Remember The Minutemen—Report Illegals!

By Juan Mann

As a VDARE.COM reader pointed out before Bush’s speech, he could easily show he was serious about illegal aliens—by making it easier for citizens to report them.

Citizen action works. Extraordinary efforts like the Minuteman Project and its precursors—including the California Coalition for Immigration Reform and Glenn Spencer’s heroic American Border Patrol—have transformed the once non-existent illegal immigration “debate” into a raging national firestorm.

By showing that Americans can do the jobs that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can’t or won’t do—namely, identifying and reporting illegal aliens—these “undocumented Border Patrol Agents” have gotten the attention of Congress and the President of the United States.

So don’t give up . . . ever.
