. Probably hoped Frist botched the secession bill or Tom DeLay bottled it up, then hope the Supreme Court ruled secession unconstitutional, or something equally silly.
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Be Ever Vigilant!
Minutemen Patriots ~ Bump!
Right along with the other half dozen or so hardcore members of FR's resident quisling contingent.
The battle lines are patriotic Americans versus whacked out one-worlders. This feminist lesbian single mom clearly is among the latter. At least she understands the battlefield.
Must be a convention going on somewhere.
The illegal aliens (which includes terrorists, drug dealers, pedophiles, rapists, murderers, violent gangs, etc.) are getting desperate and fear the Minutemen. And so are their enablers or sleeper agents among our politicians and others.
I saw the segment. The Border Guard they had on seemed awfully happy to have the Minutemen. He called the work dangerous as a Guard was recently shot.
The protestors were violent.
LaRaza meeting.
