Schmalts, you know the sad part is...what are we paying the border patrol for? Do the politicians NOT know there is a problem with the border? They're the ones that arent doing crap about it. Dealing with problems like this are not the responsibility of a couple hundred minutemen. When shrub and crew arent going to take it seriously, how do you expect untrained minutemen to stop it? They cant, and thats a fact.
cjcj, you, and I shouldnt have to be standing up and defending the law. I shouldnt have to be stopping illegals from crossing the border.
I dont think the minutemen themselves will do a lick of good by turning in a couple illegals. Any possible good they do will come only through the attention they bring to the problem.
To answer your question, I would turn in an illegal to the border patrol...but I'll be damned if I'm going to approach an illegal and try to physically stop them...I dont get paid enough for that, I dont have the training, and it aint my job.
I do have a line, I wouldnt sit there and let an old lady get mugged, but I dont think we're comparing the same thing...old lady getting mugged...illegal crossing the border...
