Minuteman Project does the President's JOB

I find these racist, vigilantes to be utterly repulsive (ever notice how the words repulsive and republican share much in common?). What these goons are doing is not only unconstitutional, but is also utterly immoral: abjectly immoral! It reminds one of one of the abjectly wicked devices - the patrol- used by whites to enforce the Black Codes during this Country's slavery period. The patrols were set up to maintain the continuation of slavery. In slave States, counties were divided into "beats" or areas of patrol, and free white men were called upon to serve for a stated period of time, one, three, or six months. These patrols were to apprehend "Negroes" for return to their masters. The patrol system gave white trash power, and money. As to the present, beware of Congress enacting laws which would in any way compensate these racist, vigilantes for their unlawful and immoral conduct.

Scary that people like this are allowed to continue breathing our air.

This post only goes to show your "ignorance" of what these people are trying/going to do. Lets start with they will NOT be apprehending ANYONE! When an illegal is spotted, the "US Border Patrol" will be called in to apprehend them. Are they carrying fire arms? Yes! Why? Self protection. Some of those illegals are not traveling alone (ever hear of coyotes?). And how are they considered racist? Because they won't allow someone access to something they aren't entitled to? Patriots? Most assuredly! Vigilantes? Quite possibly. Racist? NO F.ing WAY! And in NO WAY is what they are doing illegal! Unless you have proof of that, change your stinking tune!

And Col this time I agree with over half of what you said. I just thought you should know that.

I'm sure that these people are very law abiding people, who will not hit, touch or go near a person crossing the borders. all they will do is look and kindly pass them water, chocolate bars and wish the immigrants the best.

Vigilante justice is back in. This people have no federal training, have no legal right to do this, but nonetheless they are attempting to do what the government has a whole agency for. We've no need for these people to go around and their need to feel empowered. Thsi is just another attempt by a minority group of americans to impose their will upon others.

Moment by moment, the powers that be hoodwink the masses. Wake-up! Wipe the sand man out of your sealed eyes. Why do you object to people- human beings- crossing a "border"? (From Heaven does your God see borders? does he recognize borders?) They cross to improve the quality of their life. What's wrong with that? Why should barriers be erected when the Republican Bible teaches brotherhood?

Or is it that whereas most people spell the word "Justice" as one word, you spell same in two words? That is, "JUST US" good ole' boys down here below the Mason-Dixon Line. BTW, wasn't that part of the country stolen from Mexico in the first place? I believe what is happening now is a form of Montezuma's revenge. I say open the gates. The more illegal the merrier democrats, and them more miserable republicans will be. Sounds exquisite.

Any country has the right to control its borders. Why should we make sure who is comming into America? Answer 9/11! It is sad the Federal Government is not doing their job then this group would not be needed!

Why do you object to people- human beings- crossing a "border"? (

Because they refuse to do it legally!!!

No they have no federal training. But I dare you to "show" me what they plan on doing is illegal! As long as they stick to the original plan (look, don't touch, call border patrol agent for apprehension) they are "perfectly" legal. Now the first time they *touch* one of the illegal aliens except for *provable* self-defence they they can and *should* be prosecuted! And since this is happening along our southern borders....all the states down that way are "right to carry" states. So "legally" they can be armed (pistol OR rifle)!

"Because they refuse to do it legally!!!"

What rubbish! That's hogwash and you damn well know it. Slavery was legal, but it was inarguably immoral. More often than not, morality and legality are not one and the same. Is not this the truth by which pro-life activists justify breaking laws that either permit or in an way facilitate abortion? You have to do much better than simply saying because it’s illegal to justify imprisoning millions of human beings behind a border. America has made Mexico into one big ghetto, much the same way the nazis turned Warsaw into a ghetto of death for tens of thousands of Jews. Now get down to the border and break out as many bottles of water needed to assist any illegal that you see crossing; Jesus Christ would, why wouldn’t you? You know, it gets dam hot in them parts, and its only itching too get hotter. Go on get going!

Sorry, but as usual, COL Gene has put forth a subject line and premise that are entirely wrong.

I don't recall a damn place in the constitution or otherwise that indicates that the President is a border agent.

The President of the United States is the President. He's not a border guard, is not directly in charge of the Immigration department, etc.

The COL can rant all he wants (as usual), but (as usual) the COL is as wrong as a 3 dollar bill.

Nice try COL. If you want to complain about Immigation, go for it, but TONE DOWN THE BUSH BASHING HEADLINES as it shows you for the one trick phoney poney you are.


Oh, lest I forget, I recall articles in the news this last week indicating that 500 agents will be hitting the borders very soon, in time in fact to be there when the Minutemen will be. Where's your commentary about that!?? I'd ask where you intend to get the money from to pay for 10,000 more border guards and agents, but I think we already know that you are leading the charge to raise taxes to pay for everything else, never mind the conflict with your also stated desire to balance the budget and eliminate deficit spending. Just more demands for more taxes to spend on more programs, all to be gotten from anyone not named COL Gene.

No, what YOUR spouting is rubbish! We have LAWS in this country. And if your NOT willing to obey them then stay the hell out! I have absolutely NO problem for those that want to enter the country legally! But I take exception with those that don't care enough or give a sh** to go about it in the correct fashion! Grow a brain little girl.

And BTW slavery has absolutely NOTHING to do with illegal aliens! Neither morally OR legally! America made Mexico a ghetto? You better do some research before you run your mouth. Corrupt law enforcement and government officals made it a ghetto. Have you ever "been" to Mexico? I have. Probably more times than you have hairs on your head.

