WHAT ARE CIVILIANS DOING PROTECTING THE BORDER? | 2005-04-09

Many in the media are demanding to know why CIVILIANS are down there helping protect the American border?

The answer to this is very simple. America is the first country in world history to declare that our armed forces have no right to defend their country's borders.What if you had told the Founding Fathers that the American armed forces had no right to defend our borders?

They would have put you in the madhouse where you belonged.

The military is prohibited from protecting the border. Civilians are prohibited from protecting their border.

Decades of experience make one thing clear: the so-called Border Patrol is totally ineffective.

The media is terribly worried that the Minutemen may cause the wonderful situation at the border and Mexico will be upset by these nasty Minutemen. President Bush never even mentions any of the murders and rapes committed by illegal aliens who are protected by the Mexican Government. But he is denouncing those "vigilantes" who are reporting illegal aliens to the Border Patrol.
