Caltrans did not elaborate on the review and a spokesman did not respond to a phone call Monday night, but its statement said groups that advocate violence, discrimination or illegal activities cannot participate in the program.

The minutemen have not advocated violence, exhibited discrimination or conducted any illegal activities.

It sure is nice to know Caltrans is so conerned that it couldn't be bothered with the truth.

Now those who front for illegal criminal activity can trump the rights of U.S. Citizens who have done nothing wrong.

Ok, good point. That means the “Border Angels” are not eligible to adopt a hiway. But what does that have to do with the minute men?

So in the meantime cal trans will allow, anchor babies and Mexican mafia to work their turf? Ever seen the graffiti on California Highways? If you call and complain ( 1-949-724-2000 ) they will say “we cant stop it, its the highway patrol’s job”, and if you call the patrol they say they are too busy handing out tickets to the middle class, just call cal trans to send workers out to clean it up.

It’s a racket they got going, wouldn’t be surprised if they are paying the graffiti to go on, so they can collect taxes to take it off, being that they are now sending people home who would clean it for free!

The risk is in the potential for disruption to the operation of the state highway as well as public safety concerns for the traveling

... for coyotes and their human cargo.

A poster on San Diego indy media threatened to vandalize the I5 sign.

This is another example of open border goons shutting down free speech by border security activists by threatening disruption.

People are really ignorant when it comes to the Minutemen effort.

So now they’ll give it to some sorority at SDSU and have all of those hung over coeds cleaning the side of the highway. Way to increase safety.

The way things are going, you can expect them to give it to the illegals themselves. They’ll be doing jobs Americans won’t or more accurately aren’t allowed to do any longer.

Sounds like that other ‘solution’ to the problem.
Build a Walmart the length of the border, let the workers come from the Mexican side and the shoppers from the American side.
Neither would have the need to go any further...

Well that is a novel idea. If you could incorporate free healthcare, free education and government handouts, plus special interest groups to support the workers and their families, and throw in U.S. Citizenship to boot, you might be on to something.
