"Last year an internal memo notified all agents not to give credit to Minuteman volunteers or others who call in sightings of illegal aliens," said an agent who spoke to the Daily Bulletin on condition he not be identified. "We were told to list it as a citizen call and leave it at that. Many times, we were told not to go out to Minuteman calls."

I'm surprised this story hasn't been posted yet.

This is either false or insane.
If true, it is time to broom the government off the stage.
Unelect all who support this insanity.

[Indy Pendance]

Oh goody! Another Bush bashing thread!

[elkfersupper]

Classic government employee turf war mentality and tactics.

I guess the Border Patrol doesn't like it that the Minutemen do a better job than they do, and for free.

[George from New England]

Is this about UNION ?

Are border patrol agents UNIONIZED ?

Everytime I see volunteers doing work that in any way takes away from union labor, the union mindset blocks and ambushes the good-will effort.

Look at parents volunteering in schools. Most unions put a complete stop to that too.

It's going to be tense when that little section of wall starts going up. The government hates competition.

LOL! Another "anonymous" source.

Well at least I can say I'm consistent about "anaonymous" sources, whether world nut daily or washington compost does it.

U.S. tipping Mexico to Minuteman patrols (telling the Mexican government)

1,000 plus posts and still chugging along ..

"U.S. alerting Mexico to Minuteman patrols"

Of course they are. Those "vigilantes" are successful, and success in this area is intolerable to those with "North American Community" agendas.

[Dane]

"Now we know why it seemed like Mexican officials knew where we were all the time," Chris Simcox, founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, told the Ontario paper

All they need is a cheap set of binoculars Mr. Simcox to see where the people sitting in lawn chairs are.

What is Mr. simcox all mad about? Do the minutemen have a secret Romulan cloaking device that Vincente Fox now knows about?

[RightWinger]

This doesn't surprise me.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

The World Net Daily is hardly a reliable source of news.

Whoaaaaaaaa wait a minute. Illegal immigrants have no rights under the US Constitution other than what is granted to other criminals, which includes a guarantee of imprisonment, and a return trip south after prison time has been served.

[sailor4321]

Shouldn't the U.S. be alerting the Minutement as where the Mexicans are?

[ethics]

Call, write or email your senators and congressman on a daily basis to express your outrage with regard to these activities!!!!!!

[sgtbono2002]

I feel a lot aboput the minutemen like I do about the Swift Boat Vets. brave men trying to help America and getting Shat upon.

[arthurus]

Uncle Sam wants to make sure the wetbacks know when it is a good time to cross.

[joesnuffy]

Perhaps the 'Chertov arm' of the BP who is betraying 'Big Border Patrol's' mission is also tipping the Mexican invader government to Border Patrol operations and timetables as well as minutemen locations..

Some might call this treason...with the exception of traitors of course...

imo

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

In declining states the leadership intuitively takes the most harmful course of action. The only question in my mind; are the American people ever going to stand up to the nonsense the so called leadership dishes out?

[longtermmemmory]

Stuck on stupid.

This is a collosal PR blunder.

Blunder of the highest magnatude.

INCREDIBLE BLUNDER.
