The states that border Mexico, and the people who live in them, have less of a problem dealing with them
than the people who live inland, away from the borders, and are not having to deal with them on a daily basis.
This is a 'hotbutton' issue being pushed by racists for their activist agenda.
The 'Minutemen' are taking a name from proud American History, and the battle for independance & freedom
from Americas infancy - and mis-using the 'name' to glorify their own selfish agenda.
This country has a lot more pressing issues to contend with, than that of an alliance of neo-nazis and right wing fruitcakes.
California, Arizona, New Mexico & Texas are the only states that share the border with Mexico.
Georgia, Illinois, Tennesee, and Ohio do not. The mexico border may be the crossing point for many illegal immigrants
but the bulk of those 'Illegals' are not Mexican - they come from Central and South America,
or even countries in Asia where the people smuggling trade uses our border situation to bring them accross.
Why punish Americans of Mexican decent, and their families that live here because of the policies that are in place?
Beating up on Mexico doesn't solve the illegal immigration problems of Vietnam, China, Brazil, Columbia, or Bulgaria.
