Anyone else heard about The Minutemen's project to carry American Flags with you?  What do you think about it?

A DAY WITHOUT AMERICANS ! April 17, 2006! \n\nIn response to the recent mass national rallies fearlessly staged by the illegal alien lobby, The Dustin Inman Society is suggesting that Americans nationwide stay home from work and not spend any money on April 17. 2006 - income tax day. \n\n\nAPRIL 17, 2006 LEGAL Americans are being asked to stay home from work and not spend any money that day! Protest ILLEGAL aliens, their boycotts and marches, their taking of jobs, resources, welfare, healthcare, disobediance and defiance of American laws. Show congress that they may ignore our emails and phone calls, but we won't remain ignored! \n\nSupported by Americans for Legal Immigration \n\nhttp://alipac.us/ftopict-20151.html

If anything the minutemen are making the job of the border patrol easier. i dont think that the idea to leak information  came from the border patrol. my guess is that it came from politicians that want hispanic votes and the pressure tricked down to the border patrol.

I agree with you completely.  My brother is in the Army and he has been to Iraq and Afghanistan if anything ever happened to him I think that my family would find it an honor to have the American flag draped over his casket for all to see.  People that say its politically motivated are just ignorant.

I don't. Personally, I think that they outlived their usefulness about three decades ago. Now it seems that their sole purpose is to uphold the wants-needs of one person, while trampling on the rights of everyone else. And usually over absolutely ludicrous issues.\n\nEx.: In my area, a kid was waving around a piece of paper with the Confederate flag on it at the school lunch table. Principal came by, told him to put it away. He refused. He was suspended.\n\nWhat should have ended right there made the newspapers, because his mother raised hell and got the ACLU involved. That's just asinine, as far as I'm concerned.\n\n My mother would have raised hell, too- but with me or one of my brothers if we had pulled a stunt like that.

Its sad that the only defense those opposed to the minutemen project can come up with is foul racist claims that are simply untrue.  They stick with the media though and that helps the vast majority to distance themeselves from the minutemen.\n\n1)  Tell people the truth - they are not racist they are hispanics, blacks and rednecks that want to protect our border and have the rule of law enforced.\n\n2)  Tell them what happened in the 80's when 3 million illegal immigrants were given amnesty.  Now 20 years later 12 million are poised to get it.  Tell them no; tell them to vote against liberal Republicans and liberal Democrats that could give it up.  12 million this year means 40 million in 2025.  \n\n3)  Put up a yard sign, donate a little money, write letters to the editors and help any candidate in your area that opposes illegal immigration, that opposes amnesty, and will protect and secure our borders.

Absolutely beautiful,  you are one of the smartest people on this site.  Yes they should when you go to another country you need to respect their culture and flag.  I would not go to mexico and wave an american flag.

Because they are doing the job and making illegal immigrants go back to mexico or where they come from.  As a minuteman volunteer I'm proud of the fact that we are making the difference that the government refuses too!

The May 1, Illegal Rally was the day America woke up!\n\nThe backlash was phenomenal!  Organizations like the Minutemen, Numbers USA, Fire Coalition, Grass Fire, the Patriot, and others have grown in huge numbers and are receiving lots of donations from loyal Americans.  Did you see where the Minutemen received a multi-million dollar donation to built the fence?\n\nKeep on Going, AMERICA....the movement has begun like a ripple in a pond and will continue until it reaches the power of a tsunami!

I honor our servicemen EVERY day. I have my brother's Plebe Summer cap in my back window along with the American flag. I am a flag waver from WAY back...when it was unpopular and frowned upon...it still sickens me to remember the turbulence of the 60's. It wasn't all wonderful music. It was practically another Civil War. I love my country so much.\nTo honor our Veterans:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyI8By-a5uM

Yes!!! Just read in the newspaper this morning, they're going to have a cross-country caravan. I'll share with you something I read:\n \n"Our power is not putting a million people on the street. Our power is putting 10 million people at the voting box. Their voice is accompanied by a lot of bodies, but our voice is accompanied by even more bodies who aren't going out in the street."\n\nPeople who says they're "vigilantes" just doesn't know what Minutemen people do! Try to observe with your own eyes, not only read or hear from those unpatriotic people! They care for the welfare of their fellow US citizens and in many ways, even wakes up the Congress about immigration and border issues.

Thank you for this beautiful montage.  I can't imagine anyone not being impressed, American or not, with the images shown. The music was nice, too. \n\nI almost didn't open it, because I don't want you defining who a patriot is, especially since their definition is almost always at odds with mine. \n\nRemember, donate responsibly.

1) the upside-down american flag under the mexican flag was invented as a political ploy by minutemen to incite hatred among otherwise sensible people, it has worked.\n\n2) the grand majority of those who are protesting are children and grandchildren of immigrants, in other words u.s. citizens (like me), people who do not want to see their families torn apart so they are protesting before it becomes a law.\n\n3) there is nothing wrong with peaceful, civil protests -that is what makes this country great.  so on may 1st you can protest the protest, and no one will try to stop you\n\n4) the first illegals or aliens in this country stepped off the mayflower, under the pretense of fleeing persecution from England, and stole the land from the Native Americans. \n so don't piss on my leg and tell me its raining.

Never heard of it.  Hadn't heard about Senator Lott's statements, either.  Being a suspicious sort, I went via browser (not their link) to Senator Lott's web page and he had a good idea for border security:  drone aircraft.\n\nMind you, he also pointed out that they were just about to start manufacturing them in his home state of Mississipi, and doubtless he hopes the purchases will bolster state finances.  Even so, it's a good idea.  No matter what else happens, we need all the good border security ideas we can get.

I understand how you feel.  I am very sympathetic about the immigrants wanting to become citizens.  I believe that I would also do what ever I could to make a better life for my family.  BUT... the present protests going on, has really ticked me off, and one of the biggest reasons was seeing them waving the Mexican flag.  If they would like to become AMERICAN citizens then they shoudl all be waving the AMERICAN flag.  To me anyone that is waving the Mexican flag is saying in effect " I don't really want to give up my sovereignty to my country, I want to be a Mexican citizen with the rights here also" You just can't have it both ways.  There is nothing wrong with being proud of where you came from, but to be an American, your loyalty should be to the US
