Hey Dar, explain that to the ex-minuteman leader that resigned, Im sure he wont agree with your statement.

Answer 1

Exactly correct. And the "minutemen" are clearly not only racist--but have anavowed agenda that is clearly criminal in intent. Freedom of association under the Constitution does not extend to membership in such organizations. These scum should be treated just as the members of any such gang (like the Crypts, etc)--because that's what they are.

Answer 2

No necessarily. If you understand the purpose that the Minutemen are trying to serve, you might not think that. The whole point of them watching the border, is to stop illegal immigration. The fact that the vast majority of people they apprehend are from Mexico, doesn't make them racist. This explained by the desire of the Mexican people to leave and find a better life in the US. Even though they are breaking the law to do so. The Minutemen are trying to prevent an existing problem from getting worse. It would be nice if the people were not forced to come here illegally, but that's not the current situation.

Answer 3

Yes you would be considered racist.
Let me ask you, Who stopped the Pilgrims and John Smith and the rest of Europe from coming over and stealing the Native American's land? And oh yeah, the terrorist that caused 9/11,they came here LEGALLY!!!! so that means The Government screwed up by not checking the terror watch list...I mean,They were already on the list, why not check it?
Also Timothy Mcvay was American as apple pie,so closing off the borders won't stop terrorism.Change the way Americans and the Government thinks and you will see the America that we can all live in peacefully.
Stop Racism

Answer 4

No, supporting them does not mean you are racist. The issue is not racism at all, the problem is people coming here illegally. I do not have a problem with anyone moving to the United States as long as it is legally. The problem is so many people are sneaking into this country illegally and they are sucking us tax payers dry. You must realize that when they come here illegally they take away jobs, not all low paying, they don't pay taxes, and they get medical for free. Tax payers here in the U.S. have to pay for these things so that the illegals can have them. There are also many living off of Welfare and other things, this is money the government does not have.

My medical coverage has gone insane, I'm paying almost $1000 a month right now. This is because people go to the hospital and get free help. The hospital needs to get that money from somewhere so they start charging more to the people that do pay. Now, if they came here legally they would be paying taxes and paying their portion of medical expenses. As for welfare, I don't believe anyone should get it here in the US unless they are a citizen.

I understand why people come here illegally. Many people just want to better their families lives, that is a good thing. I feel they just have to do it legally. As for minutemen, I do not think they are racist, although I would not doubt, like in any group, there are some racists involved.

Answer 5

Many are more worried about Arabs coming through there than Latinos. And they are coming though the border. Prayer rugs, diaries, etc. belonging to Arabs have been found near the border. You won't make these people feel guilty about protecting the border. There may be some racists but mostly there are valid reasons for stopping illegal border crossings to include drugs and criminal activity. Yes, most are innocent, but many aren't.

Answer 6

If I support minutemen I support a law abiding nation. If illegal aliens sneaking into America are innocent why are they hiding and running. They Know that they are criminals, seems you are the one who thinks they are not.

Answer 7

I have NEVER heard of a single incident reported by a REPUTABLE source that the minutemen have ever done anything remotely violent. I support the idea of them being on the border assisting our border agents yet I would never want them to take matters into their own hands. They are armed because it is dangerous. Mexican police, military, coyotes and drug dealers harm AMERICAN citizens all the time. This is reported by our liberal and open borders news agencies.

I want our border to be secure - it is insane to have this flood of uneducated, low income, social service, school utilizing, hospital bankrupting people continue to come across the border at will.

I am not racist. I am of middle eastern decent and you don't know what racism is until you walk in my shoes. But my family came here legally and NEVER ONCE used any public assistance.

Answer 8

The Minutemen are doing the job America's government is unwilling to do. I'm proud of them for their work. And anyone who calls them racist, like you did, is doing nothing more than exposing his own racism and hatred.

Answer 9

Supporting illegals makes you a criminal. Isn't it funny if people can't illegally enter a country and make demands they yell racism. Let them try it in their own country. Why is it they only have back bone in a country they want to take advantage of?
More minutemen, more border guards.

Answer 10

Minutemen are criminals? The ILLEGALS are the criminals! hence the word 'illegal'

The Minutemen are just doing what the government refuses to do. Secure the borders.

Answer 11

Yes the minutemen are american jerks.The same as La Raza is a bunch of jerks taking advantage of their own peoples vulnerabilities and exploiting them.I don't like either group.
