The Minuteman Project mistakes the nature of our immigration problem
It will be fascinating to see how the Minuteman Project, the brainstorm of Aliso Viejo resident James Gilchrist, comes off now that President Bush has referred to the effort as a "vigilante" operation of which he disapproves. It has certainly stirred a lot of interest, pro and con.

This is so funny.
Walmart just got shafted by the feds, because of illegals.
And guess who the "same feds" have working at our airports as
"homeland security agents"...
Shouldn't the feds give themselves the same punishment as Walmart got for doing almost the same thing?
The population of Mexico are very under educated and spineless or they would have done something to correct all the problems in their country already.
My grandmother, who died last year at age 99, told me similiar stories of 1920's Louisiana.
Men who wouldn't work and support their families faced certain retribution from the community.
As there were no federal or state aid for indigents the neighbors knew who didn't have food and why.
And it just keeps gettin' better.
Is Vicente Fox gonna "bail out" Kalli-fornica when it goes totally bankrupt?
Apparently Pres Bush equates "enforcing the law in a rational way" to kissing vicente fox's a$$.
Thanks. I didn't know that was the reason.
His brother has a manufacturing plant in Mexico. I think Jim is keeping a low profile on this so that nothing bad happens to that plant. That's what happens when you dance with the Devil.
JR, is there some reason that this rumor is floating around about you? Is there any real truth to any of this stuff? I don't really have any intention of hanging out in the desert fiddling with the Border Patrol's voicemail--it seems like a colossal waste of time. But notwithstanding the notion that there are better things to do, the general intent of the Minutemen seemed okay to me, even if the Klan or Stormfront wackos agreed with it. I am sure you got a few thousand pings to sort through, but given the rumor seems to be spreading through your site, thought you might want to address it.
Yes. Even the Democratic party has had members who used to be Klan members. Sen Jim Byrd of West Virginia used to be a Klan Kleagle".
"Ex-Klansman Robert Byrd, the senior senator from West Virginia, casually used the phrase "white n*gger" twice on national TV this weekend. Enraged civil rights groups organized a protest campaign against Sen. Byrd and demanded that he undergo sensitivity training ... not.
"The ex-Klansman, you see, is a Democrat. Democrats can join hate groups and utter the ugliest racial slurs and get away with it because they are Democrats."
Great. And in your rosy 'annexation' scenario, those poor uneducated people with no spines would elect socialist representatives who promise them the moon and stars paid for by America's taxpayers, and the costs would absolutely kill the American middle class. And all this would be occuring during a civil war, because there is no damn way that many of us would tolerate any situation at all similar to what you describe.
They are but one state and the socialists could only play with their own state.
As that state sees other successful states, they people would fire the bad guys and get normal ones to achieve what others have done for themselves.
Take off the rose colored glasses.

No modern government (including democracies) are ever comfortable with citizens organizing and arming themselves, no matter what the cause is. Governments fear organized and armed citizens because there is a possibility that they may be tempted to challenge the government. If the Minutemen crosses the line on the law, even a minor infraction, the federal/state LE are instructed to come down hard and cause legal hardships to see if they can discourage recruitment of law abiding citizens. If the Minutemen are well discipline, then the federal/state will infiltrate the organization with provocateurs and start an incident, so the organization will get into more legal problems and become discredited by the MSM. I think right now, the US government is gearing up their covert and legal resources to destroy the Minutemen because they cannot afford an armed paramilitary within the US that may challenge them in the future.
Some of our most powerful adversaries are here on this side of the border. ;-)
I thought I read it in one of JR's posts (or maybe on his profile page). If Jim says no, then I stand corrected.
Right. Good one Hoot.
Why is the President in favor of legal status for illegals? That's one point I've missed over the years and I don't understand it.
You're probably right cactus. I know of one for sure.
That's a good question. I'd like to know too.
