Fair is Fair - Give info to Minutemen

Michelle Malkin has brought to light the story of how our government is providing information on the activities of law-abiding citizens to a foreign government that is bent on the destruction of our constitutional government and the annexation of the southwestern US including two of our three largest states. Am I over reacting? Is this simply hyperbole meant to inflame? I don't think so, but I'll let you decide.

First, let me explain for my family and friends in Arkansas. There are people in our government that are telling the Mexican government where American citizens are observing the US/Mexican border so that Mexicans who wish to break our laws and enter this country illegally can avoid them. Further, American border patrol agents have been ordered to disregard the calls of ordinary US citizens reporting an illegal border crossing.

The Mexican government encourages its citizens to come to the US and send money back to Mexico. This illegal subsidizing of the Mexican economy is in the billions of dollars annually. The public uproar has caused the border patrol suits to back-track and throw out false stories to cover up their spying on US citizens. Malkin addresses this directly here.

I am among the staunchest of President Bush's supporters. His administration is wrong on this. We need to secure all of our borders, document all persons who cannot show legal residency, and begin the process of returning them to their country of origin (all countries, all races without discrimination) where they can begin the process of LEGALLY entering this country. Yes this will be painful and possibly have a negative impact on our economy. But to do anything less is endangering the safety and security of United States citizens. If a nation needs financial aid, let it be appropriated through the congressional budget process legally.

In the meantime, it is only fair that to offset the Customs & Border Patrol, our government should provide private citizen border watch groups with all intelligence that it has on the most used routes and locations for illegal border crossings. After all, fair is fair.
