Battle on the Border
A group called The Minutemen is planning a vigil to "observe" immigration patterns and report them to U.S. Border patrol officials.
But a central-American gang vows to attack the vigil.
The ACLU will be observing the militia group in order to make sure that the rights of the illegals aren't infringed upon.
A quote from Ira Glasser Racial Justice Fellow Ray Ybarra from the above link: "Perhaps someday we will live in a society where no human being will have to face death and hatred in pursuit of work that this country requires, but until that day comes 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. Hundreds of people die annually in the desert and the American public chooses to turn a blind-eye.”
Dear sir, I know how feel. For years, I've been trying to tell people that hundreds of thousands of illegals enter our country each year and that there are at least 12 MILLION illegals living in our country as we speak, but everybody turns a blind-eye to me, too.
In reference to whole situation, Mexican President Vicente Fox -- in a stroke of evil genius -- made the statement last week that "We totally reject the idea of these migrant-hunting groups. We will use the law, international law and even U.S. law to make sure these types of groups, which are a minority, will not have any opportunity to progress."
Law? Did he say LAW? EVEN U.S. LAW? Does he mean the same law he's wanting thousands of his people to trample on each and every day?
Uh Huh. OK.
...to be continued.
