ABC News reports on the 'Minutemen' Volunteers Watching the 370-mile Arizona border. Incensed was one comment by Ray Borane, the mayor of nearby Douglas, a border town of 15,000 mostly Hispanic residents.
"They have a lynch-mob mentality, especially when it comes to dealing with illegal immigrants," he said. "[The Minutemen] have no training, no sensitivity. They come in here and have a good time chasing these people down and then leave. That doesn't set very well with us here."
If the "vigilantes," make you as incensed as Mr. Borane, fret not because ABC says that "Mexican reporters were watching American reporters watching the Minutemen, Border Patrol and ACLU volunteers." Sometimes I wonder who the real Vigilantes are.

Bring us your tired, poor, huddled masses (etc.???) as long as they have a visa, green card, or the such, AND as long all of the above pay taxes or lack there of, yet we still give them drivers licnses, employment(under the table and above the law)in resturants, fields, yards,... and finally something is being done (sort of; in one place; not here) but the government is not involved (yet) and when they do (IF EVER) they will probably go after the actual US citizens, not the illegal immagrants.
The previous comment is indicitave of our current situation in this country.
When the immigrants of the early US came here they registered, paid taxes, believed in our country, backed our government, became an integral part of society, kept in touch with their heritage, and made our county what it is today.
Now our new (illegal)immigrants rarely (if ever)do any of the above, and yet the citizens of this great country (for the most part) don't speak, act, or realize the severity of the situation.
Can anyone please tell me how, when and more specifically WHY....this all changed???
