(Rio Grande Valley) The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps has launched a campaign to stem the flow of illegal aliens into and through South Texas. As a result, the Mexican Consulate in Brownsville sent a warning.
"The [Mexican] consulate will be alert for human rights violations or anything illegal, and would be disposed to sue the group for any trespasses."Local Texas officials have also issued a warning to the Minutemen in addition to rules of engagement.
Now, the Minutemen took that as a threat and lashed out Monday at the Mexican Government, calling it 'corrupt and heartless,' saying they don't blame Mexican nationals who are "voting with their feet" by crossing the Rio Grande. The Minutemen blame the Mexican government for the problem.
Arguably, if the Mexican government and local Texas officials were as dedicated to stopping illegal aliens as they are to policing the Minuteman Corps, there would probably be no need for the volunteers in the first place.
A rational observer would have to wonder why the groups are not all working in unison. Of course, a rational observer would mistakenly assume that the Mexican government, the Texas officials, and the Minuteman Corps are pursuing the same goal, a secure border.
