Report reasons behind Minutemen

Now that Scott North and The Herald have thoroughly convinced us (again) that Shawna Forde is a criminal fraudster (and she is), another story — just as splashy, just as big — needs to be done about the underlying reason for the whole Minutemen movement: illegal immigration, drug trafficking amd the abysmal lack of enforcement over the years on the part of federal, state and local authorities.

All the possible reasons for such lack of enforcement- apathy, lack of funding/manpower, political correctness, vote-getting for political interests, fear of being called racist (also known as lack of spine) and any others — need to be explored and exposed. The recent story about the drug bust in Monroe and around the country was a start, but much more needs to be said and done. Illegal immigration and drug trafficking are closely tied, and these criminals need to be exposed and expelled. Those of any race/culture/religion who are here legally but don’t want to assimilate should also be shown the door. They need to adjust to American culture and core values, not America to theirs. At least the values America used to have.
