Yup, the Internet version of Orwell's Two Minutes' Hate.
What is truly amazing is that the very people who claim to despise Mexico are now quoting heavily from a Mexican web site and taking it as absolute fact.
Show me one case of anyone saying they despise Mexico.
Oh, please; it's on every immigration thread for all the world to see; anybody denying it is throwing in a strawman.
Well as far as I am concerned the Border Patrol's refutation was pretty weak. Calling the report "inaccurate" is not the same at least in my mind as labeling completely false, which is what they should do if it is in fact a fabrication. Futhermore, when I read:
"Kristi Clemens, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection, would not elaborate on the agency's statement other than to say the U.S. gives information to Mexican officials under the rules of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations of 1963, which provides foreign nationals being detained by a government the right to consular access. "
If the minuteman claim that exact information regarding the number of volunteers and a base of operations was provided to no one outside of law enforcement, and that information appears on a Mexican Government run website, then it's hardly a stretch to believe that some agency provided said information.
It still sounds to me like, in fact, information is being shared if not by the Border Patrol then by another agency.
Today they'll be saying "Look at how long-winded they are, why not just a flat denial, no ifs, ands or buts?"
The Minutemen are on TV almost every night...they are in the desert Southwest...and they aren't hiding...
So, why is it any surprise to anyone that the Mexican Government would know where they are??
The US Govt doesn't have to tell them...and they don't.
Yes, another agency is spying on the Minutemen, giving hourly reports to Mexican Illegal Command Central who can then give the coyotes real-time direction.
Oddly enough, even though the Minutemen are on the lookout, they've never spotted these mysterious agents.
If you want to believe something badly enough, you'll figure out a way to do it.
we should cede all the border land of california, arizona, texas, and new mexico to iraq and within two weeks bush would send at least 50,000 troops there.
bttt
A Mexican government Web site FROM A YEAR AGO!
Do you despise the Mexican government?
That's funny, because I live in California a state flooded with illegal immigrants, read Freerepublic, a site obsessed with illegal immigration, and the Daily Bulletin is my local paper, and I still haven't a clue exactly whose property the Minutemen are oprerating on, where, and how many members are are involved. It seems like they take some pains for whatever reason to keep those details to themselves.
I despise the Mexican government. I suppose that could mean that I despise Mexico. It's like China. I hate their government but not their people.
your funny
I don't CARE about the Mexican government, but I sure as hell wouldn't EVER quote one word they said as fact.
I have read reports and heard interviews about the ACLU shadowing the Minutemen watching for "civil rights violations". I'll do some checking and post links I find. This whole thing reeks of set-up.
That is just the way FR works and why most people are here, to discuss things.
And I guess Mr. Ramirez doesn't know of something called binoculars, that or Mr. Ramirez and the minutemen thought the cloaking device they bought from the Romulans actually workd.
