I guess the Border Patrol must be a bunch of "vigilantes" as well, according to Bush.

Yes, the White House got some angry words on this obvious pandering to Vincete Fox...and the BP should be supporting the "bad vigilates" because they are doing the government's dirty work for them...a really tragic, sick situation from my viewpoint. Your Washington elites in action for the American people...

Reports of them causing "ground sensors" to go off are exaggerated because most of those are being set off by the ACLU sneaking around trying to find the Minutemen doing something wrong.

These ACLU folks should leave the police work to professional law enforcement.

There are some great pictures at Michelle Malkin's Immigration Blog of the ACLU smoking a couple joints. The last thing the Border Patrol needs is a bunch of doped-up legal advisers making their job more dangerous.

I just added a report from this weekend to another post (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1385236/posts?q=1&&page=221#221) but this might be a more appropiate post for the report.

---

My wife and I were on the border this last weekend. We attended the rally and helped man the Naco line. Great experience.

Jim Gilchrist was most impressive at the rally answering reporters and others questions and posing for pictures for all comers. We then we marched along in front of the Border Patrol station chanting, "More Border Patrol".

Along the Naco Line the minutemen were mostly on the high ground scanning the south side of the border. Comm was well organized: a call the Border Patrol brought action right away. I didn't see any of "them" getting across although some did approach the 4-strand barbed wire fence that serves as the border along that stretch.

The ACLU (refered to as "yellow-bellies" for the yellow shirts they wore) were inter spaced along the line although they didn't seem to be doing much except playing frisbee all weekend. I had a camera at the ready in case that frisbee catch a good south gust of wind but luck they remained Americans, so-to-speak.

Looking across the border you could see trails worn smooth from the endless footfalls of the millions who have crossed, along the way rags were tied to bushes and trees lead the way along trails to the holes cut into the barbed wire fences. We eyeballed the trains that passed occasionally on a well used track and trucks on a road in the distance as well as the the many dirt road crisscrossing the Mexican desert.

Side note: We also drove along the border near the town of Naco where the Army Engineers were erecting a tall solid metal fence. We applause them for their service but not the government that supplied the materials they had to work with. The fence was a mishmash of materials, mostly portable runway panels reminiscence of WWII fame. All material used and worn. Every few yards a new material salved from some government scrap yard or other.
