Warning!!! Just A What If Thread!!! Warning!!!

What If SHTF in April say with the Minutemen and Mexican Nationalist/Coyotes/Mexican Imigrants (take your pick) could we see it escalating into a full blown Border War?? The Media would be all over it.  Promoting their Racist accusations and reporting how all of White Southerners are Fascist. Would it be the Citizens of AZ, NM, And TX -vs- Mexico and the US.  Or maybe the U.N. sending peacekeeping Troops to AZ, NM, even Texas because we are streached to thin to handle it ourselves???  Would President Bush stand with our brothers in the SW or send in the JBT (ala...Clintonistas) to silence them?  Wow,  And just think I donated $2500 to his re-election campagne. Grassroots Patriot that iI am.  Never thought I'd question his judgement

Just a thought???

If we actually had an all out war, I could see only sending certain groups of troops without hispanic ties.

A significant portion of our troops are either first-generation Americans or are in President Bush's

naturalization program in the U.S. Army. Furthermore, if we actually had an all-out war, we might finally

solve the problem with Mexican immigration... for a while.

You could argue that the Indians should have kicked our asses off the continent.  But they didn't.  So we're here now.  I was born here; I'm a native American.  I don't owe any ancestor of an aboriginal or slave anything, because I had nothing to do with that.

I have been to the border of Texas and spoken with ranchers down there myself. Most of you have no idea how undefended most of our border is. There are hundreds of miles with no one whatching it. There is an area near El Paso, where there are Semis driving across the river and getting on Interstate 10.

Illegals cause millions of dollars of damage to ranchs, kill livestock, cut fences(which is a felony in Texas). They use our hospitals, go to our schools for free. The Mexico is encouraging it is due to the fact that most of the money made here is sent back to their families in Mexico. Mexico would loose a good portion of its money if we really closed the borders.

Yes, we are at war on the border but guess what? We already lost...

I agree with you, the indians should have kicked us out, but couldn't, survival of the fittest I guess, sad but true. But the fact of the matter is that we are all decended from immigrants who came here from somewhere else, mostly before there was any regulation of it. Now I'm not saying mexicans should be able to come in and set themselves on welfare, my ancesters didn't get welfare when they came here in the 1600's, they had to bust their ass, but the mexicans should be able to come here without us telling them "america is full."

I don't think native americans as in Indians where the first in this country. They may have been the first to setup camp and claim it but hell Indians weren't what you would call united many tribes would have had no problem watching the others die off, so the whole well you ain't native american crap is bs since native americans went to war with outher native americans over this land.

Except the mexicans can come here without us telling them it is full. it is called legal immigration. I just got done reading some of the stories of folks who have been harassed by illegals and I tell ya, those fuckers should be shot. Hell, I live in Alabama. You would think that we would be safe from illegals here. Wrong. The city I moved from Albertville, AL has a legal population of about 20000-30000 people. The illegals easily count for half that many.

You are correct actaully the native americans came from elsewhere and there is evidence that the may have in fact killed off a previous people to take over, I was just using them to try to show that there was a time when we were the new guys and the person there first wanted to keep them out.

Hard to believe that is the best thing you can find to worry about.  

Our military stretched too thin?  Are you serious?  If so, then you obviously don't know a thing about our capabilities.  

Any war with Mexico would be short, decisive, and in our favor.  Even with the Chinese, and the Russians backing them.  


Now, the immigration, (legal and illegal) is a real and legitimate threat.  Worry about it, post about it, but adding in the shooting war fantasies only waters down your credibility.

My God. DO you have any idea of what you speak of? Do you know what it's like to deal with a huge illegal population on a daily basis? Have you seen the destruction they cause just hiking over the border? Have you ever seen the accidents, security costs, health care costs attributed to illegal immigration? Do you have any clue?

Do you have any idea what qualifications "The Minuteman Project" supporters have? How about "Ranch Rescue" members? I support stemming the flow of illegal immigration traffic. If I were not otherwise engaged, I'd be there myself standing watch with a rifle.

I know of one man who has more qualifications than I (outside of strictly LE) who is personally on patrol down there. He is part of a multi-jurisdictional task force interdiction team and they are way under funded and under manned. This guy is an Army reserve E-8, Military Policemen, 1st SGT of an MP battalion full time, a part time Mesa, AZ PD officer and is working with DEA, ICE, AZ DPS and the US Army National Guard and patrols the border nearly every day. He is a really good friend of mine.

I am a former 11B, ABN, Air Assault qual'd, former 1st 75th Ranger batt and spent some time south of the border working for Uncle Sam. No offense, but I have some experience wrapping up bad guys and don't have an issue dropping the hammer.

If our government fails to deal with an issue, citizens have often stepped in to complete the task. This has been the case throughout history. Remember reading about citizens patrolling the California coast to protect against an attack from the Japanese? Oh yeah, the government even issued rifles to them.

The fat assed wannabes from America would drive around in pickups, as would the fat assed wannabes from Mexico, and they would both ineptly attempt to kill each other.  In the meantime, the Feds would attempt to arrest as many people as possible while the druggies and the Mexican Army (same thing) would attempt to kill as many people as possible.

Meanwhile, the press on both sides would shriek loudly and hysterically, never actually reporting a single fact, while normal people on both sides of the border would tune in and laugh at the circus.

The whole thing would peter out when the wannabes realize that the desert gets fucking hot in the summer and lumber, gasping for breath, for home, leaving only the druggies, illegals, and feds on the border, which is pretty much status quo.

This charming fellow from Stormfront is a member of the Minuteman Project:




I'm a volunteer for this project and believe me I understand your thinking. What I'm thinking is- This is a group not affiliated with "Hate Groups" (like the one you and I belong to) it is actively recruiting law enforcement and ex-military and Hispanic Americans. In other words they might "play well" on TV. To me it's not about how many Mexicans we temporarily inconvienience at the border, it's about putting yet another group of ordinary citizens on the border to do a job the government should be doing thereby providing embarrassment to said government and publicity of the problem to the masses. In addition I've noticed that most volunteers for this mission are not revolutionary thinkers. They know their government's falling down on the job but they don't know exactly why. They smell the smoke and know there's a fire that needs putting out. I'll be there telling them where the fire really is, who started it and why. This is a good oppurtunity to reach out to people who are "half awake" and help them the rest of the way.
I don't hide who I am from these people, I recieve confrontational mail from some which I answer politely and patiently, I don't let myself be baited. I'm educating them and I'm putting a (hopefully) positive face on what they've been taught to fear as *GASP* RACIST. They actually retreat in fear from the word racist but they know if it were a bunch of Scandinavians coming over the border they wouldn't care. I am a missionary for racism and I see fertile recruiting ground!



Apparently this behavior is tolerated within the Minuteman Project.

I sent an e-mail, supporting the Minuteman Project, to the President at the White House. For some reason, I didn't receive the standard courtesy response. My e-mails to my Senators also bounce back. Somehow, I think I made somebody's list.

I suppose that informing the government that I considered the bill of rights to be non-negotiable and pointing out that our government is not supposed to have greater firepower than it's citizens may have gotten some unfavorable attention.
