U.S. tipping Mexico to Minuteman patrols (telling the Mexican government)
Daily Bulletin ^ | 5/9/2006 | Sara A Carter

Posted on 05/09/2006 6:21:25 AM PDT by IrishMike

While Minuteman civilian patrols are keeping an eye out for illegal border crossers, the U.S. Border Patrol is keeping an eye out for Minutemen -- and telling the Mexican government where they are. According to three documents on the Mexican Secretary of Foreign Relations Web site, the U.S. Border Patrol is to notify the Mexican government as to the location of Minutemen and other civilian border patrol groups when they participate in apprehending illegal immigrants -- and if and when violence is used against border crossers.

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman confirmed the notification process, describing it as a standard procedure meant to reassure the Mexican government that migrants' rights are being observed.

"It's not a secret where the Minuteman volunteers are going to be," Mario Martinez said Monday.

"This ... simply makes two basic statements -- that we will not allow any lawlessness of any type, and that if an alien is encountered by a Minuteman or arrested by the Minuteman, then we will allow that government to interview the person."

Minuteman members were not so sanguine about the arrangement, however, saying that reporting their location to Mexican officials nullifies their effectiveness along the border and could endanger their lives.

"Now we know why it seemed like Mexican officials knew where we were all the time," said Chris Simcox, founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. "It's unbelievable that our own government agency is sending intelligence to another country. They are sending intelligence to a nation where corruption runs rampant, and that could be getting into the hands of criminal cartels.

"They just basically endangered the lives of American people."

Do you also believe that 9/11 was a government plot and GHWB killed JFK? That tinfoil hat looks real cute on you.

Thanks for the ping, TSR. I'm pretty damned disgusted right about now.

{{{This is the government you voted for at work.}}}

That voting base may NOT be there for the next elections. The city that voted out all who were pro-illegals should be in every politician's brain. If not, they'll quickly be updating their resumes and looking for other work. This issue is NOT cooling down - if anything, it's just beginning to percolate.

Just about every time I look at your tag line it makes me smile. I can just hear it in a monotone voice, half heartedly waving pom pom's

Someone should be fired over this, but, hey, this is the federal government.



Ain't that something Dirtboy? Every new day we find out something to the effect that..we don't have a government any more.WE have a Gestapo!They want the American people to realize that THEY are our rulers and they Tell Us what to do and they'll do DAMN WELL what THEY please!!

I can't say I'd be surprised to wake up one morning and find the military in the streets with Marshall law being declared under the watch of machine guns.Then they'll say,"people of the USA...there's not gonna be any voting this election year...we've got who we want in the White House now!We've finally got the right leader for this nation and we're gonna keep him there."

IMPEACH NOW!! BUSH's allegiance has to be to the American citizens before the illegal aliens.

I am totally and completely in disagreement with you on your call for impeachment. What is it? Some new fad?

Since Clinton was impeached, we think we can do it at the drop of a hat? Do you know what it signifies and what it entails? You say you're an angry conservative who wants to take the country back from the libs, but you have now joined them.

Fine with me. I just don't like to see such wild-eyed pronouncements being made by people who claim to be on the side of securing our borders and restoring our sovereignty. The rhetoric of impeachment does not help our cause, only hurts it and I wonder if that is how some people feel why they bother to post on FR, unless it is to discredit those of us sincerely trying to address the problem, within our conservative beliefs.

By the way, you can look through my posts and I am an ardent supporter of fighting the illegal invasion, but I am reserving judgment on claims made in this "story."

Herndon, Virginia.

It may be that we'll see similar election returns elsewhere, if the conservatives don't take our borders and our laws seriously.

The is going to be a four way race for Texas Governor this fall and the official jokester Kinky may beat the phony jokester republicrat and demican candidate

He finishes behind Chris Bell in the polls, in fourth place.

It will be a race between Perry and Ma Whatever-her-name-is-this-week.

Which means it will be a race between the Republican governor and the Democrat Comptroller.

Excellent observation.

Yes the coffee post has been loaded and this immigration issue has been put in the filter and now the constituents are starting to boil and percolate this immigration coffee into a full blown cup of disgust with both political parties.

It is hard for me to believe that some in leadership (McCain, Murdering Ted Kennedy, Hairy Reid, Specter) find it amusing that so many are not buying into their wholesale give away of American to an undeserving group of law breakers.

We didn't stand up and fight McCain Feingold and you can see what a mess has come of that inane legislation.

Good information kit to start with. What I'm interested in is to what extent these two bureaucrats can or can't be considered loyal American conservatives.

Note that I do not consider the fact that Bush appointed them to be of much positive evidentiary value on the question whether they share the values of loyal American conservatives when it comes to defending American sovereignty, protecting our borders and preserving American culture, customs, traditions and the English language.

I wouldn't wish impeachment on our country again, for anything; especially in a time we are at war. I am very worried about who is coming over that border and the danger they present to our nation and I think the minutemen and women are hero's of our time.
