Inland Valley Daily Bulletin Inaccurate
(05/09/2006)Statement Today’s report by the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, “U.S. tipping Mexico to Minuteman patrols,” is inaccurate. Border Patrol does not report activity by civilian, non-law enforcement groups to the Government of Mexico. During a detention of a legal or illegal immigrant that produces an allegation of improper treatment, Border Patrol reports the allegation and allows the appropriate consulate to interview the individual in custody.
This is consistent with the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations of 1963 that provides consular access to foreign nationals being detained by a foreign government. This is the same agreement that protects United States citizens when they travel to foreign countries.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Border Patrol continues to appreciate the efforts of civilians who contact law enforcement authorities regarding suspicious activity.
Peach, the earlier thread that you and I were both on was pulled because it was a duplicate.
I recall a poster in post position #5 or #6 notifying the mod of the duplication.
Are you gonna cry?
I don't care.
The question is, why are you so desperate for it to be a lie?
The question is what is your need to have the facts being posted be a lie?
Is that your better half? ;)
So where did you demand people find out if it was true?
Not at all, I'm laughing hysterically
"The question is what is your need to have the facts being posted be a lie?"
What facts? A PR piece from the border patrol itself?
Yeah right.
For the record, I think if one took a shovel to the Bekka valley, they would find all the Iraqi WMDs they could dig up. There, my bonafides are laid out.
I thought it was his senior portrait.
If you're just popping in here with an intentionally incomplete quote so you can make a silly comparison to Ted Kennedy, then you're acting like a jerk. If you have a point to make, make it in a civil way and I'll listen.
Why didn't you quote the very next sentence I wrote? If you had, then you would've had no reason to make that snarky comment about Ted Kennedy.
Don't bother to reply. I'm through with you.
Correct me if I am wrong but dont the minutemen announce where they are going to be? Its not like they are a secretive organization now since they are trying to do fund raising to support themselves?
Push the button for your meds.
For the love of God, do you realize how IRONIC that statement is?
If not, let me put it to you: why don't YOU give Bush the benefit of the doubt?
It was a duplicate and duplicates are pulled whenever detected.
So if they get killed, they get what they deserve for being out there? Man, this is one of the absolute coldest threads I've ever read.
Guess people dont realize how much bandwidth is taken when duplicate threads are posted..:)
Don't need any, you and your pouting pitchforker friends are all the reason I need to stay away from drugs
That's an unenviable role right now for some, but you have to follow your heart and conscious and I can't fault you for that. Just as I have to follow mine. Our roads go down different paths when it comes to Bush and Illegal aliens. I'll never put a man over my county. Presidents come and go, but, this country, this land will still be here. ;-)
