#1 If true, it appears things may get uglier on the border. Perhaps that's exactly what it takes to motive us to address the problem sooner rather than later.

#2 FUNK MS-13! I hope our guys put a dent into MS-13's criminal pathways into the US. I hope our guys are well armed, I'm sure they will be, if needed.

#3 This is welcome news in my opinion. If this is what it takes for the Feds to become serious about enforcing our border security, so be it.

I certainly don't want any "vigilante" blood spilled--let that be clear--and for that reason I'm thankful that MS-13 was kind enough to announce their plans before implementing them. Maybe this will motivate someone, like, oh, say GEORGE W. BUSH, to get serious about protecting our borders.

#4 Maybe this will get it through in Washington that the reason a violent gang is worried about this is because of drug smuggling, human smuggling and maybe even weapon smuggling (see anti-aircraft missiles and bombs) for terrorist groups. I still believe that in order for anything to get done about the border it is gonna take a lot of blood being spilled. More than likely a terrorist attack. Stoopid fooken politicians.

#5 If fired upon, volunteers, if they are able, and Border Patrol agents should fire back, no questions asked.

#6 "We're not worried because half of our recruits are retired trained combat soldiers," Mr. Gilchrist said. "And those guys are just a bunch of punks." All you need to know about the Minutemen is in that statement!

#7 no one need worry seriously about MS getting off their ass and coming in to attack. That would take strategic operational planning of which, this gang does not have. This would take discipline and a functionally operating vehicle, which again, this gang does not have. They would have to put down the weed and stop drinking for a day to do it, and they're just not prepared to go all the way. They may be willing but definitely not ready or capable. I would say the Minutemen's greatest threats are from desperate illegal immigrants crossing that are armed and panic-strickenly dangerous, and/or from the coyotes and human-smugglers that are armed. God Speed to the Minute Men!

#8 Hey - Is there really incursions by the mexican army into US territory? If so - why is nothing done about it? Do we do the same thing to them? Is there any definative evidence that could be brought to the blogs?

#9 YS - numerous documented incursions, especially in the AZ area now (San Diego's fence cut off these games) usually excused as "map-reading mistakes", but occassionally with gunfire and arrests, then repatriation

#12 Last time Latin banditos crossed the border in force Black Jack Pershing went after them. Wasn't long after that the Government of Mexico was replaced.

I would think it is in the best interests of Mexico to come down hard on this gang.

ON the other hand, like Al Queda, thugs often make threats when they cannot actually DO something. That is most likely the case here. If they really wanted to bloody the Minute Men they wouldn't have sent out a warning first.

#13 I'm very concerned about the Minutemen and their approach to trying to close the border. I do expect one or two of them to be killed, either by coyotes, gang members, drug smugglers, or Mexican soldiers. If something like that DOES happen, and the President still refuses to do anything, I think every retired military guy in North America should join the Minutemen, and start patrolling, armed to the teeth and with air support, even if it's a Piper Cub and some dude with night-vision goggles. I think it's also time to start building that chain-link fence from Brownsville to the Pacific, juice it up with about 40,000volts at 120amps, add claymores, above- and below-ground motion sensors, and machine gun nests every 100 yards, an unpaved road, and several hundred motorcycle-riding militiamen swinging past on unscheduled patrol runs, complete with air support and 4-wheel-drive armed backup. This is not just a bunch of people coming north to work - this is a deliberate attempt to undermine our sovereignty in the Southwest, with fatal consequences to our Republic if it isn't stopped.

#14 Forgot to mention: Michelle Malkin has set up a group blog on Immigration issues. Stop by and check it out. Fred, can you get Michelle to link to Rantburg? I think you deserve it.

#15 Mexicans want to live in America the easier way is to move the border south a bit. Start with Baja.

#16 This will not happen.No way can a threat like that be carried out. Just blubber,from somewhere.
