This editorial contains a lot of details about what life must be like for those citizens who live at the border that I just hadn't thought about. Big shock, of course, that the MSM isn't painting that particular picture.
It used to be that one or two would ask a local resident for water and a sandwich, and, once fed, be on their way with a polite "Gracias, Señorita." The new breed now comes in groups of 50. They demand to be driven to their pickup spot, and if you refuse they flip you off. Sometimes they poison barking ranch dogs or cut their throats to quiet them. How long do you suppose such outrages would go on in Fairfield, Conn.? Or Greenwich? It'd be a day and a half before some kumbaya-liberal flipped sides and founded the Merritt Parkway Minutemen. Or the BlackBerry Brigade.
Somehow, I have a hard time picturing a gun-hating Connecticut leftie looking hard and mean enough to scare off an illegal. "Turn back now or I'll call you a politically-incorrect name!" But I guess they'd just call the cops and then insist the cops not arrest the illegal too roughly.

Great piece.
I'd heard of talk that some Mexican Violent Narco-gang had originally threatened to attack the Minutemen when they first announced that they were going to be watching the border. Of course, nothing came of that, but you can also understand why many of the Minutemen were armed.
Thanks again to the MSM for using anything even approaching factual reporting or even a little perspective. God knows that would interfere with their open doors policy to everyone and anyone. It's easy to have such a policy when it has no effect on your life at all.
