Don't take my word for any of this, but I struggled through the Spanish on the link you provided. It looks to me like the Mexican govt has petitioned the U.S. govt for the desired cooperation.

In the meantime, the Mexican govt is working on getting cooperation from local law enforcement agencies in San Diego, Brownsville, TX and Albuquerque, NM. They say they have obtained statements from LEOs in those areas denouncing the Minutemen.

Basically, what this site is is a project of the Mexican govt, to work within the United States, to discredit the Minutemen and they say they are getting some cooperation locally.

According to the claims made on the site, San Diego BP sector chief Darryl Griffen has pledged cooperation in reporting Minuteman activites, specifically in Campo, California.

They state the Mexican consulates in the U.S. are also watching the Minutemen and similar groups.

I do not see claims that Mexico has the cooperation per se of the USBP, but they have petitioned for overall cooperation. They keep using the term 'vigilantes' over and over and that, combined with the extravagant claims, makes me wonder if someone in the Mexican Foreign Affairs Dept. is just posting propaganda.

For certain, they are admitting the Mexican government is working covertly in this country to undermine the Minutemen.

Now that I would consider an act of aggression that State Dept. should respond to. But, of course, State never chastises Mexico for anything.

and why can't our government tell the corrupt Mexican government we expect them to "cooperate" by restraining their citizens from crossing OUR order....and if not, THEY CAN GO POUND SAND?

"According to the claims made on the site, San Diego BP sector chief Darryl Griffen has pledged cooperation in reporting Minuteman activites, specifically in Campo, California."

OK, so one sector chief with Customs and Border Patrol is on record as collaborating with Mexico, in an attempt at discrediting a group of US citizens, who are attempting to halt the flow of Mexican nationals flowing into the country illegally.

It's unlikely that Chief Griffen is acting against the wishes of his superiors. So, the question is, how far up the chain of command does this go? CBP is part of Homeland Security. CBP has their hands in port security as well.

Thank you. I was so disgusted, that I just got up and went to bed last night. It could be propaganda, but then again, when we hear the rhetoric about Minutemen straight from the administration, who knows? Mushroom syndrome : (
