Reporting on our own citizens!

Not too long ago I posted about the Minuteman project I questioned what would happen when the time came when one of these people had to use deadly force and the repercussions that would ensue.

This morning I received information from Cj stating that our country must report the whereabouts of these people on the borders to Mexico! This is an absurdity of the highest proportions and it is a violation of their constitutional rights to congregate as an American citizen.

CJ pointed out that 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 when violence is used against border crossers.

What bothered me more than anything else in the above statement is the fact of America, a sovereign nation and the majority of financial support for Mexico reporting the whereabouts of it own citizens, their movement and actions to another government?

This actually solves a question that has been on many individuals lips lately pertaining to the Minuteman project. The fact that illegal drug runners all have prior knowledge of the whereabouts of the Minuteman and their taking alternate routes to bring their death dealing drugs into our country. I have read some publications in Mexico and Texas where the reporters are actually using this as humor when discussing the Minuteman project and now I understand the situation completely, their government is giving them the information as to the location of the groups.

I agree with CJ and feel we all should initiate a letter or e-mail writing campaign to our elected officials telling them this is a violation and we as citizens do not agree with it. I will be posting the information needed for this later on in the day.
