Border vigil planned for CaliforniaThis might be something worth looking into this summer....Minuteman organizer James T. Gilchrist, whose 850 volunteers shut down the flow of illegal aliens along a 23-mile section of Arizona-Mexico border last month, has joined forces with another citizens group to help organize a new border vigil in California -- beginning in August.
The Minuteman Project has reached an agreement with the Friends of the Border Patrol (FBP) to help promote a new "border watch" aimed at assisting U.S. Border Patrol agents in apprehending illegal aliens on the California border near San Diego.
FBP Chairman Andy Ramirez said more than 500 volunteers have signed up to patrol areas of the California-Mexico border in August, including former Border Patrol agents, retired police and military personnel and pilots. He said yesterday that at least 2,000 more applications from volunteers nationwide are still being reviewed.
The California vigil will kick off an effort by the Minuteman Project to link anti-illegal immigration groups nationwide and create a network of civilian volunteers along the nation's borders, said Mr. Gilchrist, who lives in Aliso Viejo, Calif. He said he also intends to target employers in the near future who knowingly hire illegal aliens.
"We did in our first 10 days what the federal government and Congress couldn't do over the past 10 years," Mr. Gilchrist said.

I still see no flaw in establishing a 50 mile clear zone south of the border. Complete razing of any settlement and infrastructure that could be used as a base. Quit handling this as an internal problem, and start handling this as a military issue.
On the other hand, STREAMLINE the naturalization process. Provide a clear cut and easily implemented program for mexico to properly identify and track migrant workers. Design a system where mexican and american immigration programs are closely integrated.
Illegal immigrants caught within the states would be used for 30 days hard labor on securing the border, and Mexico would be billed for the costs. Multiple offenders would be jailed. Within the 50 mile clear zone. In jails built by immigrants.
