Neighborhood Watch on the Border

What do my fellow politically-aware i-club homies think of the Minuteman Project assisting the Border Patrol in doing their job?

Good idea?
Right Wing Extremism?

Hahaha.....My prediction is this program won't last long. It will only take one over-zealous "minuteman" and they will pull the plug.....

How much are you paying now to support illegals in regards to higher health insurance costs, higher car insurance costs, diluted Social Security benefits for citizens, etc, etc, etc?

I'd gladly pay $4 for a head of lettuce to have poor, welfare-receiving Americans pick it.

a) bullcrap. you would be whining after a month of inflated numbers. more than lettuce would go up

b) poor, welfare-receiving Americans wont be picking up lettuce. are you kidding? they've got hours of TiVo to catch up on

You are quite the educated one huh?
So you would rather have our borders flowing with "workers" pay higher cost to support them? What about paying the higher costs for national security and running the risk or terrorists blending in with the others crossing the border just to keep your produce prices down?

Before you start calling people un-educated you should examine what you say first.

Un-employment of US citzens would go down. We would have a shot at healthcare for every american and our border would be more secure.

That's a horrible situation.

If this administration as well as apst ones had not failed to even address this issue. The citizens of the Southwest would not even feel a need to do this.

Again; reports have shown that American workers would not take the jobs that the illegals do.

Healthcare has nothing to do with the workers coming over. Because, if they were given some kind of card and taxed then they would be working and paying into the system, unlike the tens of thousands of Americans who sit on their asses and use Medicaid and Medicare.
You are telling me to use facts? Once I can read through any of your posts and find one fact then you can tell me to use some.
