Where do they stand

The non-combatant types. Where do they stand on this illegal alien status & Mexicos complaints about American citizens protecting Americas borders.

NPR has a typical liberal opinion

· Scores of self-appointed citizen border watchers converge on southern Arizona for the start of a controversial month-long patrol for illegal immigrants. The so-called Minutemen say they're not looking for trouble, but are just fed-up with lax enforcement by the U.S. Border Patrol.

The Guardian cares about the illegals

Hundreds of anti-immigrant activists were gathering in Tombstone, Arizona, yesterday to begin a month-long unofficial patrol of the border with Mexico. To greet them, hundreds of immigrants' rights activists planned to travel to the desert of Arizona from across the southern US.

And caught in the middle, are the thousands of undocumented immigrants who try to cross the border from Mexico each day, and the hundreds of US government border patrol agents who try to stop them.

I don't recall the Guardian feeding these people. Do they really care? Neither has the BBC

US 'vigilantes' in border patrol

Those who live there seem to appreciate it though.

TOMBSTONE. - At least 100 people had registered by Friday afternoon for a monthlong civilian volunteer operation to patrol the border for illegal immigrants and smugglers and report them to federal authorities, a lead organizer said.

You'd think an LA editorial writer might understand.

Except for the fact that the posse is headed in the wrong direction, you can't really blame the cowboys riding to the border near Tombstone, Ariz., to git them durned e-leegles.

Los Angeles will have subways to the beach before the United States gets its goofy immigration policy straightened out, so I can understand the frustration of the group that calls itself the Minuteman Project.

The ringleaders, who include a retired Orange County accountant, were expecting several hundred volunteers to saddle up — some of them armed — and seal the Arizona-Mexico border today. If you happen to be in the area, give wide berth to anyone who looks like a cast member from "F-Troop," and do not wear a straw hat or carry a jug of water, because you could be shot dead.

Did I really say "you'd think an LA editorial writer might understand"???

It seems Googles news section is chalk-full of opinions. Most of them haven't had to aviod illegals crossing busy freeways or find their ranch pilfered of livestock. Many haven't walked into American stores only to witness Mexican mothers having their kids try on underwear & put them back, unpackaged & soiled, when they decide against them. They've yet to be forced to learn a second language, in their own country.

If the MinuteMen aren't supported, Americans soon will become familiar to the above.

If the MinuteMen aren't supported, they soon will be.

No Gonz
No they won't.

Poorly worded. Better now?

Somewhat...

I'll be shocked shitless if them Minuteman doods
aren't all hauled off to jail.

The powers that be can not let this type of thing
keep on.

I remember getting everyone I could to go down and sign
the petition to get Prop 200 on the ballot.

We know how that turned out.

I've watched this unfold before my eyes over the last 30 years.
A blind guy can see what the end result will be.
