Two busloads of activists on a cross-country tour to highlight the plight of undocumented farmworkers were stopped by the U.S. Border Patrol in El Paso Friday morning.
After four hours of detention and questioning, all the riders were released and were back on the road to San Antonio, a group spokesperson said.

"What can we do about this?" Take to the streets ourselves. If millions of American taxpaying citizens marched on Washington in protest of this (and other things), I wonder if it would have any effect or if they would just kill us all. I'm beginning to think that that is exactly what our so-called "government" wants. Every American who will stand up for our rights and our values killed so that they can get on with their agenda unhindered. The fact that this so-called "Freedom Ride" was allowed to happen at all tells me a great deal. It tells me, for instance, that the rule of law means absolutely nothing anymore. I, therefore, will refuse to abide by the law. If illegal aliens can break our laws with impunity, then why should I have any respect for the law? It also tells me that "our" government really IS intent on "electing a new people."

What can we do about this? I am tired of writing my congressman and senators and getting no results. Call Tom Ridge directly - (202) 282-8000.

According to Frosty Wooldridge on George Putnam's radio show,
the Dept. of Homeland Security has told law enforcement to let them through. Call Tom Ridge - (202) 282-8000.

What chance do citizens have when the government won't enforce the laws or do the jobs the taxpayers are ripped off to pay them for?

Too bad the Federal prosecutors in TX have no balls. Sounds like a criminal conspiracy to me.
To: flamefront
the Dept. of Homeland Security has told law enforcement to let them through. Thereby rendering the term "Homeland Security" a complete misnomer.
Good grief.

Correctomundo...It is Homeland Insecurity...
What's amazing is that law enforcement Nationwide, top to bottom is in on this alien take-over...From Barney Fife to John Ashcroft and George Bush, the oath to uphold and defend the Constitution means absolutely nothing...

This is an outrage. BTW, I am suspect of anyone - anyone - who uses that term "undocumented immigrants." They are not immigrants, and they are ILLEGAL.
To: HiJinx
The person that determined to let these LAW BREAKING CRIMINALS free to roam this country need to be fired. The agents must do as ordered..so we need to find our who issued that order..(Wanna bet that it came directly from the "
HOMELAND SECURITY office?If these illegals are not arrested when they "rally " in Washington maybe the people that have a right to be here should have a pro constitution rally
