Well as far as I am concerned the Border Patrol's refutation was pretty weak. Calling the report "inaccurate" is not the same at least in my mind as labeling completely false, which is what they should do if it is in fact a fabrication. Futhermore, when I read:

"Kristi Clemens, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection, would not elaborate on the agency's statement other than to say the U.S. gives information to Mexican officials under the rules of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations of 1963, which provides foreign nationals being detained by a government the right to consular access. "

If the minuteman claim that exact information regarding the number of volunteers and a base of operations was provided to no one outside of law enforcement, and that information appears on a Mexican Government run website, then it's hardly a stretch to believe that some agency provided said information.

It still sounds to me like, in fact, information is being shared if not by the Border Patrol then by another agency.

The Minutemen are on TV almost every night...they are in the desert Southwest...and they aren't hiding...

So, why is it any surprise to anyone that the Mexican Government would know where they are??

The US Govt doesn't have to tell them...and they don't.

Yes, another agency is spying on the Minutemen, giving hourly reports to Mexican Illegal Command Central who can then give the coyotes real-time direction.

Oddly enough, even though the Minutemen are on the lookout, they've never spotted these mysterious agents.

If you want to believe something badly enough, you'll figure out a way to do it.
