WorldNetDaily: Illegals-advocate group to stalk Minutemen kids

As Jackie Gleason might have said: Keep it up. Keep it up. And you (that is, that day-laborer center) can all share a crater on the Moon.

I can think of no behavior that would infuriate the American public more than to threaten people's kids because those people want the law enforced. This will also shine an unwelcome spotlight on a town that tells its police not to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

The solution to this kind of shenanigans is simple: declare that unlawful presence in the United States is ipso facto a federal felony. That would empowere the Minutemen to grab those illegals by the backs of their shirt collars and hale them into the nearest ICE office. The formal term for what I just proposed is "citizen's arrest."
