Answer 1

That shirt speaks volumes. What it doesn't tell us is that minutemen are not patriots. They are wannabes who prance around in camo with guns hunting an enemy that is not there. They are not a solution.

As one who has protected our border under the colors of law I can state without reservation that minutemen are a problem, not a solution to anything. Let the Border Patrol and INS guard our border(s). If they need help, they will ask for it from the local authorities or the National Guard.

Minutemen want to play soldier-boy in the relative safety of our own backyard and bully an unarmed minority whose only crime is trying to survive. A couple of years ago some of their ilk beat-up and took shoes, water (and allegedly $300) from some illegal immigrants in the misguided attempt to 'protect some body's ranch.' They were sued in Texas District Court and the illegal immigrants were awarded in excess of two million American dollars.

The court stated that the message that they wanted to send out was this:

"WE DO NOT NEED NOR WANT YOUR KIND GUARDING OUR BORDER..."

When minutemen come face-to-face with real drug runners or DEA Agents armed to the teeth, they will play a different tune. If they are so serious about protecting our nation, why don't they join a fighting corp and go to Iraq or Afghanistan?

Answer 2

Apparently you are clueless as to what it is like living in a border state like Arizona, Texas, California. Live here in Arizona (or any other border state) and then you might change your opinion of the great job the Minutemen are doing.

Answer 3

Waaa waaa… she called anglo men with guns and no badges racist. Why…just because they illegally arrest anyone that looks Hispanic. I think she is wrong. They are vigilante racists. Solution, send back any European that did not receive permission from the Native Americans to be here. That will teach those illegal Europeans.

Answer 4
