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."

Something about this article just makes a calm cool person want to choke an open borders citizenship sellout advocate till he or she poops their panties.
Then, just like the dems can take the black vote for granted, the pubs can count on you.
Translation: They don't need to listen to you, nor to do anything you want them too.
They own your vote, and your soul...
''''WTF Who is in charge of our government VINCENTE FOX?????''''''''
Yeah..
And Kofi Anan is VPOTUS
You finally figured it out?
No, you need someone else to do that for you.
You don't have enough hands to crucify yourself either; you need someone else's help.
This was a post I just made on a duplicate thread that was pulled.
Just reread the article, and I have to leave for a bit so that I can duct tape my head to keep it from exploding. I guess this isn't the Administrations fault either. I mean they are working hand in hand with the Mexican Government against AMERICAN CITIZENS who are breaking no laws by observing illegals and arresting them when appropriate and safe.
I'm strongly leaning that direction as well. I'm past fed up with the Republicrats!!
Whatever "perceived" gain in hispanic votes Bush is counting on will be nullified three times over by conservatives who are on the warpath.
reassure the Mexican government that migrants' rights are being observed.
What migrant rights????????
"I am Hispanic.
I am a Republican.
Do I hate myself?"
E-mail letter to O'Reilly after he had that teacher Mrs. Huerta on...the one
that said that Republicans hate Hispanics.
Since GWB is asleep at the wheel, too bad the governors of CA,TX, NM & AZ don't deploy their National Guard units to the border...the ones who are not already securing the border in Iraq.
It would imply that the government wants to act in your interest and prevent this invasion.
Examine your assumptions.
An out-of-control bloated BIG and growing government, an out-of-control and growing bureaucracy, an out-of-control and ever growing illegal alien invasion all combined will come home to roost for them.
I feel your pain, but we must all realize that the government in this country is not going to change by vote alone. Pubs, Rats, or a third party will all become the same elitists, screwing the rest of us for their own benefit.
...sorta sums up your name.
As am I. And if I go, I will bring all my family with me. That's a sure 10 right there. During '04 it was 7, we've grown. :-)
