Somehow, I predict Fox, 'A'CLU and Aztlan

will be disappointed

PHOENIX - Volunteers for an effort to patrol the Mexican border reported their first sighting of suspected illegal immigrants, resulting in 18 arrests, authorities said Sunday.
What? You mean there are really, truly illegals coming over the border?
Participants in the Minuteman Project spotted the migrants Saturday near Naco as the volunteers were surveying the border to familiarize themselves with area. When agents arrived, they apprehended 18 people, Border Patrol spokesman Andy Adame said.

"You observe them, report them and get out of the way," said Mike McGarry, a spokesman for the project, which begins Monday and is to continue for a month.

Wait a minute. I thought these "vigilantes" were there to harass or beat these "migrants." I mean, that's what Vicente Fox has been ranting about. Can you believe it, the Minuteman volunteers are actually doing what they said they would?
The volunteers reported another illegal immigrant after he wandered onto the campus of a Bible college near the community of Palominas, where about 100 Minuteman participants were staying.

The man walked in and said he needed food and water. Volunteers helped him and notified federal agents, who picked him up, McGarry said.

OMIGOD! They helped him! But but but...aren't they nothing but despicable racists? Latinophobes? Shouldn't they be kicking this man instead of feeding him?
Law enforcement officials said the volunteers were keeping the peace, despite concerns they might become confrontational with immigrants. ...

"Everything seems to be going well," said Carol Capas, a spokeswoman for the Cochise County Sheriff's Office.

I'm sure there will be quite a few Lefties crying in their light Caramel Mocha Frappuccinos tonight.

You mean Fox, as in whiny president of Mexico Fox, not the TV channel.
It's been a long week.
