[South Texas: Mexican]Human Rights Group Watching Minutemen
KRGV-5 ^ | April 10, 2007

People reporting group handcuffed them

REYNOSA - A human rights group in Mexico is taking a stand against the Minutemen.

Fortino Lopez Balcazar says, "They're dangerous and their entire group is dangerous for people who want to cross illegally."

Balcazar is the president of Reynosa's human rights organization. He tells us he doesn't advise people to cross illegally, but he does tell them how to do it safely if they're going to do it.

The organization says it's out to warn people what they're up against when they cross the border.

Balcazar says people who cross and have been deported are saying negative things about the Minutemen.

He tells us, "When they intercept them on the other side, they handcuff them, tie them up, holding them for the Border Patrol."

"What gives them the right to believe they're in a position of authority?" he asks. "That's what the Border Patrol is for."

Balcazar is out on the river a few times a week, looking for anything out of the ordinary. He tells us he's looking for the Minutemen.

He laughs and adds sometimes he spots people looking at him through their binoculars on the other side of the river.

We asked the Minutemen organization here in South Texas about its policies. They tell us no one is allowed to speak, gesture, or touch illegals. They say their job is to observe the activity and report it to Border Patrol.

But Balcazar says he'll be watching.

"If we see something going wrong, we're here. And we're going to report it to the authorities," he tells us.

They should not be called human rights groups. They are for criminals.

Do these people have any idea just how stupid they sound?

NO, they don't. They really are that stupid. Stupid enough to be controlled by communist agenda org's that promote criminal illegal aliens has having "rights" when caught violating border laws.

They will NEVER be Americans, no matter what amnesty is shoved onto the real Citizens of this nation and if they get amnesty they will forever be viewed as AB's or AC's.

Since the government will not enforce the laws and our politicians want to surrender to whoever invades this country, we need groups such as the Minutemen.

I hope some day what happened to Mike Nifong will happen to Johnny Sutton. Johnny Sutton was more blatant but he was clever enough to pick on those who could not afford to fight back like the wealthy families of the Duke lacrosse players.

Not one scintilla of evidence. NONE.

If you go to the ATZLAN web page and read the way they twist the news about illegals shooting each other as a story about United States citizens or law enforcement doing it, you will never believe any of this type of stuff again without proof.
