WorldNetDaily: Mexico, U.S. to be 'integrated'?
He was speaking to an audience in Texas that he thought would be sympathetic. According to this article, it wasn't--or at least, not entirely.
But his most galling declaration was his wish that the Minutemen be prosecuted. For what? For monitoring the border and serving as extra eyes and ears for the Border Patrol? Because that's all they've done. He's just upset because the Minutemen have succeeded in completely interdicting border crossings along the 23-mile stretch of the US-Mexican border that they currently patrol.
And it gets better: the Minutemen have 15,000 volunteers to establish a much larger force along the entire length of the border. More than that, they're going to picket, rat-out, and otherwise make life a little more difficult for American businesses who, chiefly because they are unscrupulous and shortsighted, hire workers who are not lawful residents. No, they will not, as Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson once said was her favorite way to scare people, "go into the kitchens of trendy Los Angeles restaurants and shout, Immigracion!" Instead, they will call the Immigration Customs and Enforcement office in the LA Federal Building and tell them that if they went to the kitchen of the trendy LA restaurant, they'd score quite a catch of illegal immigrants.
Meanwhile, the ACLU's so-called legal monitors of the Minutemen have been caught smoking pot on patrol. Don't just take my word for it. See for yourselves. (Hat tip for the higher-res photos: Michelle Malkin's Immigration Blog.) Add to it that the Border Patrolmen's union supports the Minutemen, and it's hard to feature how anyone can prosecute those men successfully.
