WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressmen Tom Tancredo (R-CO) decried a recently-disclosed U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) practice of tipping off the Mexican military to the location of Minutemen volunteers. According to a story in this morning’s Inland Daily Bulletin, CBP notifies the Mexican government of when and where the Minutemen are planning to monitor the border and if violence is used by the Minutemen against illegal aliens. There has not been one verified instance of Minutemen volunteers using violence against illegal aliens.
“The Mexican military doesn’t exactly have a ‘good government’ reputation. The Border Patrol has documented more than two hundred incursions into the U.S by the Mexican military, and Texas sheriffs even apprehended Mexican government vehicles that were used to ferry drug runners across the border. By tipping off Mexico’s military to the Minutemen’s location, the U.S. government is asking for trouble,” said Tancredo.
“Heavily-armed military officials stationed only yards from civilians are at least intimidating. I can only surmise that the Border Patrol bureaucrats’ spying is meant to have a chilling effect on the Minutemen’s recruitment of more volunteers,” said Tancredo.
“The Minutemen haven’t been accused of breaking the law. Quite the contrary—they have gone out of their way to aid law enforcement and ensure the safety of our border. The U.S. government has no grounds upon which to stifle the Minutemen’s constitutional right to organize,” Tancredo concluded. “I want to know the legal basis for CBP informing a foreign government of the activities of private citizens who are obeying the law.”
Maybe after November is passed we should start a draft Tancredo for President campaign.
I've made a couple of donations to the Minutemen (I would be a member if there was a Wyoming Chapter).
I wonder if the Bush Administration is spying on me?
"GA didn't waste any time in passing an anti-abortion law to put the test right to the "new and improved" Supreme Court, did it?
Didn't they also just put the 10 Commandments back in the Courthouse?
I sort of thought that we were going to see shades of 1861 over that one last time the Atheist majority forced it's removal."
No to the first one.
I don't get what the heck you're blabbing about at all.
Good point.
The irony isn't lost on me -- they are fleeing Mexico because of a failed system, but they are so used to a socialistic system and quickly find a way to utilize the socialist means we have available to them and when we can no longer afford to support the hords that have arrived since 2001 and become a clone of Mexico, where will they go then?
I wouldn't doubt it.
Minute Men March on the 19th.
Freepmail me the details and I'll see if I can switch my appointments that day.. thanks.
I don't.
Reading through Michelle's info I smell Chertoff in this debacle -- too much lawyerease.... I really regret the 911 Commission thought we needed yet another layer of government called HLS.
It's no coincidence that their fearless leader Vicente recently moved to legalize drugs in that degenerate country of his. Wonder what his cut of the stash is? And his percentage of depraved travel agents enticing US citizens over the border to take drug vacations? GWB stopped it....for now.
Gary Hart? THE Gary Hart?
We did that last year but a Carter appointed federal judge got in the way. The law simply required a state ID for voting. GA sort of hurt themselves by not having more places available to obtain a state ID but I still feel that it will win the appeal.
She's 30 points ahead of Goldwater in the polls and Pederson is gaining on Kyl -- see a trend here?

Most patriotic folks (at least the well-informed ones) have heard of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), often called America's "Shadow government." Books have been written about them over the years that have been duly noted in patriotic circles but unfortunately not in many other places. The first one, I believe, was one by former FBI agent Dan Smoot back sometime in the 1960s called "The Invisible Government." Smoot and others since claimed, and quite correctly, that just about every administration, Republican or Democrat has, over the past several decades, been staffed with hacks from the CFR. This group permeates all areas of society, the media, education, the military, Congress, etc. They are foremost among those seeking to make the United States part of a one-world government. (You might, at this point, wonder how treason is defined.)
Anyway, this august organization, so bound to eliminate all vestiges of our national sovereignty, has issued a 59 page report entitled "Building a North American Community." Sounds all warm and fuzzy doesn't it--all bosom buddies in this wonderful, cozy, socialist continental village with no borders, where immigrants are free to go anywhere they want to with no restrictions whatever. According to "World Net Daily": "This CFR document asserts that President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin 'committed their governments' to this goal when they met at Bush's ranch and at Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005...It was at this same meeting, grandly called the North American Summit, that President Bush pinned the epithet 'vigilantes' on the volunteers guarding our border in Arizona."
The same article mentioned that several of these radical Leftist illegal immigration groups have been funded by the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations. Are you surprised?
Years ago, back in the Viet Nam era, I read a book by one James Simon Kunen, called "The Strawberry Statement: Notes of a College Revolutionary." That work came to mind as I read the World Net Daily article. Kunen was part of the collegiate revolutionary Left in the late 1960s and early 70s. He mentioned in his book how people from the Business International Roundtables were in the process of "buying up radicals." He noted how these people wanted Eugene McCarthy in as president. He observed that these people felt that if the Leftist radicals really acted up that would only make McCarthy look more reasonable and hence advance his chances for election. Kunen described these people as "the left wing of the ruling class." And he noted: "We were also offered Esso (Rockefeller) money. They want us to make a lot of radical commotion so they can look more in the center as they move to the left." So the 60s Leftists got Rockefeller money and now the illegal immigrant groups who wish to sever the Southwest from the rest of the country are getting Rockefeller funding also. Something smells and it's not Swiss cheese!
And then, lo and behold, the Communist Party in this country has gotten into the act. They are promoting an "Immigrants Right Action Packet" in which they urge their comrades and other fellow travelers to work for the defeat of HR 4437. This is the bill that would penalize those who knowingly help illegals as well as the illegals themselves.
The Party is also pushing something called the "2006 Immigrant Rights Club Education Guide." This is put out by their "education" commission. In part it states: "This educational has the goal of upgrading our understanding of the struggle for immigrant rights and against repressive immigration legislation which is taking place right now throughout the country...The club should invite guests to participate in this educational discussion of the immigrant rights struggle and immediately distribute the educational guide with the attached reading materials to all who will be involved."
What this really amounts to is that the Communist Party USA is doing its part to promote the concepts and groups that the Rockefeller Foundation is also funding. The Reds howl about injustice being perpetrated by big corporations in this country, but they are, in reality, doing the bidding of some of those corporations, just at a little lower level. You might say that the Communists have become the "running dogs" of international coroprate fascism.
If the radical Leftists in the 1960s and 70s got Rockefeller money and now these Left-wing illegal immigrant groups are getting the same, what does that tell you about where the supposed "big business" types really are? Kunen was probably right when he labeled them as "the left wing of the ruling class." But the Reds do their bidding (and hope you don't notice) and the funding to keep them going comes from the tax-free foundations. Interesting little set-up--pressure from above (Rockefeller money) and pressure from below (the radicals) and the American people caught in the middle and squeezed.
Yep. Sans Donna Rice. But the Patriot Act Supporters seem to like this idea of his.
It does beat all, the media and the President in lock step with one-another, whodathunk?
I am really concerned for Kyl's seat. Pederson's crap is everywhere. I think he is creepy.
Our Government has too many agencies which arrogantly operate as Governments unto themselves. The Minutemen need to organize and become a National Party. A CONSERVATIVE Party. And, when they win in significant numbers, the need to clean house.
