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.

....Insurrection?
That puts them on a level with Sunni's and Shia's in Iraq.
I'd prefer enemy combatants.
Missed this part the first time around.
BTTT
Travis MCGee banned???? I don't think many people know this. How can JR ban a true American? It should have it's own thread.
And Operation Wetback proved that they can be deported en masse.
The President never called them (minuteman) vigilantes
What did he call them than? I remember during that time many people were saying that. I briefly remember hearing him talking at that time but don’t remember exactly what he called them, but I did think it was vigilantes too.
Not sure why you decided to bring up a year old thread
But reread my post .... He never named the minutemen ... He was talking about the trouble makers, who at the time were threatening to cause trouble at the border
I don’t either seriously. I was going down the list and did not know it was so old. Maybe I just wanted to FREEP ya. lol.
BUMP. Look how far we have come.

Bush Takes On Opponents of Immigration Deal
.....If you want to scare the American people, what you say is the bills an amnesty bill, Mr. Bush said this afternoon at a training center for border enforcement agents located in this town in Georgias southeastern corner. Thats empty political rhetoric, trying to frighten our citizens.
Freedom fighters.
