... millions of illegal crossing the borders every week ... millions?

The figures I heard were about 4,000 illegal infiltrators a night, and
an estimate of 1-million a year crossing the southern border.

Yeah, I wonder if "Operation Minuteman" (or whatever the heck it's called)
is having any effect?

Or if all the good ole boy volunteers got tired of driving around the
desert, and went home...

Updated: 11:32 a.m. ET May 4, 2005WASHINGTON - The month-long
volunteer effort by a grassroots citizen group monitoring illegal
immigration along a desolate 23-mile stretch of the Arizona-Mexico
border ended much as it started: in a war of words.

The so-called Minuteman Project says its nearly 900 volunteers,
some of them armed, were so successful that during April the
border area they monitored witnessed “a 98 percent reduction in
border crossings.” But the number is difficult to independently
verify.

The Minuteman Project also claims it was directly responsible for
the apprehension by U.S. Border Patrol agents of 349 people trying
to illegally enter the United States during the month, according
to Grey Deacon, a spokesman for the project.

During their watch on the border, if Minuteman volunteers ...

Yes it had an effect. It had an effect where the "Operation
Minuteman" people were stationed. They admitted that the illegal
border crossers simply moved over beyond where they were though.

Jay H,

It's unusual for you to jump to stereotypes...

Yeah, some of them probably came with the twisted idea of going Mexican
hunting, but most of the volunteers were armed with nothing more than a pair
of binoculars, a radio and a cooler of soda. Many elderly residents of
southern AZ took part.

You'd have to live down in this part of the country to better understand the
situation. It goes beyond just the integrity of the boarder itself because
of the impact it has on the people who live down in southeast AZ. Ranchers
are losing cattle and horses. Supplies are being stolen out of barns and
sheds. "Coyotes" (imigrant smugglers) routinely just dump their load of
Mexicans in the desert to fend for themselves (if they don't shoot them all
in the head first.) There have been several incidents of "Coyote Road Rage"
where rival vanloads of illegals have exchanged gunfire on area freeways
during rush hour.

Like most issues, there are sub-issues which branch off into many different
areas that don't necessarilly get any press or consideration.

Hmm...since you mentioned stereotypes...is it unusual for YOU to jump to
them?

"...some of them probably came with the twisted idea of going Mexican
hunting". If they did, it was after being told for weeks beforehand to lose
that notion. The organizers were quite explicit in defining the rules of
engagement.
