A year after their first watch-and-report operation along the border in southeastern Arizona, members of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps embarked on a much larger effort in the busy migrant-smuggling corridor.

What great pictures of some fantastic people!!
Thank you.

"...a half-dozen speakers praise their efforts and call the Minutemen heroes..."
And so they are!
Imigration is a privilage!! If you think you have a right go F**** your self. We have to stop this illegal practice. Send them home to fix their own damn country. Why do we have to be the ones to always help the needy when their own country won't lift a finger to help their own. MEXICANS GO THE F*** HOME. I personally don't need you to pick ONE FRIGGEN strawberry.
Any of them running for congress this year? Gilchrest got a good 25% of the vote when he ran in that special election in the fall, they should make a go for it, run in the Republican primaries, or as independents. Might scare the GOP into doing what's right.
"President Bush and Mexican President Vicente Fox support a so-called guest worker program that would allow illegal immigrants already holding jobs in the U.S. to stay".
You are either part of the solution to the alien invasion or you are part of the problem.
Which is President Bush?
PING for some real Patriots of America!
Time for the real conservatives on FR,
be it Republicans, Independents or Democrats
(like Zell Miller and John O'Neill) to band together
and oust the looney left and RINO's
I noticed the number of white-haired seniors in the mix of volunteers.
They probably feel like I do. 'We've been patient long enough. If the government won't do anything...we'll do it for them!'
Courageous men and women. True patriots.
If we can't be there, we should each send the Minutemen a check to help with supplies, rent, possible legal fees, etc.
Undocumented border patrolmen doing the job government refuses to do. Patriots all.
They're all GREAT pictures, with deep meaning behind them....but #3 is something else. This mess must be killing him...
I wonder how many tours of duty some of these "old farts" served ? :)
If this country falls, they will have served one time too many.
"so-called guest worker program"
Even the LSM is starting to pick up on the farce!
God Bless Our Minutemen, our Border Patrol agents, and our brave men in women in law enforcement who are helping turn the tide.
