Minutemen Options

[pezking]

So I joined (volunteered) the Northern Virginia Minutemen this week. This should be interesting. Basically it sounds like my primary function will be to camp out 7-11s and work sites to take pictures of companies and their trucks that hire illegals immigrants. After verifying, the records are then sent into the IRS. My secondary position will be graphics and web stuff. Sounds promising. Just figured I'd try to action something to make a difference for my beliefs instead of just blowing hot air in these forums.

Here's the LINK to their main site... not the prettiest site, but it gets the message across.

Amen.

They found this illegal immigrant that had been living in this high school for awhile. Our country is so f-ing PC now that they praised him as a hero. Now if that guy had been a homeless veteran, he's probably be in jail right now.

I feel bad about people have a low standard of living and trying to improve their lives... I wish them all the best, just do it legally and pay taxes. Hilary Clinton said the other day, "even if it is illegal, they are just trying to provide for their families." Now that sounds all nice and dandy, but what are the chances of that excuse working for a US citizen? Can a busted drug dealer tell a judge, "I was just providing for my family"? Can the guy that steals your car next week say the same thing? I'll bet there's a lot of people breaking the law to provide for their families! The Enron execs could get off scott free!!! We're setting up a huge standard for this now.

Once this whole immigration bills passes or not, this country is going to be changing quickly. The standards will change and how we interact with foreigners will change as well. I'm wondering how well citizens' arrests hold up nowadays?
