If Minutemen Are Vigilantes, What Do You Call 500,000 Illegal Aliens Demanding Rights?
NewsByUs.com ^ | Apr 10, 2006 | Citizen Conservative

When the Minutemen set up shop at the Arizona border last year to call attention to the illegal alien loophole in US Homeland Security, President Bush foolishly chided these brave patriots by calling them vigilantes. Although chagrined at being deserted by the man who has the constitutional responsibility and authority to defend our borders, the Minutemen dug in their heels and persisted. And persisted.

Their Yankee determination to do the right thing was rewarded when President Bush finally sent additional border patrol agents to Arizona. Even the Mexican government was motivated to pay greater attention, at least temporarily, because of the due diligence of heroic Minutemen.

Before the Minuteman took their courageous stand, open border advocates and anti-American liberals insisted it was “impossible” to stop illegal immigration. Best to just accept reality, learn Spanish, and switch to rice and beans as food stables, according to the leftists and Hispanic racists.

Thank God, the Minutemen PROVED illegal aliens CAN be stopped, thereby delivering a great victory on behalf of all American citizens.

I remember when he said it. It pissed me off to no end. Calling those wanting to protect our country and fellow Americans, vigilantes. Many of us will NEVER forget it.

Let them try their spin, it ain't gonna work.

This is nothing short of the Communist conspiracy.

Yes. Witness the surging power of the communists in Venezuela, Bolivia and soon to be Peru.

What would you call people who wanted to shoot other people??

I would call them vigilantes

Though I don't recall the Minutemen Leaders advocating shooting anyone

Though I recall other groups that did

Now, at the time that Bush made his vigilante comments, what border group was getting saturation news coverage?

The Minutemen.

In other words, you have to put his comments INTO CONTEXT.

Where I live they are called gang members. And we have the brown berets protecting them from the law. They don't go down to the border to protect America, they stay in town and maim and kill adults and children, sell black heroin and destroy private property.

None - that I know of - and AFAIK the organizers have a strict "no contact" rule. Which is why I don't call them "vigilantes".

Those who coddle and defend the illegals are as bad as the illegals are.

I guess they think we are supposed to welcome any of the illegals who manage to sneak into oour country with open arms, grant them all rights as legal citizens, let them vote, pay for their schooling, give them welfare and food stamps, free medical care, college tuition, etc.

Nice try, but no stogie. The question was clearly about the Minutemen. Oh, and if Bush had been aware of the Stormfront efforts to join the Minutemen (which I sincerely doubt), he also would have been aware that the Minutemen worked long and hard to keep them out.

I'm sure he was answering the question as asked, but there's no rational evidence to suggest he knew about any group other than the Minutemen.

Do you read the Presidential Daily Briefing?

Then who is/are the "Shoot First and Ask Questions Later" crowd?

I'm really trying to understand your point, but I'm struggling here.

I came across this tidbit, can anyone confirm this:

Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) let the cat out of the bag about what's really behind our trade agreements and security partnerships with the other North American countries. A CFR document spells out a five-year plan for the "establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community" with a common "outer security perimeter." This document, called "Building a North American Community," asserts that George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin "committed their governments" to this goal when they met at Bush's ranch and at Waco, Texas on March 23, 2005. The three adopted the "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" and assigned "working groups" to fill in the details. It was at this same meeting, grandly called the North American summit, that President Bush pinned the epithet "vigilantes" on the Minutemen volunteers guarding our borders.

The United States of North America?

I do find it interesting that they are going to such painful lengths to try and spin this away. Goes to show how powerful a message the Minutemen have sent that they have to try and make it seem like Bush wasn't calling them vigilantes. Especially when you consider that so many agreed with Bush's assessement at the time.
