Since the government won’t do it, the people will.

AP reports: “Organizers of a project that uses civilian volunteers to watch for illegal immigrants and smugglers along the Arizona-Mexico border want to expand their efforts to other border states this fall.”

Participants in the Minuteman Project have been patrolling a stretch of the southeastern Arizona border since earlier this month, but they would like to organize patrols in other high-traffic smuggling areas.

“Angela Kelley, deputy director of the pro-immigrant National Immigration Forum in Washington, doubts that the Minuteman Project will result in lasting change.”

Sounds like wishful thinking. Thanks to the Minutemen for forcing this issue onto the national stage.

Americans have been crying out for immigration reform for years, but the government has done nothing. Maybe, now, they will.
