news:K9Lge.76006$WI3.51424@attbi_s71... 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... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" 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. Jay B |

Many elderly residents of southern AZ took part. 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. |
