Minuteman Project Ready to Go

For those of you who haven't heard of it, the Minuteman Project is a movement to document illegal immigrants from Mexico as they try to cross the border.

The plan is to spread out along the border between Mexico and Arizona, and report any illegal crossings to border patrol agents.

Of course, this has the Left in a tizzy.

"They are domestic terrorists that represent a danger to the country and could promote a major border conflict that will have serious ramifications and consequences," said Armando Navarro, a University of California-Riverside political science professor and coordinator of the National Alliance for Human Rights, made up mostly of Hispanic activists.

A danger to the country? And why is it that our porous borders aren't a concern? Not only do illegals who get in create a drain on health care, welfare and other public programs, but there is the danger that Islamic terrorists can get in. After all, why would Mexico care?

And of course, the whole thing is being blamed upon white supremacist groups. However, according to Michelle Malkin,

Contrary to the ACLU and mainstream media representations of the group as racists and immigrant-bashers, the Minutemen are a diverse volunteer group that includes Americans of Mexican, Armenian, Russian, Lebanese, Indian and Cuban descent; and black and Native American minorities. Also among the volunteers are 19 legal immigrants from Mexico, Peru, Russia, New Zealand, England, Australia and the Philippines.

The ACLU seems to care more about the rights of non-citizens than citizens of the United States. What does that say to you?

The Minuteman Project is shedding some much-needed light on a major problem at our southern border. I say more power to them.
