I lurk on several lists indirectly associated with the Minutemen. There is a lot of hatred, a lot of talk about Mexican scum. Now, I know next to nothing about San Diego, but the thing I was wondering reading this was whether all of the homeless in this camp were in fact Mexican. I do know that there are plenty of homeless in Albuquerque who are both brown and US citizens....
This gets back to my concern about having the Vermont National Guard (for example) on the border -- what if you get some nineteen-year-old Guardsman who thinks all brown people are Mexican stopping people for their papers around oh Lordsburg say? You'd be liable to have issues with the Apache real quick. This is not even getting into the issue of what will happen when we have a forest fire. Notice I said when, not if. But if our National Guard are in Iraq and we are importing Guardsmen for the border, who will handle the natural disasters? >This is why vigilantism needs to stop.
