U.S. tipping Mexico to Minuteman patrols (telling the Mexican government)

While Minuteman civilian patrols are keeping an eye out for illegal border crossers, the U.S. Border Patrol is keeping an eye out for Minutemen -- and telling the Mexican government where they are. According to three documents on the Mexican Secretary of Foreign Relations Web site, the U.S. Border Patrol is to notify the Mexican government as to the location of Minutemen and other civilian border patrol groups when they participate in apprehending illegal immigrants -- and if and when violence is used against border crossers.

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman confirmed the notification process, describing it as a standard procedure meant to reassure the Mexican government that migrants' rights are being observed.

"It's not a secret where the Minuteman volunteers are going to be," Mario Martinez said Monday.

"This ... simply makes two basic statements -- that we will not allow any lawlessness of any type, and that if an alien is encountered by a Minuteman or arrested by the Minuteman, then we will allow that government to interview the person."

Minuteman members were not so sanguine about the arrangement, however, saying that reporting their location to Mexican officials nullifies their effectiveness along the border and could endanger their lives.

"Now we know why it seemed like Mexican officials knew where we were all the time," said Chris Simcox, founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. "It's unbelievable that our own government agency is sending intelligence to another country. They are sending intelligence to a nation where corruption runs rampant, and that could be getting into the hands of criminal cartels.

"They just basically endangered the lives of American people."

[sinkspur]

Are you saying that he is lier?

Did your mother lie when she told you that she was going to look under the bed to make sure there was no boogeyman there?

Same thing. Bush has to treat the liberals and the press like children.

Thanks, you sharp tongued, miserable shrew.

Now back to your broom.

Thanks for that link. All those people who were calling for a denial though will now insist that the denial is fake.

[Peach]

IT'S ALL A LIE. CHECK OUT THIS BULLETIN FROM THE BORDER PATROL. THEY DO NOT REPORT THE MINUTEMEN. MY INITIAL REACTION WAS CORRECT.

Nope we were betrayed by our own we voted in

[sinkspur]

You folks have been had. You're so anxious to believe anything any dubious source spews out about Bush that you'll lap up nonsense taken off of a Mexican website (when did people around here start believing Mexican websites?)

Time for red faces all around.

[djf]

What the hell?? "...will not allow lawlessness of any type..."

But if it's a Mexican doing the lawlessness, well, that's just peachy keen...

[XenaLee]

How do we know this story is even true? Is there any other source for it? One that we've heard of before?

I'm seeing leftists post an awful lot of bs/crap lately, with the intention of stirring up conservatives and make them so disenchanted with the Reps that they might vote for Dems or not vote at all.

Personally, I'm going to be extremely careful re: which articles and stories I believe as credible, especially from now until election day.

Remember how lefties love to spread propaganda. We need to validate each and every story (like this one) before getting all bent out of shape and going off the deep end.

[JustPiper]

Hipshot glad to see you, been looking for you buddy!

[Peach]

I posted on the thread initially that I didn't believe a word of it but was persuaded by freepers who WANTED to believe it.

[ilovew]

You're the one who accused Howlin of being a liar and then you're surprised by the response you get?

[semaj]

I forget. Can someone tell me who the U.S. Border Patrol works for again?

[Peach]

The Border Patrol and the White House say this is a hoax.

That would depend on if an agent of the US government is using traffic camera to inform a foreign entity about the movements of US citizens. As I said a US government agent informing a foreign agent regarding the activities and movements of US citizens is high treason against the constitution.

That being said, no I don't like traffic cameras. They are just another example of creeping tyranny.

[JustPiper]

LMAO thanks for the bushbot thang

[Peach]

You've probably already gotten the ping, but it was a lie and a hoax. The border patrol and WH have denied this is happening.
