Sunday, Updated: 11:06 PM The Minutemen are counting down the hours until they start patrolling.
RAYMONDVILLE--Al Garza says he knows some valley residents don't want the Minutemen here but he also says he's on a mission.
Garza is the Texas and Arizona Minutemen president.
He says his mission is simple. He and his volunteers will travel between Roma and Brownsville to watch the border.
Garza says they'll be on the lookout for illegal immigrants and smuggling operations. He says his volunteers will be non-confrontational and non-violent and if they Minutemen see any illegal activity they'll simply call the authorities.
Texas Minutemen bump!
Video Ping!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off this South Texas/Mexico ping list.
I saw Mr Garza interviewed on the local news last night. He named several organization who oppose them and will try to discredit them. One being the Brownsville Dem party. Garza says it won't happen, they won't let the opposition get over on the Minutemen.
That's a big area they plan to patrol and will be hotter than hades for now. We're at 107 degrees heat index right now. Roma is in Starr county and that's no mans land. Lots of crime there with little law enforcement, which is corrupt.
Ranches are private property!
Cool front is supposed to be here Thursday!;^)
Minutemen will operate in Falfurrias [Texas]
