2. Hmmm asking for trouble...
I personally don't have an issue with the minuteman project. I know many people seem to be against it, but I don't care if people wish to stand at the border and call in people crossing illegally. However, I don't like the idea of these people being armed. Not because I think the group as a whole would go out killing people as they cross, but because I fear that some idiot will get drunk and end up picking people off for sport. Which would of course end up making the whole project look bad.

What's your guy's opinion on this minutemen(unarmed observers)? Against it? For it? Indifferent? And of course what is your reasoning behind your thoughts.

As I said above, I am for it until the border patrol is beefed up so it can do its job more effectively. Although I suspect many people do not wish for the border patrol to be more effective(on both sides of the political spectrum)
