Minutemen Get Results
Since I'm posting from the road in beautiful Southern Arizona, a land I would love to make my home, I thought it only right to report on the success of the Minuteman Project, which is striving to defend the Arizona–Mexico border from the alien invaders that certainly include drug smugglers and violent gang members and potentially include terrorists.
WorldNetDaily reports that the Minutemen helped apprehend 18 illegal aliens attempting to invade our country near Naco. Far from behaving like the "vigilantes" an embarrassed President Bush has tried to make them out to be, the Minutemen simply report invaders to the Border Patrol, which then takes them into custody.
Another invader inadvertently strolled right into a Minuteman camp.
"But it turned out to be his lucky day," said Minuteman spokesman Fred Elbel. "He was tired and dehydrated and we gave him medical attention, food and drink before handing him over to the Border Patrol."
The Mexican Government, which evidently sees illegal immigration as a means of conquering the Southwestern region of the United States, not only encourages illegal immigrants to invade, but now has the jaw-dropping audacity to threaten to sue any Americans who harm an invader in defense of their country.
The ACLU — a devoted enemy of the United States — is of course adamantly opposed to the idea that we might defend our borders. Ravings of a Mad Tech has an excellent post on this nefarious organization's attempts to propagandize against the Minuteman Project, which includes some highly illuminating quotes from ACLU press releases, including some gems from "Ira Glasser Racial Justice Fellow" Ray Ybarra, who raves that:
the experiences of undocumented immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico Border needs to be highlighted in order to demonstrate the fact that this is one of the grossest human rights violations in the history of the United States.
It looks like we don't have much to feel guilty about if the conditions vicious gangs are forced to endure while smuggling narcotics and illegal aliens into our country constitute one of our "grossest human rights violations." In addition to not defending the border, I suppose we should be air-conditioning the desert for their convenience. If jackasses like Ybarra had been around during the War of 1812, they would have demanded that we pass out matches and gasoline to the British troops that burned Washington. If any of the Redcoats were careless with the matches and singed their fingers, America would have another gross human rights violation weighing heavily on its soul.
The real purpose of the Minuteman Project is not to catch every invader crossing into Arizona, but to generate enough attention to shame our Government into performing perhaps its most fundamental function, defending our borders. It's pleasing to think that the useful idiots at the ACLU have inadvertently been useful to the good guys for once, by generating controversy that in turn has generated more media coverage.

Excellent post. I couldn't agree more.
Especially this
"The real purpose of the Minuteman Project is not to catch every invader crossing into Arizona, but to generate enough attention to shame our Government into performing perhaps its most fundamental function, defending our borders."
What is this, another third rail of politics? I have heard the dems see these people as constituents and the reps as cheap labor for their corporate interests.
So it seems like they are giving the farm away in the name of political popularity.
My hat is off to the minutemen. Every damn one of them.