"Have you ever "been" to Mexico? I have. Probably more times than you have hairs on your head."

Yes, I have been to Mexico on numerous occasions; as a matter of fact, I first entered your redneck Country by crossing the border. Since bribing my way into American citizenship, however, I now only cross (lawfully, I might add) at designated spots. N.G.. Arizonian is a good border town through which I have gone many times, for a variety of reasons. One reason was to secure Rogaine at a considerably reduce price for my balding illegal brothers who cannot lawfully cross in order to restock. Many a hair follicle has been lost by this inhuman treatment of the legally challenged. Stop the discrimination now, and send donations in lieu of flowers.

The most basic responsibility of the President is to insure the safety of the U S . Without that we have NOTHING. It is not possible to insure the safety of the U S without controllong who comes into our country. The border guards fall under Homeland Defense which reports directly to the President. Thus terphan 1980, you are WRONG AGAIN! It is the direct responsibility of Bush .Over 80% of Americans want Bush to safeguard our borders in poll after poll. You should look at Lou Dobbs each night to get some idea how important this issue is with Americans!

repeat after me gene..... Bush good, liberals eat do-do, Bush good Liberals stupid, Bush good, liberals moronic, chant this 3 times on arising in the morning and soon you will be a much better person.

Show me again where in the constitution it shows that Bush is director of Homeland Security? Immigration? State?

He delegates, normally to incompetent pencil pushers like you've proven yourself to be.

You can blame him for under funding too if you want, but CONGRESS allocates spending, not the President.

Continue showing what a moron you are. It looks good on you.

Key phrase here: "past Presidents". This is a problem, some would say UNSOLVABLE problem that goes back way, way beyond the Bush administration. We have had an illegal immigrant problem under every presidency since we considered it a problem.

Does the Col. address that? No. Does he distribute the blame with those DEMOCRATIC Presidents that did nothing when this migrant culture was just beginning? No. Does the Col. offer any solutions other than the usual Democrat band-aid of throwing billions of dollars at the problem and praying it works? No.

Worse, does the Col. stoop to the "terrorism card", and use unsubstantiated fear to provoke political angst? Yes. Is that something that those of his political stance have lambasted the Bush administration over and over and over for doing? Yes. Does the Col. have a shred of evidence that a perfectly sealed Mexican border would have ever prevented a single terrorist attack? No.

You can put a border guard every 100 yards, pay them 50k a year, and put a MINE FIELD between them and Mexicans will STILL get into this country. You can spend literally billions shuffling the ones you catch through the justice system and sending them back and they'd get off the bus and start planning their next trip here.

If jail and fear of death would prevent illegal immigration, we wouldn't have thousands of Cubans and Haitians trying to make it here on innertubes and inflatable kiddie pools.

****

I'm gonna start a pool on whether, if the Democrats win next time, the Col:

A) writes another book and shifts to slamming that president.

or

quietly waits for another Republican to be elected and nods a lot in the meantime.

Home Land Security is part of the Execuative Branch (remember the three Branches from grade school) and guess who is head of the Execuative Branch Yes - George W.

OMB prepares the budget for Congress and Guess who OMB reports to? Yes - George W. Remenber Truman "The Buck Stops Here" Bush and you Bushies have placed that sign on another desk. I wonder which one?

I'm gonna start a pool on whether, if the Democrats win next time, the Col:

I will take a buck on the republican and give 7 to 1 odds.

No matter who wins in 2008, they will have to deal with the financial mess created by George W. Bush!

Congratulations, COL Gene, you actually managed to write something I would agree with if you didn't include the obligatory attack on Bush. We do need a strong border. As far as being racist if you don't want illegal immigrants in your country, that is nonsense. Are we racist against murderers because we don't tolerate them doing something illegal? Of course not. I care not whether or not they come here, but I DO care whether or not they do it legally.

I agree it has NOTHING to do with being racist. That is used by those who want anyone to be allowed into the U S. As far as Bush is concerned, he is the person who is not enforcing our laws. He is not requesting the funding for the new positions he himself claims are needed. He is the one that wants to solve the illegal problem by just making them legal. The vast majority ,80 puls %, do not agree with Bush on his border policy and want our border protected. Why is Bush not protecting our borders? Please give me an answer that makes sense.

"I agree it has NOTHING to do with being racist."

Bull-Shit! Who's folling whom? If the so-called "illegal" aliens crossing the border were Nordic blondes with blue eyes, there wouldn't be a prohibition against entry in the first instance. It's racism notwithstanding the use of any song and dance about lawful entry to justify rounding up these heroic journeymen.

BTW, your precious cracker Pilgrims did not lawfully enter the land they subsequently swindled from the Native Americans. Redneck crackers, such as Austin, Col. Gene, and W, made Mexico into one enormous shanty-town, so as to exploit and extract the Mexican workers' labor value; without this cracker economy could not survive.

Tarantula-X

I don't give a rats ass what color they are, all must obey the law. Terrorist can be any color or race, We need to control our borders to all foreigners and it has nothing to do with white, black ,brown, yellow or what ever. You're just full of BS trying to to stop something that must be done and that the vast majority of Americans want to have done. Since America is a democracy, you are overruled!

"You're just full of BS"

If you must know my scatological state, I am full of pig shit.

"the vast majority of Americans want to have done. Since America is a democracy, you are overruled!"

If it is true that I am overruled, well so were the freedom fighters who made up the underground railroad; so were the few good Germans who opposed Nazism; so were the Christians who the Romans feed to the Lions; and so on....

obeying the laws of this country are basic to our system. We are a country of laws and the people who were coming across the borders in violation of the law need to be stopped.
