The Insanity Of An Unsecure Border

The Daily Bulletin.com was first to announce that the US Border Patrol was giving information to Mexican officials of the whereabouts of The Minutemen patrols. The US Border Patrol claims they do this to reassure the Mexican government that their illegally departing brothers and sisters right's are not being violated. How about American's right to spend their tax dollar on legal citizen's needs? How about our right to be protected from a foreign invasion? How about our right not to have an isalmic terrorist cross into the country? I hope there is an investagation to see who contacts the Mexican government and exactly what info is given and to whom. The Mexican government is so corrupt that the info will fall into the hands of criminals at some point.

"A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman confirmed the notification process, describing it as a standard procedure meant to reassure the Mexican government that migrants' rights are being observed."...
"Last year an internal memo notified all agents not to give credit to Minuteman volunteers or others who call in sightings of illegal aliens," said one agent, who spoke on the condition he not be identified. "We were told to list it as a citizen call and leave it at that. Many times, we were told not to go out to Minuteman calls."

"The mistaken tendency to believe that a democratic government, being nothing more than the composite will of its individual citizens, has no more moral power or authority than they do as individuals has adverse effects in other areas as well. It fosters civil disobedience, for example, which proceeds on the assumption that what the individual citizen considers an unjust law—even if it does not compel him to act unjustly—need not be obeyed."
A person who does not fully understand the value of life hear on Earth, but also the larger value of one's soul will take issue with capital punishment As Scalia say's
