HOT OFF THE SHOW: Minutemen at the Border

A strong advocate for national sovereignty, Tom DeWeese passionately spoke about the issue of illegal immigration on the show today. And there's lots to talk about. Something is really happening. This evening WorldNetDaily.com reported that The Minuteman Project in Arizona said they are going to expand its operations in four states putting pressure on employers of illegals. Having started the month with 1500 volunteers, they have been flooded with calls and emails with 15,000 saying they want to volunteer in the "Civilian Homeland Defense," as it is called. The plans are to return in October and cover the entire southern border of the United States. Their demands? "Close down the borders. Return respect to the United States of America as a nation. Make sure that the world stops laughing at us as we undergo a nightly unarmed invasion from Mexico." Gary Deacon told WND that they are simply following President Bush's exhortation in his State of the Union address, when he said, "I call on all citizens to be vigilent and report any activity to the nearest authority." "We're going to keep doing it until the borders are secure," Deacon said. They are gaining the respect of the Border Patrol. Read more.
