U.S. tipping Mexico to Minuteman patrols

By Sara A. Carter, Staff Writer

While Minuteman civilian patrols are keeping an eye out for illegal border crossers, the U.S. Border Patrol is keeping an eye out for Minutemen -- and telling the Mexican government where they are.

According to three documents on the Mexican Secretary of Foreign Relations Web site, the U.S. Border Patrol is to notify the Mexican government as to the location of Minutemen and other civilian border patrol groups when they participate in apprehending illegal immigrants -- and if and when violence is used against border crossers.

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman confirmed the notification process, describing it as a standard procedure meant to reassure the Mexican government that migrants' rights are being observed.

"It's not a secret where the Minuteman volunteers are going to be," Mario Martinez said Monday.

"This ... simply makes two basic statements -- that we will not allow any lawlessness of any type, and that if an alien is encountered by a Minuteman or arrested by the Minuteman, then we will allow that government to interview the person."

Over at the freep they are going nuts. Their logic is astounding but here goes the quotes with my commentary - enjoy:

-U.S. tipping Mexico to Minuteman patrols (telling the Mexican government

-This is outrageous! Our government has no business telling foreign governments of U.S. citizens' movements.
so spying on our citizens didn't bother you?
-What about America's rights?
the ones you are so ready to give up to the fuhrer?

-This is the government you voted for at work.
-I am real close to losing my faith in Bush and his administration.
-Is Bush a traitor or what?

okay, I think they maybe getting it (fingers crossed)

-Geez, we need to weed out the goofy liberal traitors from the border patrol
oh, so close!

-IT'S TIME FOR A REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!
well good luck with that now that you have allowed Bush and company to completely infiltrate and track you and yours. Didn't you all want to put people in prison without trials? Aren't you for executions on the spot?

-There are several issues where BUsh has done fine and contiunues to do fine with my support. I agree with and support the actions in Afghanistan and Iraq. We are winning there and our enemies are being drawn to fly traps where they can be fought and eliminated there while we help the people there create much more stable and friendly nations towards us.
ah yes, those Iraqis and Afghanis are just lovers of all things American. We can blow up their children, destroy their country but fear not, they will be our friends.

-In general I suupport his stance on abortion.
the stance where he cuts food and shelter from children? Maybe the stance where he has actually increased funding for abortion - more than any other president?

-The tax cuts have been critical to the economy and nbeed to be made permanent.
yes, can't let those corporations go hungry now can we - screw the poor.

-His ideas for social security need to be pursued.
the idea where you still pay the same but the government absorbs most of it and you get to play the stock market with what is left?

-sorry...we have troops on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan...I won't abandon them by voting for the Democrats.
well we can't have them whiny soldiers brought home can we? Must make sure they die over there.
