Minutemen’s Media Victory

Last night I was a guest on the Mark Edwards “Wake Up America” radio program.

Edwards has just returned from three days in Arizona where he observed the Minuteman Project up close.

“It is a huge success,” said Edwards. “I saw volunteers all the way from New York. In more than forty years of covering the news, I have never so much media. I met reporters from Tokyo and Britain. It reminded me of the Marvin Hagler-Thomas Hearns fight in Caesar’s Palace many years ago.”

Continued Edwards, “Spirits are so high that many of the volunteers from Texas and California are considering starting their own versions of citizen volunteer patrols.”

“And,”
added Edwards, “No matter what you hear the Border Patrol is happy the Minuteman Project is there. Within the last three months, 65,000 aliens were apprehended in the Naco sector alone. Those agents are glad for the publicity.”

Read this Los Angeles Times story by David Kelly titled “Border Watchers Capture Their Prey—the Media” [April 5, 2005] to understand what Edwards is talking about.
