| Nice title - can you feel the MSM/Al-Rooters snark? NOGALES, Ariz. (Reuters) - A civilian militia in Arizona seeking to stop illegal aliens coming in from Mexico claimed its first immigrant when a hapless Guatemalan wandered into the group's base camp seeking help. They, of course, shot him dead, being drunken white bigots with guns....no? They didn't? A spokesman for the controversial Minuteman Project, which has rallied hundreds of volunteers to join a month-long vigil on the border, said on Sunday a Guatemalan migrant unwittingly walked into the camp. The volunteers then handed him to the Border Patrol. those bastards! Amigos de la Migra! Apparently lost and desperate for food and water, the man headed for a Bible college on Friday in Palominas, just north of the Mexican border, unaware it was being used for a militia base camp. Since it usually functions to help illegals flood the U.S., huh? "He inadvertently wandered into the hornets' nest," Minuteman spokesman Fred Elbel told Reuters. "He was stung?" "Uh..well...no...but they taunted him" "But it turned out to be his lucky day," he added. "He was tired and dehydrated and we gave him medical attention, food and drink before handing him over to the Border Patrol." ooh those inhuman bastardos! The U.S. Border Patrol had no immediate comment. Organizers of the Minuteman Project, which takes its name from American Revolution militia, said volunteers would stake out a 20-mile stretch of the border with Mexico and report illegal aliens to the Border Patrol. The volunteers, including retirees and housewives from as far away as California and Maryland, begin their patrols on Monday and will continue until April 30. President Bush calls them vigilantes and the Mexican government has warned it will file civil suits against any who lays a finger on Mexican nationals during the exercise. The Arizona Border Patrol also says the militia is not welcome and has warned them that volunteers risk confrontations with increasingly violent drug and people traffickers. Our president needs to get his head right and in front of this and seal the border except to legal immigrants. His legacy will forever be tainted as Fox's bitch, and he won't see Dollar one from me in contributions otherwise |

| #2 Two days and only 1 illegal? Sounds like what they are doing is working. If the illegals get through the Mexican Army, now 1000 strong, on the far side of this section of border, and *then* they get past the newly-augumented Border Patrol guarding this section of border, then and only then do they have a chance of being seen by the Minutemen. What they ought to do is blow everybody's mind, and start doubling the distance between outposts. They might even stop illegals entering all of Arizona for a day or two, and cause several corporations stock to drop by a few percent. |

| #1 There is a huge building boom going on here in Lubbock; new malls, private houses, medical offices and various other yuppy warrens going up seemingly at every intersection. This is all with little or no increase in population and no new industry. A local developer recently confided to me that the reason is the "sharp drop in labor costs" making it possible to replace old units with new ones and "there is pressure to get this done while the (labor) climate is so favorable". He didn't give any reason for this drop in labor costs but anyone who has been to one of the local sites can easily guess. Incidentally, unemployment among union construction workers is at a record high in this area. |
