Minutemen Part 12
The new Border Patrol Chief seems to understand that he is supposed to serve the people of his own country first and that when citizens start to do the job of his employees, then something is wrong. If the Border Patrol was doing its job, we would not have groups like the Minutemen.
Here is the Washington Post Story:
The top U.S. border enforcement official said Wednesday that his agency is exploring ways to involve citizen volunteers in creating "something akin to a Border Patrol auxiliary" _ a significant shift after a high-profile civilian campaign this spring along the Arizona-Mexico border.Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Robert C. Bonner told The Associated Press that his agency began looking into citizen involvement after noting how eager volunteers were to stop illegal immigration.
"We value having eyes and ears of citizens, and I think that would be one of the things we are looking at is how you better organize, let's say, a citizen effort," Bonner said.
