Another Thought On The Minutemen

Posted By: J.J. Jackson* on April 6, 2005

With attempted border crossing reportedly down markedly in Arizona and with all the would be criminals either trapped in Mexico or forced to find another illegal route into the United States I wonder how the Mexican economy is fairing. Admittedly Mexico?s economy is anemic at best already but what effect are these thousands of criminals who can?t cross the border and ship back American greenbacks having? These criminals have to eat after all.

It can?t be good. But it is only a small dent our traditional subsidizing of Mexico?s economy. There are still millions of Mexican criminals here in the United States working and sending money back to Mexico. Sure the problem isn?t solved. But the concept of actually beefing up the border security is being shown to work. We now have the normal contingent of the Border Patrol, the Minutemen, some additional security sent by the President to keep a handle on things, the Mexican military patrolling its own border and warning its own citizens to find another path in to the United States or wait a month, and the ACLU hell bent on prosecuting American citizens for doing the job the government wouldn?t do previously all hovering around the border in an awesome presence.

All of this has resulted in fewer attempts at criminal activity by Mexicans at the border with Arizona. That means more people for the Mexican government to take care of. And if we can keep it up, that is the best way to decrease future immigration problems because Mexicans unable to break our laws will have to fix their own internal problems that have caused people to want to flee to the United States in order to find work.

Hey President Bush, how about it? The Bush Doctrine of promoting democracy, self reliance and stability is good enough for the middle east. Is it good enough for Mexico?
