But then it began to dawn on some of us: we few dozen volunteers were forcing the governments of two nations (as well as the minions of the largest economic enterprise on the planet) to dance to OUR tune.

We need more tune callers like this. Thank you for your service, Mike.

These Minutemen are in the spirit of the men who first stood for their country in 1776...against the wishes of their own government.

"If they keep their heads down and their mouths shut, the contrabandistas will allow them to live."

No American should be forced to live like that.

Unfortunately, that's what the future holds for the rest of us if we fail to gain control of our borders and don't stop the hiring of the illegals.

And we noticed something else: wherever we would set up, the Border Patrol would set up in front of us, and the Mexican Federales would set up in front of them on their side of the border. It was as if both governments were telling the contrabandistas "Minutemen here, do not cross." This impression was solidified in my mind on the last night line operation the Alabama team participated in. Just after dark, a Border Patrol vehicle came down the fence line with its brights on and highlighted our camouflaged position. Shortly thereafter, my assistant team leader with excellent Generation 3 night vision spotted an infrared strobe marking our position several hundred yards in advance of our line. All night long, on both sides of the border, the forces of the US and Mexican governments displayed flashing lights so that anyone would know not to come through there,

To me this represents corrupt Border Patrol Agents who are benefiting from the drug trade in some fashion or another.

I think you are right. There isn't any other conclusion to draw from that.

Why are we the only Freepers rude enough to admit the truth? Just what in the Sam Hell is going on in this forum?
