This is a wireless technology users group last time I checked, but I felt Mr. Maguire's political opinionizing should not go without a response.
The INS has been woefully underfunded because there has been no political will to solve the problem of illegal immigration. So, yes of course they have been unsuccesful. The only change that has ever happened in this country has been started by small groups of motivated individuals. In the 1770's I'm sure the English Army thought the original Minutement who helped found this county where 'nuts'. I guess it just depends on who the writer is. And regarding the 'violence'...I do not recall a single episode of violence being reported, although I did hear one report yesterday of the Minutemen helping out one exhausted soul with food, water shelter and >>gasp<< kindness before handing him over to the grateful INS agents. Good luck in AZ Humprey!
