Citizens on the borders Sat,29,2006
by Joe Castro
News editor
Illegal immigration is one of the hottest issues burning in Americans’ minds. One debate I have been hearing a lot about is the vigilante movement to protect the U.S. border along Mexico.

One group among many on the border is called the Minutemen. This group of citizens gathered in Arizona last month to patrol the border and send illegal immigrants home. This might be a great way to stop illegal immigrants from crossing into the United States.
The Border Patrol spends millions each year, using high-tech equipment and thousands of personnel to capture people. Border Patrol agents must be highly trained and fluent in Spanish before they patrol, and still thousands of people cross over.

Students probably have not heard about the incidents of abuse by groups of citizens like the Minutemen. According to the Border Action Network, there have been thousands of incidents reported about people being dragged by their hair, beaten by night sticks and even shot at during their crossings.

The Minutemen are nothing new; there are several groups that have been actively patrolling the border and committing abuses against illegal immigrants as well as Mexican American citizens. These groups have also been advocated by many neo-Nazi and hate groups.

I’ll break for a minute to say I don’t think every citizen that volunteers to patrol the border is a racist. That is like saying that every immigrant that comes to the U.S. is here to commit a violent act, traffic drugs or take advantage of our freedoms. That is not the case, but it should be questioned whether it’s a good idea that citizens armed with guns and clubs should be left to patrol border areas with the assumption that nothing bad will happen. We should also ask how these groups are handling illegals and, when captured, are these groups accountable for human rights violations?

I think these groups are not accountable for abuses and need to be stopped or heavily regulated. I am not saying to do nothing about the illegal immigration problem. Instead of building walls or pouring money into the ineffective Border Patrol, we should look at improving identification programs and opportunities for workers to have some legal status, which is being done, but has flaws.

For those who complain that illegal immigrants are abusing health care programs and Social Security, remember that these people do pay taxes. In fact, according to an article in the New York Times, illegal immigrants paid roughly $7 billion to Social Security last year and $1.5 billion to Medicare.

Hand it to the Americans to want to do what the government is failing to do, but nothing good can come from allowing angry people to wander the desert hunting for Mexicans.

In round 1 the Bangles beat out the Go-Gos and Blondie beat out Pat Benatar.

I'm going with the Bangles. Susanna Hoffs is cuter than Ms. Harry and I like the music better.

i have a feeling they are. last night i sent about 20 texts to a friend around 12-1AM and i went and checked my account online and it tells me my recent calls and texts. Everything's updated, like my recent calls, but my texts say the last time they were used were at 5:25PM which is right. I didn't text anyone after that time until 9PM.

Yes, flannel shirts like what everyone wore in the 90's. I figured since the 80's are coming back I might as well get a headstart on the 90's. I miss that lumberjack look.

My teachers tell me that my technique is good but that I lack confidence. They tell me to be more sassy when I dance. What does that mean? How do you show confidence even when you're not that confident? I love to dance and I like to work hard at it but sometimes I just feel that I don't get it and it's frustrating and makes me feel less confident. I do clogging, Irish, folk dance... and these require a lot of stomping and making noise. I'm scared to have people hear the noises that my shoes make. Please help!

If you meet yourself, so that you can see yourself from outside of yourself, and you see what it is, can you love yourself beyond that?
