ACLU plans to follow Minuteman Project

Now, wait! Which law enforcement agency does the ACLU represent...hmmmm!?

If the Minuteman Project volunteers violate the law or someone's civil rights, it is up to law enforcement to see it and deal with it. The ACLU and its observers are NOT part of any law enforcement agency. Therefore, by their own definition, the ACLU observers are vigilantes themselves. The ACLU now has no right to complain about the MMP coming to Cochise County to observe and report lawbreakers to the proper authorities when the ACLU itself is sending people to Cochise County to observe and report potential lawbreakers.

No doubt the ACLU is aching to do a smear job on the MMP. Those good folks will have to watch their backs on all sides.

I have great respect for people willing to take action to protect our borders. May God Bless them.

Boy, it would be a damn shame if some of those ACLU city folks got lost out there in that big ol' desert. A damn shame!

"By following the volunteers, the ACLU of Arizona is putting those involved in the Minuteman Project on notice that the violation of the civil rights of "migrants" will not be accepted, Ybarra said."

Seems to me if the Minutemen are on private property then the ACLU folks will be trespassing and subject to arrest.

[co-organizer of the Minuteman Project Chris] Simcox said the ACLU observers can walk along with the volunteers and sit with them. The more presence there is, the bigger the message will be to illegal immigrants, Simcox said. "It will create more of a deterrent," he said.

Once the ACLU fully comprehends this fact and notices that the "weapons" of the MM Project are cell phones and walkie-talkies, they'll bail pretty quickly.

The more people the illegals see, the more likely they are to turn and run...

In the days of clinic sit ins, we used to use the pro-aborts who tried to keep the clinics open to our advantage-- it looked like a giant clusterfudge to women trying to get into the clinic -- it turned about 99% of them away..

Same thing will happen...

Maybe the minutemen should post giant (ie, 5x5 signs) on wooden posts with warnings that immigration officers are in the area and will arrest those trying to get across.

I'm worried some "illegal-phile" will make something up, i.e. LIE, in order to create a negative, anti-MMP controversy.

[Mr. Mojo]

A legitimate concern.

[E. V. Republitarian MD]

Can we allow the illegals to stay and deport the ACLU guys? At least most of the illegals are willing to do an honest days work... the same can't be said for the ACLU.

If the ACLU is against this....uh.....

[mlc9852]

Maybe two for the price of one???

[k2blader]

And if Rush is for it... !

LOL!

[Mr. Mojo]

To Ybarra, the Minuteman Project volunteers are dangerous.

Dangerous to the goals of the Aztlan gang, that is.
