As I understand things, the Minutemen do NOT apprehend anyone. They report to the Border Patrol and let them apprehend (when they -the BP- can spare the time).
If this is the case, then at no time, does the Border Patrol have to report their (MM) positions, by treaty. Yet, said positions are being reported. According to Mexico and the BP. You can color this as "squealing" or simply un-American/anti-US security, but it is egregious in all instances.
The case is far more clearcut with the San Diego area group, who only told their position to the BP and the Mexican government admits they know where they are.
What good does it do to turn illegals over to the BP when they supposedly have a catch and release policy? At least, that's what I've heard/read. Seems to me the MinuteMen are wasting their efforts if the BP just lets them go on the Mexican side of the border, only to try again.
We need to rise up en masse and let the government know we want those borders closed. Period. What are we paying taxes for, if not for national (border) security? All it's going to take is ONE terrorist that waltzes across the border along with the illegals, who manages to release a bio or chem attack, or even a suitcase nuke, and the Rep Party will be doomed for years, maybe even decades, for having 'let' it happen.
That's my understanding, the minute men do not apprehend anyone, they only call the BC. So why would they ever have to be mentioned?
Exactly. This is what is so frustrating as I read these affirmation/denial reports. There has never been contact between the Minutemen and the illegals and thus the BP's explanations for reporting the Minutemen's locations are nonsensical. They simply don't fit the situation.
By the same token, I wonder why the Minutemen feel compelled to report their locations to the BP. I know they want to play it extremely safe, but they're on private land, are they not? Invited by the landowners? They should think twice from here on out about reporting their location to any government entity.
