The frustrated people of Arizona are taking matters into their own hands. They will do what George Bush refuses to do: protect our southern border. The Minutemen Project is an idea whose time has come!
While we’re spending billions to keep the enemy in Iraq at bay, enemies in our own country continue to use our own stupidity and suicidal tendencies against us. But real men are saying, “No more!”
Intent on securing the vulnerable Arizona border from illegal immigrant crossings, U.S. officials are bracing for what they call a potential new threat this spring: the Minutemen.Nearly 500 volunteers have already joined the Minuteman Project, anointing themselves civilian border patrol agents determined to stop the immigration flow that routinely, and easily, seeps past federal authorities. They plan to patrol a 40-mile stretch of the southeast Arizona border throughout April when the tide of immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border peaks. (Source)
Yes! I was beginning to wonder if America was a nation of weak-kneed wimps.
For background on Arizona’s plight, see Liberals and the Will of the People of Arizona. As irritated as I am about illegal immigration and Bush’s threat to give amnesty to lawbreakers already here, I can only imagine what the citizens of Arizona must be going through. But we all go the way of that state because the Muslim scourge is sneaking into our country right along with Mexicans:
Officials concede the 370-mile Arizona border is the most porous stretch on the U.S.-Mexico line. Moreover, recent intelligence show that al-Qaida terrorists are likely to enter the country through the Mexico border, James Loy, the deputy secretary of the Homeland Security Department, said last week.“Several al-Qaida leaders believe operatives can pay their way into the country through Mexico, and also believe illegal entry is more advantageous than legal entry for operational security reasons,” Loy said in written testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee.
There is a proud tradition of Americans volunteering to do what the government will not or cannot. From ushistory.org:
By the time of the [American] Revolution, Minutemen had been a well-trained force for six generations in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Every town had maintained its ‘training band’. The adversity that this region faced-Native-American uprisings, war with France, and potential for local insurrections, social unrest, and rioting-provided ample reason to adhere to a sound militia organization.
Modern day America is being invaded by foreigners to our south, and a volunteer force of Americans is exactly what is needed to combat the enemy. Many people don’t understand this because the “enemy” isn’t taking us by brute force. Every day we prostrate ourselves and consult Vicente Fox or any other nation about our foreign policy, America’s sovereignty is eroded. The so-called rights of foreigners who cross our borders are in many ways greater than our own. I, for one, don’t like it one bit.
Personally, I like the idea of Americans taking it upon themselves to defend their homeland. I wholeheartedly support this group and suggest that get a “Donate” button. I won’t rest until I see more headlines like this: Deportees sent back by the planeload .
I’ve written about illegal immigration many times. In fact, there’s an immigration category. Two posts chockfull of statistics: Death of the West and George Bush’s Immigration Non-Policy.
