WorldNetDaily: Pol: Paper made up quotes about Minutemen

Specifically, Councilman David Pfeffer of Santa Fe, NM, told the Albuquerque Journal that he would like to see Minuteman-like citizen patrols along the border near his city. But now, after catching a lot of heat from what I presume are his liberal friends, he denies that he ever said that.

For what it's worth, the Albuquerque Journal stands by the story and insists that they checked, cross-checked, and double-checked the reporter's notes on his speech. Also worth noting is where the councilman made his remarks: to a gathering of Minuteman volunteers in Tombstone, AZ (yes, that Tombstone), their chief staging point.

WorldNetDaily has this paraphrase of Councilman Pfeffer's attempted qualification:

While Pfeffer told KRQE[-TV] he supports securing the border between the U.S. and Mexico and appreciates the Minutemen raising issues about illegal immigration, his goal in traveling to Arizona was to observe the project and not ask the volunteers to come to New Mexico.

I would advise the Minuteman to come to Santa Fe anyway. What Pfeffer can't dispute or argue with is the success of the project. With enough volunteers, we could stop illegal immigration just that way.
