"This morning, the 38-year-old Everett woman will don a yellow armband, load up a cell phone, a two-way radio and binoculars, and stand watch on the border with Canada, looking for anyone trying to sneak into this country.
"I will be there to bring attention to Americans that our borders are wide open and we need to secure them," said Forde, the media director and organizer of the Washington chapter of the Minuteman Project.
She won't be alone in looking. She said several hundred members from Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho will take part in the operation scheduled to run through October. The goal is to provide 24-hour surveillance at up to 15 outposts in Whatcom County and points east along the Washington-Canada border.
This operation marks the one-year anniversary of Minuteman activities in Whatcom County."
What do you think?

Bill W, I'm totally ok with that. There could be coffee handed across the border between Canadian and US Minutemen volunteers. Cooperation is a great thing.

chui, actually, as the article mentions, the members of the Minutemen have to go through a background check in part to assure that they are NOT connected with hate groups.

Jackie, they report all who cross. Then the border patrol can determine who is who.

I have some relatives living in Everett Wa. Lived & worked there for a while myself.
Now lets hear the criminal element supporters whine about how "discriminatory" & "racist" the Minutemen & Women are.
I am sending a clear message to illegal immigrants in my area of influence that they are not welcome while I am around. I have many enemies but thats the price of freedom.

you're at a loss for words, Adam, so permit me clarify this multiple passport thingi in extra element. oftentimes conversing, a citizen of a rustic does consistently would desire to pass into and to go out his u . s . a . of citizenship with the ideal passport, figuring out him as a citizen of that u . s . a .. So once you're a citizen of u . s . a . A and u . s . a . B, you bypass away u . s . a . A with passport A, then, once you get to the border of u . s . a . B, you pull out passport B. once you bypass away u . s . a . B lower back, you lower back instruct passport B, and in case then you definately return to the border of u . s . a . A, you pull passport A out lower back. Now, in case of u . s . a . and Canada we've an unusual constellation: the united states would not know multiple citizenship, yet Canada does or maybe encourages it. What meaning is that as a citizen of the rustic and Canada, you may completely return and forth alongside with your US passport purely, the two techniques. If the Canadian border patrol asks you, you may desire to "perceive" your self as a Canadian citizen, yet you're actually not required to have a valid Canadian passport in case you have yet another valid one, for this reason from the U. S.. this would not artwork any incorrect way around nevertheless.

Our border fences should have been started years ago, instead as usual it takes a bit#h slap before our gov. does anything about anything. They always wait until it is too late or there are catastrophic consequences. Is this America when average citizens must do military and police work to defend this nation only to be called vigilantes because you blow a whistle and point out invaders breaking federal laws? Thousands of invaders can sneak by our federal agencies into this country illegally but if an American citizen lifts a finger to stop it America is on the ready to prosecute. It's coming to a time of civil unrest.

Now, we need Canadian minutemen to prevent illegal immigrants from the US, and I guarantee there will be nobody getting through either way.

We should also recruite the KKK to help out and all the Black power group to help as well. Maybe we can use this illegal immigration to being the whites and blacks together for once.. You know that they will need supervision but hell man, the INS and the boarder petrol are doing alousy job.
