No vigilantes ; LULAC protesters speak out against Minutemens scheduled arrival in Laredo

LAREDO MORNING TIMES ^ | 09/03/2006 | CELINA ALVARADO

[SwinneySwitch]

Vigilantes means watchmen in Spanish, LULUAC!

[Shimmer128]

unqualified people

Ohhh, you mean CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY???!!!!!

[SwinneySwitch]

LULULAC Ping!

[Wonder Warthog]

My, my, my. The Minutemen sure to have the wetbacks' knickers in a knot, don't they.

[ClaireSolt]

What are the Knights of Columbus or the Rotarians doing this week? Who knows? They are always just helping people. But let cindy sheehan or these #14's assemble ten people and we have to hear their baseless whining.

[Hazcat]

Fernanda Perez, a Mexican citizen with a legal work visa, was among the estimated 15 people...

Why did they have to 'estimate' 15 people, can't they count that high??

[cripplecreek]

"They dont want Mexicans. They are not going to stop and check whether we are here legally."

Tell it to Al Garza, National Director of the Minutemen civil defense corps.

[Captain Rhino]

Vicente Hernandez, another Mexican citizen with a legal work visa, quietly watched the rally from afar and said he had mixed feelings about Saturdays event.

"People who want us out make us feel like animals," he said. "We are not here to take anybodys job or to commit crimes. We are just here to make a living. This is our only escape from a country that is drug-ridden, lawless, poor and 100 percent corrupt."

Hernandez said that though he disapproves of strangers invading the area to kick Mexicans out, he nonetheless feels that something must be done to stop those people that come here illegally with bad intentions.

Vincente is one conflicted LEGAL immigrant.

"We dont know if they have other intentions," Gonzalez said. "Who knows who infiltrates their unit."

What the heck is LULAC? What are their intentions? Who infiltrates their unit?

[ApplegateRanch]

Vigilantes?

How many have the hung, with or without a trial?

How many have they ridden down & shot it out with?

How many have they dragged out of jails, after tying up the sheriff or town marshal?

When did they construct Fort Gunny-bags?

Or is "vigilante" LULAC's new name for Neighborhood Watch?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

In default of government citizens will act! It should be the Army arriving down there. However, as the Good Book says our birthright is being sold for a mess of potage. Citizen intervention is now necessary.

[SwinneySwitch]

"They are not going to stop and check whether we are here legally."

You're right, they call your friends the Border Patrol!

[CPOSharky]

"They are not going to stop and check whether we are here legally."

Just seeing where you cross the border is enough. They do not "stop and check" you. Just keep on lying about the MM to make it sound like what it is not.

[ApplegateRanch]

Why did they have to 'estimate' 15 people, can't they count that high??

No al llevar zapatos. (Not while wearing shoes.)

[Jason_b]

Too funny. Trying to make 15 sound like a lot.

[cripplecreek]

I suspect that Mr. Hernandez is being deliberately targeted and confused by LULAC and a laundry list of open borders orginizations.

[brazzaville]

Good morning.
"Vigilantes means watchmen in Spanish"

And why is vigilance against danger supposed to be a bad thing anyway, eh?

[stopem]

."Protesters said they opposed the coming of the Minutemen"

And WE protest the coming of zillion ILLEGAL, Criminals! Hey lulac, TO BAD SO SAD!!

[SMM48]

Gonzalez said he was suspicious of the outsiders because they are so determined to come despite the fact that they are not welcome here.

Says who?

And, by the way, Frankie, what makes you think you are welcome here?

[seasoned traditionalist]

"Cierre para arriba, y vaya a casa, donde usted pertenece"

("Shut up and go home, where you belong"!!!)

For all you Gringos (acually, I don't Habla Espanol, I just picked this up somewhere)
