If Minutemen Are Vigilantes, What Do You Call 500,000 Illegal Aliens Demanding Rights?

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.

Yes 9-11 did not wake them up for to long did it?

It's like we're not even a country anymore- just erase the borders and let anyone from anywhere come at will, have more rights and perks than citizens once had, vote and interfere in our political system. It is truly depressing.

It's anarchy and it has to stop.

Phone the White House now to demand that the U.S. close the southern border.

Good to see you.

You too.You be careful out there. Back in the home state it's growing also. Atomic City now has a substantial illegal population and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand where they are working. What DOD/DOE subcontractor jobs they don't take the local Industrial Parks absorb the rest. Not unusual to see several shinny new Yukons SUV's pulling up at local stores to use Western Union either.

Travis is an imprudent man who verbally "stepped on his reproductive appendage" once too often.

Travis is a Navy SEAL. Which branch of the service did you serve in?

I don't have first hand knowledge of Travis' banning, but I abhor it when violence is advocated, regardless of how hard one is 'pushed.'

That said, I agree with most of joanie's post, and it is exceptionally well written.

Thanks for the ping, Liberator.

If people are traitors and abett an invasion of this country that leads to horrible civil war...then at some point a commission, a tribunal, would determine if they were traitors or not. If they were, that would be a just sentence.

A traitor's demise, BUMP! Bring Travis BACK! Blackbird.

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

Here, here. Excellent post...

That's just simply idiotic. It's exactly what they said about the Irish, or the blacks, or any other ethnic group. And, yes, there were those who said that their (fill in the blank) religious/political/social background made it impossible for them to be good citizens. I heard this for years about the Irish.

....If a deadly toxin is seeping into your house, in higher concentrations each day, do you sit in your livingroom debating among family members how you should attempt to neutralize its toxicity so as to avoid eventual death for you all? And do you quibble incessantly over who should have the power to make such decisions?

Or do you first locate, and seal up, the source of the leak?

Never did I believe that I would live to see the day when the leadership of this country would place more importance on poll numbers, phony economic considerations, special interests, and the desire to win re-election, than on the sovereignty and security of America. And I believed it even less likely that that disgusting and obscene state of affairs would occur with a republican occupying the White House, and republicans in the majority in the house and senate....

Thanks to politicians (both republican and democrat) without character or conscience, obsessively focused on cheap labor and more votes (read: the amassing of personal and ideological power), media that hold in disdain the America that once was, and racist pressure groups, our republic sits on the brink of a terrible abyss from which, for the first time in our history, only the American citizen can pull her back.

Bravo bump!!!

It's exactly what they said about the Irish, or the blacks, or any other ethnic group.

Who is they?

Which 'they' said blacks were going to blow up buildings and kill people for their religious beliefs.

Which 'they' said the Irish were going to blow up buildings and kill people for their religious beliefs.

Please enlighten me on 'they'.

Thanks for the ping F16, good to see you. Yep, when I read joanie-f's incredible post yesterday I too noted those particular lines as 'Perfect'. Her post will be read far and wide.
