#1 Incredible. If they Border Patrol is going to work for the Mexicans, they can be paid by them. Disband them and bring back the US Army border forts and treat border jumpers as invaders.

#2 Someone's going to be on the hot seat when a mexican ~~army~~ militant group invades the US and kills some miniutemen. I think this will piss a *lot* of people off no matter how Bush protrays it.

Ever hear of the 'shot heard round the world'?

#3 Two points:

1- The Minutemen have NEVER used violence against illegal immigrants. Calling the Border patrol or detaining an illegal until the Border Patrol arrives is not violence. It is patriotism. President Bush knows this, even though he calls them 'vigilantes'. So does Mr. Martinez. The government is being disingenuous.

2- Our government seems not only to be doing very little to stop illegal immigration, but is actually protecting and encouraging it. Shame!

#5 If the Minutemen get a little bored, might I suggest taking a pickup truck full of cholla (jumping cactus) balls down there, spreading them around and watering them? That would densely cover an area about the size of a football field with cholla, one of the meanest, nastiest and most useless cacti out there.

#8 "...meant to assure the Mexican government that migrants' rights are being observed."

Sorry to sound obtuse but...what are "migrant rights"? Honestly, do illegal foreign nationals technically have "civil" rights in another country? If they're talking about some form of internationally recognized "human" rights then they should just come out and say it instead of making up some phoney term.

#9 "Invader's rights" is the more appropriate term.

#10 Malkin is reporting that the BP officials are also informing the Mexican government about the activities of the Minutemen in non-border states, i.e, Illinois, passing updates on whether they have any political contacts, their recruiting efforts, etc.

So essentially, we have a US government agency spying on law abiding American citizens who are petitioning their government for redress of greivances within our own heartland, and passing this information unlawfully to a foreign government. We do still have a Constitition, right? Throw the BP bastards in jail.

It only applies to non-citizens and felons.

#12 Persident Bush wonders why his ratings are low?

because he id finally losing conservatives and Republicans over:

1) The Border (not doign a f-ing thing!)
2) The Pork (not vetoing a long time ago)
3) The Judges (not pushing hard to get them trhough)

#13 4) Not prosecuting the war vigorously, expending large resources for small gain.

#14 This is just another thing to jerk my chain. These people come here and take my job. Literally take my job. My government aids them. If you don't believe they take my job the guy at the local Job search place told me today to look into "kitchen help" ie Dish washing and Janitorial work since apperently it's all they think I am qualified to do.

So Border Patrol up yours you are all useless helping a foreign power directly aid it's citizens come illegally to my counrty and take an oprtunity at a job from a US citizen. Your "fine" efforts really warm my heart. Rot in hell every last one of you Border Patrol employees, rot in hell.
