#1 ...You know, I'd like to see some data to back up that claim of 12-25 lives a day lost due to illegal aliens - but even if the low end of that estimate is overblown by 300%, that still means as many Americans are dying from the Mexican Invasion (and let's call it what it is)as are dying every day in Iraq.

#2 As I said before, I'll gladly pull my two, three week stint guarding the border, but the ROE HAS to allow me to shoot at anyone coming across. First round to turn them around. Second round, if that doesn't work, to stop 'em until they can be caught and hauled back where they belong. If they still insist on crossing, third round to stop 'em permanently. If they're armed, we go directly to third round, skipping the rest.

#3 I'm all for a nice mine field too before the rounds start hitting them.

#4 It will be very interesting to see if the federals try an intervene to stop the Minutemen from firing on drug smuggling Mexican army personnel.

And a word of warning: it is just as important for these Minutemen to carry video cameras that will show their enemies. Otherwise, any major incident will be buried under "he said/she said" and intentional obfuscation.

Video being propagated all over the Internet will work even better than gunning down a dozen uniformed Zetas.

#5 The longer this stays in the news, the more Americans know Bush has sold us out.
That's good. It's justice. He better hope the Minutemen don't get shot. Then the whole issue gets filed under failures.

#6 Border security normally falls under the purvue of the US Congress, whose legislations are acted upon/enforced by Federal Agencies. That being said, the Office of POTUS remains the greatest singular representative-symbol of the USGovt + America in general, which is why Dubya will get the MSM blame. FOX > CAVUTO > the Dems FOR THE THIRD TIME IN AS MANY DAYS have gone back on their own self-proclaimed 2006 elex agendas, INCLUDING TODAY TO NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT PROTECTING THE BORDERS = STEMMING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION FLOWS FROM MAHICO.

#7 An attribution for the source: Illegal aliens murder 12 Americans daily
Twelve Americans are murdered every day by illegal aliens, according to statistics released by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa. If those numbers are correct, it translates to 4,380 Americans murdered annually by illegal aliens. Thats 21,900 since Sept. 11, 2001.
...
While King reports 12 Americans are murdered daily by illegal aliens, he says 13 are killed by drunk illegal alien drivers for another annual death toll of 4,745. Thats 23,725 since Sept. 11, 2001.

Where I live, whenever a news report of an attempted school child abduction or exposure, it is an illegal alien. Last year, 2 women were abducted, raped and killed by illegals. This is in one of the lowest crime rate counties in the nation. The price of cheap carpentry and lawn care.

#8 Twelve still seems high, but I'll agree with ya, ed. Seems that, in the matter of the last 5-10 years, the names in the police blotter have almost all gone hispanic. A LOT of Mexican gang activity here in the Atlanta suburbs. So far, a LOT of it's red on red, but it's just a matter of time.

Crossing the border is a "gateway" crime, if you want to call it that. When you see that we don't intend at all to enforce our border, it becomes easier to do other crimes. Now, I'm not saying a lot of the illegals are here to do that (I truly believe most of them are here to better their own lives and/or send money back home), but it's just a matter of time before they form gangs (see how other immigrants groups first got power here way back when), learn how to milk the system and then, feel like they're "owed" something. I pray that cycle doesn't happen, but I fear it will, and may very well take us down quicker (internally) than the jihadis could ever dream of.

Just see the other article linked on page 3 or 4 today about your "average" illegal criminal. Rounded up and arrested 6 times (on average) w/o either deportation or life in prison/death row. Last week's report of California's penal system being 25% illegal immigrants, etc. That's a LOT of our tax $ being spent on "housing" these crooks and wasting our local police force's time on them.
