I have the scissors with the rounded tips, do they count when you say, "no running with scissors"? This exchange has become a great amusement for some in my group who have the Internet.

Do we know that we have been hoodwinked into believing that we would have 2000 new Agents on our Border? Yes. Do I think it's right? He11 NO!

Now back to the topic of the thread, do I think the Minutemen will make some kind of difference if they come to our communities? Not really. Oh if they only could. We have seen this type of "action/mission" before on our borders, and it did nothing FOR us. I keep going back to the idea that many effective protests have been taken to our nation's capital, it's too easy for the Government to ignore the Minutemen when they are out here in the desert, doesn't it prove that we do not have the eye of the Government out here when they ONLY give us a fraction of the Border Agents that were PROMISED?

Well it's my opinion (and some of our group would even be willing to join in the protest, if it were being done in Washington instead of down here). Our area is obviously not a priority in Washington, but if the Minutemen wanted to really make a difference perhaps they could do so if they took their numbers and protests directly to the people who CAN make a difference.

If the Minutemen want to come out here to be cowboys or pseudo-Border Patrol Officers then call it what it is~ a chance to get drunk and party with the fellers in the desert. (My opinion).

If the Minutemen want to make a real difference they will take their numbers and their concerns (written by someone besides whomever wrote that tripe on their web page), and draw the elected official's eyes back to their promises and our problems down here.
