Is this a positive sign? No amnesty but securing the borders is the way to go. I'll believe it when I see it but thanks to the Minutemen things are happening. Don't fail to notice though, this is a US Senator admitting the border is too dangerous for civilians. Whose fault is that Senator?
"I would hope that everybody who is concerned about the porous nature of our borders would allow the federal government to act," Cornyn told 1200 WOAI news this morning.
U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) today urged the civilian "Minuteman" border patrol organization not to begin operation along the Texas-Mexico border in October as planned, expressing concern that the group's activities could do more harm than good.
Cornyn said he is preparing to introduce a comprehensive immigration control measure along with Senator John Kyl (R-Arizona) next month. He said he hopes many of the measure included in that bill will address the concerns the Minutemen have been raising.
Cornyn stressed that his proposal, which is expected to reach President Bush's desk by the end of the year, will not include an amnesty for people already in this country illegally.
"What I worry about is if civilians step in, there will be an unexpected conflict, there will be some incident where somebody could get hurt."
He cited the danger posed by drug traffickers, traffickers in illegal immigrants, and violent syndicates like the MS-13 organization.
