Inland Valley Daily Bulletin Inaccurate (Border Patrol rebuts Minutemen report)

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.

"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??"

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.

Unfortunately, you are right.

"You're confused. The only proof you need is someone from the government telling you it isn't so."

And you are trying to tell me the MSM is a source of truth? Are you kidding me??? You are going to believe some MSM reporter who has disappeared since the story was published and ignore the firm denials of the agencies she's falsely accused? The fact that Americans still take ANYTHING the MSM says as true is really the only evidence I'll accept that our country could be on the road to failure. It would appear you lead the pack.

in going after our enemies, for the first time in maybe 50-60 years.

I've backed him 100% on that and no one on here can say different. I'll fight with anyone who dares to challenge him on that.

If one doesn't agree 100% with what Bush says, we are immediately called Bush bashers. Which weakens their argument because they don't know us enough to make that charge. They just like to throw that out to make themselves feel superior in some strange twisted way.

I won't follow him blindly when I see our country being invaded by a horde of illegal aliens, bankrupting this country and threatening our very existence and heritage.

I believed it when I first heard it. All one has to do is look at the open border to see Bush doesn't think we are worth protecting when it comes to our borders. If he did, they would be locked down tight. You can't win a WOT with open porous borders.

First you accused me of demanding something or other from some group of people you referred to as "us". I asked you to please point out exactly where I had demanded anything from anyone.

So far, you haven't pointed me anywhere. Does that mean that you lied when you made that baseless charge?

Would it be more credible if I had put the word 'lied' in bold caps? Is that how it works? Please tell me if that's the way it works in your world.

On second thought, don't bother replying. I'm through with you, too.

Someone is BS'ing.

Or doing some Clintonian parsing of terms.

IIRC, The Border Patrol declined to put a representative on air
on Lou Dobbs tonight.

Whether that's just because they didn't have an asbestos suit
available or the managers at The Border Patrol were trying to
find a way out of the situation...we'll find out eventually.

So, it's interesting to see that even though the news story had
circulated most of the day...the BP still didn't know how to react publically.
Maybe that just shows they are inept AND honest on this point.

Why are you?

You're the one who has said "I don't care" to me twice now.

I'm simply stating I don't care if you don't want to read my responses. Get over it and don't reply if you don't like them.
