It's not front story news in the US for obvious reasons, but everyday there are immigrant mostly women and children being shot and murdered at the border. The minutemen are the suspected assasins, yet they're being held as heroes protecting our borders. I don't think too many people would be as supportive if they saw the gruesome results of their actions.

Most reports are on Latino news but here's a link for a local source

Why should anybody have respect for an illegal vigilante mob hanging around the Southern Borders of the USA, they have no legal rights to do what they are doing and certainly if connected to the Klan are an illegal organization.
The first line of defense in any country are the Law officers of the various branches such as the FBI & Police and the military not a bunch of red-necks.
Even alleged illegal immigrants deserve the right to be arrested and deported not execited for wanting a better life.
Some of you "Americans" should just give a thought to your family history, many of which can be traced back to the back streets and ghettos of many European cities and countryside over the last 250 years or so.

You're so special that you're the only one that knows about this. If it were true, it would make at least some page of the news somewhere.
And here is a local TV station in the area explaining that the video is fake.
http://www.10news.com/news/13923784/deta...
There are a hundred other links disproving this video.
EDIT: In the second link you posted, I find it amazing that all of the people that have been arrested for the killings were Mexican and it doesn't even hint at the possibility that someone from the U.S. crossed the border to kill anyone. On top of all that, the Mexican Gov't refused investigative help from the FBI and El Paso law enforcement.

Your own link says those are NOT the minutemen and that in fact when the video was sent to the Minutemen with a note that that was how to 'keep home depot parking lots empty' Gilchrist responded by banning them from the Minutemen.
In fact, you have to pay a $50 fee when you join the Minutemen to get a background check to show you are NOT in hate groups. Where else demands that sort of review?
I'm not a minuteman, but I support them, until they do something unsupportable.
For now they seem a force for good.

Right ....... You lost any and all credibility when you compared the Minutemen to the klan and then you confirmed that you are not able to distinguish fantacy from reality when you post those irrelevant links claiming to tie the Minutemen to muders of Women and Children.
Having spent 45 of my 46 years on this earth living within 50 miles of the Mexican Border I can tell you without a doubt who's doing the killings, their fellow mexican citizens, namely the military, Federal Police and the gangs who control the border.
Now if I were on drugs and believed anything you posted as being true there is a brilliantly simply solution to ending these killings........ Don't try sneaking acrosss our damn border.

The Minutemen have not killed anyone. But, it wouldn't surprise me that men, women & children are being killed along the border. Mexican drug-runners, corrupt police and military, even the 'coyotes' who smuggle people across the border are more than likely responsable. It could also be a re-surgence of the "Highwayman" phenomena: People who pray on others for their money, food, and even to simply kill them - or worse - for 'sport.'
If the "Minutemen" were involved in any way, shape or form, it would be plastered all over the MSM, completely drowning out any other news story, even illegal immigration itself would become no more than a side-note for the rabidly left-leaning press corps. They wouldn't shut-up about it, and you know it...

Obviously, you don't have a clue of what you're talking about!!
Minutemen do not equal Klan. They are AMERICANS doing their jobs protecting the border from people ILLEGALLY entering this country!!
Minutemen do not just shoot people. If they are shot at, then naturally they will protect themselves and fire back.
If these illegals would come into the country the CORRECT and LEGAL way then there would be no need for minutemen who protect the borders.

no, abortion isn't homicide. a million) its not a human existence yet. 2) 60 million is a meaningless exaggeration. this is(arguably) what share *in historic past* on an identical time as an quite impressively super quantity... accumulating it over like seventy 5 years or something makes it extremely meaningless. 3) ability existence isn't the comparable as honestly existence.

What are you talking about? I am sorry but I have a really hard time believing the minute men are killing people. The US and the Mexican communities would not allow this to happen. I really would like to read or see actual proof before such vicious rumours start flying around like the one you just wrote.

Since as you say, most of us have not seen any news to support your claim, please provide source documentation. It's hard to expect the Yahoo! Answers community to take a position on "because Jack said so". If there is supportive documentation, I will be the first to join you on bringing murderers to justice. As much as I'm against illegal immigration, I'm against murder as well. There's a big difference between border defense and border offense.

The minutemen do not equal the KKK. You must have some evidence. You know the free press of the USA would pick up on murdering of illegal immigrants by anybody. Yet, the free press is oddly silent.
What are you doing to really address the problem of illegal immigration? I'll give you a big hint: posting on YA ain't it.
