The Counterterrorism Blog - Border "Minutemen" - The Sure Sign of Failure
news.yahoo.com

By Andrew Cochran

Up to 500 volunteers are signing up to for something called the "Minutemen Project" to patrol a 40-mile stretch of the Arizona broder. These are ordinary citizens, organized by a decorated Vietnam vet, who are sick and tired of seeing thousands of illegal aliens, with terrorists probably among them, waltz through our Swiss-cheese border. Historically, volunteer law enforcement (I don't like the term "vigilante") has always been the sure sign of the failure of the official law enforcement system to deal with a virus of illegal activity. The Bush Administration and Congress should not blame the good citizenry of Arizona for taking upon themselves the task for which we pay with our tax dollars. The proposed increase of just over 200 Border Patrol agents is too little and almost too late.
