Do you really think that the President of the United States was briefed on the actions of a small group of people on the border, and they were a very small group at that time. Something tells me that the CIA didn't include the Minutemen in his daily brief,
The statement was made in March '05. The MM were on the border in April '05.
The MM were not on the border at the time of the statement.
The reporter asked the president about activity that was currently on the border.
The President responded with his general opinion about what he did want to see on the border and what he didn't want to see on the border.
