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."

He doesn't support criminals - millions have been exiled since he took office

They weren't exiled, they broke the laws to enter this nation, therefore they are criminals.

- he doesn't support vigilantes either.

Nobody said anything about vigilantes, we are talking about the Minuteman patrols.

BP Apps are not arrests and are not public knowledge.

Silly me. Detaining someone under color of law, back in my days as a cop, was called an "arrest." Even if it was an "administrative matter."

Every elected official showing condescension to the above desire doesn't deserve his post!

I firmly believe that one could take people off the street at random in their respective home districts and replace most of the House and Senate with them armed with a pamphlet explaining the job and voting rules and get a better result.

Wasn't it though?

In spades!

We operate a little differently down on the border.

this is a ploy by the marxist to mislead us all.

What we need is transparency. : )

Someday soon, our idiotic govt is gonna push the wrong button on someone, and the crap is going to hit the fan. Chaos will escalate rapidly. Citizens will find themselves in the middle of the biggest battle since Gettysburg.

American LEOs killed by illegals each year?

I do not have those stats at hand

--

BUT:

I do know the 1999 FBI-DOJ uniform Crime Report stated (from my memory folks! look it up yourself - do not bug me if you are too bloody lazy to GOOGLE the FBI site) about 356 LEOs were killed by criminals in 1999 - (not just illegals)

CURRENTLY:

About 35% of all convicted felons in federal prisons are illegals

About 35% of all illegals in the USA are collecting welfare

95% of all Sheriff's outstanding warrants for violent criminal felons in Los Angeles are for illegals

The 10,000+ I quoted to you is accurate because I just did a FR thread comment on it recently:

12 Americans murdered by ilegals every day

13 Americans killed by drunk driver illegals every day

10,125 Americans murdered &/or killed by illegals in 2003

SOURCE:

FBI-DOJ 2003

As this is 2006 - please allow for higher numbers of Americans killed by illegals in 2004, 2005, and 2006

A gross miscarriage of justice, or protections, for American citizens and American Law Enforcement Officers.

That would mean peering into their souls. That job of peering into souls has already been taken. *snicker*

Travis McGee is a great and patriotic American and undeserving of your sneer. Were you but half the man he is.
