"Carlos Hernandez is from Mexico City and says he's been deported once. "I'll look for a strategic point to cross the river, I'm hoping to be able to make it"

Carlos, "I'm really feeling good tonight" "I've been training for this event for about 6 months now" "Running 5 to 10 miles everyday" "Lifting some weights" "Eating a lot of high carb tortillas" "I think I'm gonna do well"

Seems a little odd when the Mexican govt doesn't seem all that interested in protecting their rights in Mexico....
I am tired of the hypocracy but even more tired of anyone who gives them the time of day and believes for one minute that this is anything but a ploy to dump massive numbers of their poor and uneducated so that they can continue to abuse their own people.

The Mexican Government has expressed concern with the Minuteman Project, and asks that state and federal measures be taken to safeguard the rights of Mexicans crossing the border illegally.

That statement is hysterical on its face - but the fact that our government buys into the sentiment is anything but funny. Last time I checked the Minutemen are citizens (and, yes, patriots) and have a right to assemble peacefully anywhere they please. Their new motto should be "Doing the job our government won't do."

They cross because they are ignorant, stupid or both. There is nothing in this country that they can't have in their own country. They are just too lazy to figure out how to get it.

THANK YOU! They want to reap the benefits of our way of life without the sacrifice it took our forefathers to earn it. They need to better their own damn country. There are certainly millions of them here - if they all went home and demanded the things they are demanding here, their country would be better off for it.
