Inland Valley Daily Bulletin Inaccurate
(05/09/2006)Statement Today’s report by the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, “U.S. tipping Mexico to Minuteman patrols,” is inaccurate. Border Patrol does not report activity by civilian, non-law enforcement groups to the Government of Mexico. During a detention of a legal or illegal immigrant that produces an allegation of improper treatment, Border Patrol reports the allegation and allows the appropriate consulate to interview the individual in custody.
This is consistent with the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations of 1963 that provides consular access to foreign nationals being detained by a foreign government. This is the same agreement that protects United States citizens when they travel to foreign countries.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Border Patrol continues to appreciate the efforts of civilians who contact law enforcement authorities regarding suspicious activity.
The same thing that happen to Jason Blair
"OK folks, maybe it's time to let cooler heads prevail."
ROFLMAO, Dan Rather still stands behind his story too :-)
Even the NYT stands by stories that aren't true.
Next?
HUH? Are you really dense or do you just play dense here?
I have you number, pbrown.
You're here to disrupt.
I am on the right side of the border issue, but I do not follow y'all over the cliff. The story has not been verified. In fact, it's been denied.
if true.....it's absolutely disgusting
tipping off an utterly corrupt nation of our citizen's actions on our land
i hope it's not true.
You blindly trust a government press release. Next?
Then why are YOU posting to ME? I don't post to you; I just scroll right by your posts.
Use a little self-control.
Only to correct the spelling of someone's name, not for anything substantive.
I think they are taking a lesson from the Duke case.
Unfortunately, I don't think they can hear us.
Your abject hatred for all things Bush.
Your turn.
Prove it.
I saw that! I could not believe my own eyes!
Howlin, we've been infiltrated. No doubt about it.
Yes, agitprop stories are a dime a dozen.
Have you read Strategery by Bill Sammon? It's worth buying it (just because my name is in it) just to read the chapters on her getting the story and her defense of it!
In fact, I think she may be posting here.
I read that story...and Chris Simcox was the only one that was saying that the US. Government was telling the Mexican Government where the Minutemen are..
The first 99% of the article just states that the Mexican Government is notified if an illegal is caught or mistreated, by any civilian group or others...
That just sounds like a "good neighbor policy"...wouldn't you want the US Consulate to be notified if an American going across the border was being mistreated by anyone??
And, I am not accusing the Minutemen of mistreating them, nor do I think the article does...I think it is Simcox taking a state diplomatic policy "personally".
Dupka Broham is that you?
