Minutemen Return to Southern Border

Members of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps returned to the US border with Mexico over the weekend. Reports say some are armed with sidearms.

We welcome the news that the Minutemen are, once again, at our Southern border and expect more to join them in the next few days.

US leaders have no idea of the depth of passion, on the part of Legal US Citizens, over the proposed “Amnesty” the US Senate and the President are attempting to ram down the throats of Americans.

When illegals can march in our streets without the fear of arrest, or retaliation, by law enforcement authorities, the message sent to legal citizens is that the authorities can no longer protect them and their families, nor the country. It shouts to the world: “We have lost control!”

Additionally, the message received is: Americans are on their own. This is the point where privately owned firearms are taken from their gun safes, and gun cabinets, and cleaned, and oiled up, and the sale of ammunition skyrockets. Americans are going to protect themselves, their families, and their property, as is their right under God… and the Constitution.

Watch for the ranks of the Minutemen to swell over the next few days as Southern Americans, especially those from the Border States, fill the vacuum left by lax law enforcement by the government.

The lack of understanding, and the lack of interest, in the US Citizen’s concerns, over the Illegal immigration problem, by the President and the Congress, is jaw dropping. They have no inkling of the firestorm about to be brought down on their heads. The same holds true for the Mainstream Media. Based in the Northeast, the MSM is isolated from the Americans who live in the states so affected by this invasion from the south.

I have continually said, over the past week, that this thing could turn very ugly, very quick. Southern Americans are not given to making threats. They are, however, given to action without a moment’s notice.

Your can feel the tension in the air. If I were a National Guardsman, especially in the Southern states, I’d have my duffel bag packed and be ready to leave on a moment’s notice.

Toward the end of last week, I began to have the uneasy feeling that this thing has been allowed to go too far. The insistence on a form of “amnesty” by the Senate, and the President, coupled with a flat out failure of law enforcement and our immigration officials has led us to the edge of an abyss which could easily end in violence. The illegals waving a foreign flag in the face of a nation, which has bent over backwards to accommodate them, has become the proverbial “straw, which broke the camel’s back”.

Americans are angry now. Not just angry, more like MAD! A powder keg has been lit!

We have a situation here, which is quickly turning into a crisis. It has been coming for a long time. No matter what you may hear in the next few days… this is not a “civil rights” matter. This is a matter of law and law enforcement. We haven’t had much of either in the past few years and it has brought us to this precipice.
