Grijalva invites Ashcroft to see vigilante 'justice'
ARIZONA DAILY STAR; Tuesday, January 14, 2003
U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva stepped up his campaign to crack down on vigilantes Monday by inviting Attorney General John Ashcroft to come to Southern Arizona to see the threat they pose to border security.
The Tucson Democrat told Ashcroft in a letter that the federal government's silence on the issue is "seen as giving official sanction to this racist movement, both by the perpetrators and victims of vigilante 'justice.' "
Ashcroft's voice, Grijalva added, "is needed now to make clear that private armed groups claiming law enforcement powers have no role in patrolling our border with Mexico."
Last week, shortly after he was sworn in, Grijalva called for a federal inquiry into the vigilante groups that have formed in response to the thousands of illegal immigrants who make their way across Arizona's border every year.

Um, if you won't call out the National Guard to resist invasion, what do you expect people to do? Stand around and cheer on the rushing hordes?

The destruction of the clarity of the English language that Clinton started continues apace with this bunch...

There's only one racist here. It's the one that thinks people of a certain ethnicity should be exempt from the immigration laws that everyone else in the world has to obey. This man is a traitor to our nation. The fact that traitors like this are elected to nationwide office makes me think the reconquista has already been successful.

Your proof that it isn't??????How about you prove your point, as you are demanding that he prove a negative. It shouldn't be hard to find racist screeds on American Patrol. Go ahead, do it.
Hint - I spent a couple of nights doing just that. Didn't find anything. But if you want to repeat that exercise, please feel free. But from the nature of your posts so far I doubt you have the integrity to come back with an honest answer.

"We the people" empowered the goverment, and it is "We the people" who retained specific individual rights to handle government neglect situations.

So what if a few Pedros who are American citizens get killed? American citizens of Mexican heritage (such as my wife) do not need to be crossing over the border on tractless desert, traversing private property. They can just present their ID at the border like any other American. So your argument there is absurd, as is your bigotry of calling them Pedros...
