I'm sure this would have a greater effect on deaths if they could somehow determine which people had crossed the desert to get here. A lot of those people probably paid a thousand dollars or more to have a coyote bring them over.

I've no fucking clue how Mister McCombs is mentally justifying such a description of the "American Border Patrol." For those of you who aren't a-ware, this is basically just the name that Glenn Spencer (A proud member of the terrorist organization JDL, as well, if you didn't have enough reason to hate him all-ready) adopted for his "Minuteman Project" after the local "press" and citizenry didn't prove to be quite as favorable to his cause as he had hoped. They tend to keep a rather low-profile these days, and have mostly "gone high-tech;" But, yeah, they're still hanging a-round the border.

Shouldn't that be American Border Patrol Patrol?

Maybe we need to start taking them further south. Say, Tierra Del Fuego?

I haven't been following them but wasn't he the Minuteman founder who was accused of embezzling 10s of millions of donations?

I think the worst part of that story is that there were tens of millions of donations to a bunch of guys sitting in lawn chairs watching the border.

Yeah if i remeber correctly these good old boys raised donations on the promise they would buy some land and patrol the border themselves. One night they got off their lawn chairs and upon coming across some poor mexican fellow they neglected to phone it in to the US border patrol deciding instead to lock him up in a shed on the ranch.
The Southern Poverty law center managed to sue the Minuteman and win a judgement whereby they gave the title of the Minutemen's US ranch over to the dirt poor illegal immigrant.
Rarely is there such poetic justice.

I know that there was some in-fighting amongst the leader-ship regarding finances a-while back; But, what few details that I did manage to pick-up at the time were so scarce and inconsistent that I never really did get a clear idea of what the fuck was going on. But, what-ever happened there was obviously the result of the group's splintering at that point.

Maybe the minutemen wised up and realized they could hire 10 times as many illegal aliens to watch the border for the same price.

Oh, that's so cynical. I'm sure the people they hired were part of some guest worker program.
