U.S. tipping Mexico to Minuteman patrols (telling the Mexican government)
Daily Bulletin ^ | 5/9/2006 | Sara A Carter

Posted on 05/09/2006 6:21:25 AM PDT by IrishMike

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."

Your postings on this thread pretty much sum up the width and breadth of that.

So you support a guy that is accused by his own daughter of incest? Man I didn't think the thirst for "heroes" was so intense. I shouldn't be surprised though.

But see when someone even bashes say my brother, as much as I love him, I must consider his failings and not look upon him as some God simply because he is my brother who I love dearly.

Or following say my child or grandchild who is trying to lure me into something that would endanger all of our lives and not trying to make them see the error of their ways

What I'm trying to say is there are alot of chemtrails up there messing with people's thought processes and we must think for ourselves and follow no man or woman blindly

I feel if a debate or disagreement cannot be civil then those not liking what is being said should just avoid that situation, turn the channel, but there is no need for meanness for any reason because people disagree

That's your answer to my question: "What part of "other" are you not understanding?"

I'll have to try to figure out what to do with this.

Each report is long. The second report I haven't started yet, but it looks like it's the longest. The first report is about 6 pages on my word processor. That would be impossible to put on a thread, even one that's designated.

If I "cut and paste" the most relevant portions because of the length, some may think it's "taken out of context" even if it that would have been an impossibility (i.e., in some parts there's very short paragraphs for a particular U.S. state--several different states are listed which have MM projects or other citizens' groups).

Maybe we can try to figure out what to do with the final product.

What everyone here needs to realize is by inciting people it is going to lead to the violence we're trying to avert from happening

Someone is going to get so angry and take a shot at Gilcrist or someone will become so incensed they stab an illegal, you get my drift but we know that is all it's going to take.

All this crap going on here is being manipulated into causing chaos, people trying to create chaos wherever they can and that is precisely what we will get

~sigh

Ain't that true. You would think that people wouldn't go off so half cocked over emotional fact less stories like this and stir up the issue wrongly.

I must say though...the Mexican Government is also provoking a lot of this, I believe, with their own citizens and the illegals which are here. And it's not helpful to stir up American citizens who are already stirred up after the "dancing in the streets" boycott demands by illegals. : )
