Oh, but unlike YOU, I AM "informed". I do know about that and it isn't the MCDC people doing that, up north.

That's not the Minutemen, despite what the article says, that's mostly locals who live in the Blaine, Washington area, patrolling on horseback and ATV's alongside the Border Patrol. The FOX News Channel's reporter based in Seattle had a report on the FOX Report With Shepard Smith, and he spent the day with those out on patrol on horseback not long ago.

The locals know more about the rough terrain in the back country better than the Border Patrol officers (who are usually shipped in from elsewhere) do.

This part of the border where I live had 2 agents stationed here, patrolling over 300 miles between the two of them. Since 9/11, there are now 24 agents patrolling that same 300 miles of border, and most of them had originally been posted down in Arizona.
