SNITCHING & SPYING FOR MEXICO (Must read for all Minutemen supporters)
Michelle Malkin ^ | May 09, 2006 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 05/09/2006 1:00:10 PM PDT by Rick_Michael

I'll keep updating my first post on this subject with reader feedback. Meantime, the Minutemen Blog has details not reported by the Daily Bulletin:

Sara Carter, a reporter with the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, reports today that she found documentation on Mexican government websites that show higher ups in the United States Border Patrol have been tipping off the corrupt Mexican government as to the locations of the Minutemen along the border.

This article does not report information told to the MCDC media offices that the Border Patrol chiefs have also been passing along intelligence reports to the government of Mexico on the activities of Minutemen not only at the borders, but in locations such as Utah, Nevada, Illinois, Massachusetts and Tennessee. Perhaps a follow-up story is coming tomorrow or an over zealous editor took the info out?

Part of a report distributed last August to the Mexican government from Border Patrol bureaucrats read over the phone to the MCDC media offices contained not only numbers (estimated chapter membership) of Minutemen in Illinois, but a statement on their activities and that they didn't seem to know any politicians there, indicating that the Illinois Minutemen didn't yet have any political clout.

That is not a report on the location of Minutemen at the border, but political intelligence from our government to a foreign nation about the activities of American citizens petitioning our own government for redress of grievances.

The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps media offices will contact the reporter to inquire about copies of the documents and the timing on a follow-up story with the reports to the Mexican government of activities of Minutemen in INTERIOR states, as if reports of our locations in the border states weren't bad enough.

If the ACLU weren't so busy demonizing the Minutemen, you would think they might be on the side of law-abiding Americans being surveilled by their government. Where are the privocrats now?

Considering what's in this article, are we sure we want this administration to have the ability to anonymously wiretap American citizens without a warrant?

Well - he will certainly be talking about it in the passionate, red-blooded, manner American Men once employed when verbalizing their response to such obscenities on the part of their public servants.

Back in the Good Old Days, that is, when there were American Men.

And were American public servants.

BUMPping

I like what a General suggested in conference...allow wiretappings, but audit the process to make sure there's no obvious misuse. If there is, hold people responsible. Sounds fairly reasonable to me.

This sounds rather sticky.

Make sure you are not talking about "treason" or "impeachment" guys.

Agreed . It's just business. Speaking of which , if this info is correct , the drug smugglers will enjoy an uninterrupted windfall. If this info is shared , why stop at the minuteman locations ?

If so, what would be implications of that?

Well, in the DC Metro area it might mean that Casa Maryland, a radical pro-illegal group, which receives funds from the state gov.was supplied intel and encouragement from the Mexican gov. when they threatened to follow Minutemen, their families and follow their children to school

Personally I can't think of any other reason the Mexican govt would want this kind of info.

What is your question? Is Casa de Maryland receiving State funds?

or

Did Casa de Maryland state in public that they were going to follow American citizens and their families?

Is the Washington Times a good enough start?

Counties defend CASA pickets

By Keyonna Summers

THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Published April 17, 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Officials with Montgomery and Prince George's counties say the taxpayer-funded CASA of Maryland advocacy group has a constitutional right to picket outside the homes and businesses of members of the Minutemen, a group that photographs employers hiring day laborers and illegal aliens.

"What's good for the Minutemen is good for the laborers," said Prince George's County Councilman Will Campos, a Democrat. "Let's face it -- don't get mad because somebody's doing the same thing you're doing."

CASA officials say that they are just reacting to "provocation" by the Minutemen and that the picketing protests would be like those staged in front of the homes of employers who don't pay laborers.

"It's proven to be an effective way of bringing publicity and ensuring that people pay their wages," said Peter Shiras, who is on CASA's board of directors. "This was not something that was instigated by us [and] I don't think CASA is trying to pick a fight here."

CASA is also training legal observers who would document but not protest the activities of the Minutemen while they monitor the day laborers in Maryland.

Mr. Shiras said there's a "big difference" between the Minutemen, who he says are trying to intimidate CASA employees, and CASA, which is trying to "bring publicity" to the Minutemen's actions.

Spokesmen for Montgomery and Prince George's counties said the actions of CASA employees and volunteers are independent of the county's views. They also say that CASA is an independent contractor and that county funds do not support its monitoring activities.

"They have a contract to perform a certain set of services and that's what they're paid for," said David Weaver, a Montgomery County spokesman. CASA is "not an official county agency. They don't speak for the county government anymore than [other groups] who also receive money from the county."

Montgomery County has spent nearly $1.6 million in fiscal 2006 in contracts with CASA for day-laborer and community centers in Wheaton and Silver Spring, and health and language services for thousands of residents.

Takoma Park pays about $40,000 annually for a temporary day-laborer center. Prince George's County last year pledged $91,000 to the opening of a center in Langley Park.

Baltimore has approved a $75,000 contract to open a permanent center this spring to replace a temporary one monitored by CASA, which formed about 20 years ago to provide assistance to Central American refugees but now offers advocacy, legal, language and health services.

Mr. Weaver declined to comment on the Maryland Minutemen or its president, Stephen Schreiman, who has called for the Justice Department to investigate CASA and has urged financial contributors to stop supporting the organization. The Minutemen have mainly targeted an informal gathering site at a church in Gaithersburg.

Montgomery County law prohibits picketing outside private homes unless a public meeting is being held inside. However, protesters are allowed to picket outside businesses.

Gaithersburg officials recently drafted similar legislation after realizing the county code did not apply to the city. An incident unrelated to the CASA issue prompted the move, officials said.

Barb Matthews, city manager of Takoma Park said, the municipality's role is to prevent violence and other problems "but it's really not the role of the city to say who does what, or whose opinion is wrong or whose is right."

There are tons of blogs that Michele has listed on her blog that post the outrage concerning the fact that our own Govt would be reporting back to a foreign nation against it's citizens.

The illegal aliens have been a threat to this country and now we know in more ways than one. Why are we being sold out for a group of mexican national socialists?

I hate this. I really wish there was a way to know if a candidate was really a constitutionalist, before I vote.

The reality is that half (or sometimes a quarter) of a loaf is better than nothing. Bush has been good on the WOT, tax breaks for the rich (rich being anyone that makes over 15K a year), choosing pro-life constitutionlist judges (yeah he screwed up with Harriet Myers but he corrected it). Next election we need to get a real conservative into the whitehouse. I hope one runs.

I want my votes back. This is dispicable. They won't get my votes ever again. Why don't we have a competent third party?!
