While Minuteman civilian patrols are keeping an eye out for illegal border crossers, the U.S. Border Patrol is keeping an eye out for Minutemen -- and telling the Mexican government where they are. According to three documents on the Mexican Secretary of Foreign Relations Web site, the U.S. Border Patrol is to notify the Mexican government as to the location of Minutemen and other civilian border patrol groups when they participate in apprehending illegal immigrants -- and if and when violence is used against border crossers.
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman confirmed the notification process, describing it as a standard procedure meant to reassure the Mexican government that migrants' rights are being observed.
"It's not a secret where the Minuteman volunteers are going to be," Mario Martinez said Monday.
"This ... simply makes two basic statements -- that we will not allow any lawlessness of any type, and that if an alien is encountered by a Minuteman or arrested by the Minuteman, then we will allow that government to interview the person."
Minuteman members were not so sanguine about the arrangement, however, saying that reporting their location to Mexican officials nullifies their effectiveness along the border and could endanger their lives.
"Now we know why it seemed like Mexican officials knew where we were all the time," said Chris Simcox, founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. "It's unbelievable that our own government agency is sending intelligence to another country. They are sending intelligence to a nation where corruption runs rampant, and that could be getting into the hands of criminal cartels.
"They just basically endangered the lives of American people."

It's like kicking yourself in the ba*ls
Hillary!'s not running this year.
One could reasonably argue that having the 'rats gridlock Congress for a couple years could shine more light on the Cockroach who would be Queen...
In addition to being pissed at Bush over this you can thank your Pro-abortion friends. Since we have aborted 50 million of our own citizens, they have to be replaced somehow to prevent economic collapse. One dead American is replaced by a Mexican.
"I had it there but it got pulled as a dup."
You sure that was really why?
Amen, and your not the only one.
I sent this to Drudge and as soon as I clicked the SUBMIT button it was the top story on the page. Glad to hear others are keeping Matt informed. Now let's get the MSM to start talking about this story so we can hear the government's explanation. Maybe Tony Snow can put a happy face on it.
Now, you make sure you point out that you speak for yourself. Because I'll be damned if I'll ever waste a vote on a loser and hand it all over to the rats. I don't know where the hell you get off calling someone else a traitor, when you'd drop your own party because you can't have everything you want all the time.
The money of angry voters not going to the RNC and DNC would likely suffice :>}
Rove counts on increased Hispanic vote to retain control :)
LOL. Or COL
>>This is outrageous! Our government has no business telling foreign governments of U.S. citizens' movements.<<
Don't worry, President Bush will put a stop to this.
HA HA HA!
I made a funny.
Yeah, gotta pay for all the free services for illegals. Have a nice Day!
The Republicans were once a 3rd party as were all others.
It's gonna be a shocker like the Reagan landslide. We'll hear, "How did the GOP lose control? No one I knew was unhappy with the party."

BACK ON TOPIC
My pro- abortion friends (??????) the Rats need 12 to 15 million votes to win any type National election, and illegal aliens along with American felons will do fine.
You'd better teach your children to speak Spanish. In Azlan English only will be fatal.
And still, a surprisingly large number of us, members of a group of the strongest supporters of the Administration, refused to be pushed into giving the preordained answer.
How "normal" people will vote in a real election is an exercise left to the pundits...
"and, having said that, a Gore or a Kerry would have been infintely worse on all counts."
I don't know about that, Jeff. after having followed politics for over 30 years, two things hold true.
1) Republicans are great fighters as underdogs, so I doubt if a moron like Kerry could have done all that much damage.
2) Republicans are lost in the sauce when they have power(Ronald Reagan exception). Bush is hell bent to destroy our language and culture!!
Great post.
Flawed argument. We have an immigration process that we can fine tune to meet the needs of our country. That is not what these criminals are marching through our streets for. They are marching for the right to come and go as they please outside of our legal immigration system. That is what conservatives are fired up about.
