#5  Met up with a Border Patrol agent recently. His sector in AZ is one of the busiest for illegal crossings. He said as soon as the Minutemen set up in the area, crossings dropped to a trickle. The Border guys could clearly see the Federales operating on the other side working to divert traffic.

The Mexican authorities have plenty of control when they choose to exercise it.

#3  The growth of the Minuteman patrols has stirred stiff opposition among Latino activists and many residents in towns and cities along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The California-based Brown Berets, a Mexican-American group that was allied with the revolutionary U.S. Black Panther Party in the 1960s, has vowed to confront the Minuteman volunteers during their October vigil.


Obvious

#2  Someday, not too distant, a call will go out for volunteers for a more assertive form of grass-roots American action. Rather more like the original Minutemen.

This geezer and wheezer will be with right with you there...I can still put a pretty good bluff in.

#1  The Minutemen are truly remarkable. A bona-fide demonstration of regular grass-roots Americans doing what needs to be done - while the "authorities" are either paralyzed or working against them.

Someday, not too distant, a call will go out for volunteers for a more assertive form of grass-roots American action. Rather more like the original Minutemen.
