by persuading those intending to cross over legally from Agua Prieta, Mexico, to Douglas, Ariz., not to do so for several hours.

Ooooooh!!! I'm soooo scared!!!

[Patti_ORiley]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't individuals or groups that help or enable illegal immigrants enter this country committing a crime?

"On May 1, the National Alliance for Human Rights will try to "close the border' by persuading those intending to cross over legally from Agua Prieta, Mexico, to Douglas, Ariz., not to do so for several hours."

This is pathetic in that it will not accomplish anything. It is doubly pathetic in that they probably won't be able to pull even this off anyway.

Go Minuetmen!!

[kellynla]

NINE BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR!

That's what it's costing taxpayers to allow illegals to stay here. NINE BILLION!

Semper Fi,

Helping people break the law - can not they be arrested and charged with conspiracy?

That ought to work really well. NOT.

According to an article on yahoo, the Minuteman Project ended when the media left...???

Sounds to me like they're targeting legal immigrants and visitors.

[SF Republican]

Hopefully they will not use heavy handed tactics to "persuade" these people entering legally, that could get very ugly.

[RonF]

Actually, they don't seem to be giving any aid to anyone who's intending to commit an illegal act. Read it again.

Navarro and others argue that some sort of legalization program would be the best way to resolve the immigration crisis.

The primary way to end it, is to enforce our laws and CLOSE OUR BORDERS TO ILLEGAL TRAFFIC. Thank you Washington, DC. Then allow ONLY LEGALIZED immigrants to enter under government control and the threat of U.S. law if they don't play by the rules. Just for openers.

In addition, many residing in the United States go to Mexican pharmacies as well as dental and doctors' offices, he said

BS! County hospitals all over the USA are being used to treat everything from runny noses to kidney transplants for illegals. (yes, kidney transplants! my local one did). All this at great cost to taxpayers!

[cripplecreek]

I'm a little confused by this tactic. It's like shopping at Wal Mart to protest globalism.

So let me get this straight. If you are trying to enter the US legally, this group wants to stop you. However, if you want to cross illegally, this group has no problems. Does anybody else see a small flaw here????

uhm..some sort of legalization program...wouldn't there already be some sort of legalized way to enter the country? Oh wait, how silly of me to forget. It's not that they want a legal way to enter the country, but they don't want to worry about the U.S. laws while entering the country....

[NonValueAdded]

Gee, that's like threatening to shut down the government. My response is, "so what's the downside?"
