No, that's a product of your natural grace & talent, with a bit of training.

Do you still wear a pink tutu?

Hatred? Doubtful, particularly since they are providing food/water/first aid to those in need. They quite possibly hold more contempt for our own government, due obvious apathy about the problem, then they do for the immigrants they're helping apprehend.

From everything I have read about what the group is doing, or from what I have heard them talk about on the radio, I think that their public mission statement is that they are motivated by being fed up with illegal immegration and the problems it causes in the states that are directly affected by it.

Whether the members have private motivations, I do not know. I'm certainly going to keep an eye out for any stronger or more fleshed out actual reporting on if the group actually has any interaction with groups like the arayan nation, which I would not at all personally approve of.

As of now, it seems that the group is doing exactly what it said it would do. It is patrolling the border, reporting illegal crossings to border patrol or LEO, and calling attention to the fact that our southern border (for whatever reasons) is a sieve, and that the federal government has so far had little interest in doing anything about it.

Like I said in my other post - you have people yik yakking all over the place about who is a racist and who isn't regarding illegal border crossings (and what to do about them) and yet the Federal government has just made it tougher on American citizens to re-enter their own country. They hypocracy is simply over the top yet nobody is speaking to that.

Beyond that, with the potential re-upping of the Patriot Act, they are intent on shoving more of the same Orwellian crap down everyones' throats regardng privacy in reading material, home and thought.

I think this argument/discussion you all have going on here is frankly, quite sad. Pay attention to the real fawking issues if you all want to argue.

Edit: Guess on Sergey gets to use the F word.

LMAO. As soon as I figure out how to ****, I'll give it a try. Is "**** off" what you do after "**** on", or can you just "**** off" whenever you please?


Robert, I'm with ya, and I agree about the hypocrasy. I think these folks are doing something about it, they're getting mucy more publicity than ever before, and they're actually having an affect on illegal immigration on the length of border they're covering. Imagine the sh!t storm there'd be if volunteers could help cover the entire stretch of US/Mexico border..

Personally, I think the federal government doesn't mind its people getting in these sorts of arguments as it serves as a wonderful means of mis-direction.

"Come up with a boogyman (illegal border jumpers) and then sick him on the people. Meanwhile, go quietly about your business of stripping away your citizens' civil rights."

I think you're going to have a hard time convincing people about the evils of the patriot act at this point of time. Most people can't see the forrest for the trees, and I think that is especially true of the PA.

Has your life been personally affected by the PA yet?

I think you'd have an easier time getting the TSA and the shoe screening removed at airports than having anything done about the PA.

I'll flip your answer around on you Shalom - is your daily life affected by illegal immigration?

Doesn't seem like a reasonable question then does it? All the same arguments come into play. Personally, I think Americans no longer care about their liberties because they are to wrapped up in trying not to lose what they have. That is exactly what the federal government is using to exploit both sides of the situation.

I found this amusing little quote attached to someones' email signature.

The Minutemen guarding the border are NOT vigilantes.
They are "UNDOCUMENTED BORDER AGENT'S.

They are idiots and they do not belong on any border, just wait it will only be a matter of time before some poor legal gets shot from I of these idiots, or even an illegal for just trying to provide a better life for his or her family.

Do you know who built that wall, and why? I gather not, based on your comment. To make your suggestion analogous to this discussion, Vincente Fox would have to be the one to build the wall. He's far to enamoured by the U.S. dollar that flows back into his country courtesy of illegals and drug trafficking to ever perform such a preposterous act.

I take it you're an "Open borders" fan?

Would you be opposed to a wall dividing the U.S. and mexico? If so, why? Afterall, it would serve only to enforce laws that already exist.

How many countries can you name that are as easy to enter and leave as the U.S.?

I found that amusing too. Bottom line is that's exactly what they are. They have no authority to arrest or detain. All they're doing is tracking and reporting illegals.

So in other words, if you were in charge, you would place limits on folks ability to congregate peacefully? Maybe you would spy on your citizens as standard operating proceedure in order to prevent such congregation? Maybe you think that behaviors you find detestible should be outlawed?

There is a term for that Don - its called fascism.

Just to stir the pot a bit more since Don didn't respond to my "fascist" comment I found this in an article about the whole overblown mess today:

Mexico's foreign relations department also pledged in the days leading up to the civilian operation to pursue all legal and diplomatic means to stop the volunteers and ensure that they do not violate the rights of Mexican citizens.

Excuse me but how do they think they can stop american citizens from legally assembling in their own country? What rights do they think mexican citizens have over here if they are over here illegally?

Damn skippy it has.

Been on a commercial airplane in the last couple of years? I have. It's humiliating.

The bank I work for spent $10MM -- that's TEN MILLION DOLLARS -- on software REQUIRED by the Patriot act. I sure could've used a raise, instead. Or at least better equipment & software that is actually PRODUCTIVE.

Have you opened a bank account lately? You've been affected.

Shall I continue?
