Minutemen planning national action at U.S. borders
Now their effort is going national. In October, thousands of Minutemen will form a vigil stretching across much of the northern and southern borders.

Some Minuteman Civil Defense Corps volunteers are arriving early along the Texas-Mexico border in response to the Homeland Security Department's decision to temporarily shift some Border Patrol agents to the Gulf Coast to help in Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts. Minuteman organizers said in a prepared statement that the shift "leaves our country vulnerable to increased trafficking by illegal aliens and terrorists attempting to enter the United States."

7. I don't think they'll stay long at the northern border.
Co-founder Chris Simcox said simply: “People on the East Coast couldn't care less.”

3. Don't these clowns have jobs?, lives?, families?
It would take a lot of hate to get me running around with a gun.

These asshole loggers around here are a lot more of a threat than immigrants. Whole forests shaved to the ground versus Mexicans coming over to wash dishes and clean toilets? What is wrong with Americans?

4. Bush and the Feds sure as shit aren't fixing the problem.
Only goes to show... if you want something done right, you do it yourself(s).

14. What's the problem? Change the law, let them work and pay taxes...
Those maids and gardeners and masons aren't hurting anyone, and make great neighbors, by and large, bringing with them their traditional, earthy family values.

Beats having a racist, skinhead nazi republican for a neighbor, that's for sure.

5. I heard that a bunch of Mexicans will be sneaking in by sea Friday night
Those 'minutemen' better go stand on the beach in Galveston and keep watch!

(I also heard that the 'minutemen' were given that nickname by their wives...)

8. I bet it will be exciting watching the Canadian border

Will they stop Americans from leaving? Or are they just trying to "intercept" some shipments of primo Canadian bud to fund their wannabe Army?

12. Those damned Canadians!
We just want to come over for poutine.

Please let us cross. You know it's delicious. We won't stay. We won't steal your precious toilet cleaning jobs like the Mexicans do.

:)

while patrolling the Canadian border.

Cigarette smuggling. Especially in Quebec.

15. Work to change the laws, not condone scofflaws.
This is not a race issue, it's an economic issue.

Everyone of those landscapers, maids and clerks are taking jobs from American citizens.

When every American in the job market is gainfully employed, then let's throw the doors open to our neighbors.

And please no racist rhetoric about how nobody wants the jobs they take. Talk to the 400 people who applied for 12 McDonald's jobs in my city.

The influx of illegals is depressing American wages and in the long run helping very few except CEOs who are only too happy to oblige.

16. Shucks, I'm out of landmines.

Just as the hunting season for the Loony White American Racist Moron begins and they aggregate in such large migratory herds on little strips of land.
