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.

I'm not sure I follow your logic. Did the Minutemen have to be right there with Bush for him to be speaking about them??

[CWOJackson]

"How's this for a theory."

I'd put it below Scientology.

I liken it to a shining city upon a hill. :)

I have that site bookmarked thank you very much. See, you don't know as much as you think you do and you just made yourself look foolish by assuming I didn't know about it. Hell, I still the BushCheny04@georgewbush.com from the election in my address book.

You know what they say about people who assume.....

Geez....look what gets a sidebar while hundreds of other illegals stuff NEVER gets a sidebar.

I know when folks are trying to manipulate me.

Here is the question and answer:

Q (As translated.) Mr. Presidents and Mr. Prime Minister, I wanted to ask you what concrete actions do your governments want to lay out in order to make this partnership a reality as far as energy markets, which is a very critical issue for all of our countries -- energy markets? I also want to ask you in this security and prosperity partnership, when will you include the migratory, or immigration policy in this partnership?

And, President Bush, I wanted to ask you about your opinion about those people who are hunting migrant people along the border.

PRESIDENT BUSH: I'm against vigilantes in the United States of America. I'm for enforcing law in a rational way. That's why you got a Border Patrol, and they ought to be in charge of enforcing the border.

Press Conference

This is the link to the comment, the President was asked about how he felt about immigrants being "HUNTED" on the border, no reference to the Minutemen at all

[Txsleuth]

That sentence doesn't have the word Minutemen in it anywhere that I read.

[Constantine XIII]

Now, hold your horses. You all realize who you sound like, don't you?

"The news report was fake, but accurate."

You are supposed to PING people when you're talking about them. I don't know why you people have so much trouble with that rule.

[FreeReign]

Doesn't look bogus to me.

Read the full transcript. You're wrong.

I agree hatred is a sin. I don't hate the man. I just disagree with many of his domestic policies.

Then you are not in the group I am referring to who are eating this forum alive with their seething hatred.

If you will forgive me, I am going to exercise my freedom of speech here and offer a prayer on behalf of this forum.....

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You tonight, thanking You for this forum, and for JimRob who began it, and who has continued to nurture it and turn it into a powerful force for good. I know, Lord, that this is not a 'religious' forum, but I also know that it stands for GOOD, and that because of its influence and encouragement, the life of the unborn, marriage, morality, justice and righteousness are all raised up in this country.

Father, I love this country, and I thank You daily for President Bush and for his integrity and morality, and unwavering strength of character and conviction.

But, Lord, he has come under the most withering and hateful attack of any President since Lincoln........and it is not because of disagreement with his policy. It is because of hatred of his person, and his being Your child. And we are seeing that hatred manifest itself before our very eyes today.

Father, I ask You right now to get a hold of the Evil that has been struggling to take this forum down, and that You would bind it, and defeat it. I pray that righteousness and honor would be raised up, and that hatred would be defeated, in Your Name, and in the Name of Your Son, Jesus, whose blood was shed for the forgiveness of our sin.

Keep us from sinning, O Lord, and wash us clean, and bring the power of what is right and good back to Free Republic. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.

What part did you not agree with? Our white population is shrinking.

You can't force the white population to have kids can you?
