The Minuteman Project Update.

Check out the latest statistics on the Minuteman Project's successful results:

Minuteman Project statistics for April, 2005, as of 8am April 27:

857 MinuteMan Project volunteers have completed a 4 hour training session and have spent at least one 8-hour shift in the field. Many are spending the entire month.

335 Border Patrol apprehensions have been directly facilitated by MMP volunteers observing and calling the Border Patrol.

The Minuteman Project claims a 98% reduction in border crossings in the area monitored from April 1 through April 26, 2005. See more statistics.

And these were dangerous guys? Yesterday the Minuteman Project wrapped up their month long "controversal" project that netted well over 300 hundred aprpehensions reducing the flow of illegals in one particular stretch of the Arizona and Mexico border.

"We have proven that ordinary citizens sitting in lawn chairs on the border can shut down illegal border traffic. We will not stop; we will not be deterred. We will continue to secure our borders until relieved by our military and National guard."

Now, we have the greatest faux pas of the CBS memo, NBC gaffe, and now the MSM are experiencing eggs on their faces when they portrayed the MP as a dangerous one. Hardly. As I have said earlier, this is just like a neighborhood watch program. Nothing illegal about that, either.

Check out this website called the "Civil Homeland Defense" where

The Mission of the Civil Homeland Defense Corps, headquartered in Tombstone, Arizona, is to report suspicious illegal activities to proper authorities and deter, by legal means, illegal aliens, drug traffickers and terrorists from entering the United States by physical presence along the immediate U.S. Mexicanborder. Citizen groups along the Canadian border and coastal areas are encouraged to operate with the same level of vigilance.

The Civil Homeland Defense was around before the Minuteman Project.

Civil Homeland Defense volunteers have recorded 4,112 peaceful, non-violent assists with Border Patrol and Customs agents of people illegally crossing our border with Mexico since November of 2002.

Since June 1, 2003, CHD Volunteers have made 157 Rescues of men, women and children who were provided life-saving water, first aid, blankets and food while volunteers waited for Border Patrol agents to arrive on scene to deport groups.

And why didn't the MSM and liberals scream back then? But thanks to them, the exposure to the border problem is now even more exposed.
