Thanks to the New York Times for publishing its lead editorial on April 11, “A West Too Wild,” about the Minuteman Project. You can’t buy publicity like that!

Of course, the editorial was a typically distorted piece of garbage claiming that “a few dozen gunslingers” and “vigilantes” pose a great danger to “themselves and others.”

The reality: several hundred Minuteman volunteers have been on the border for 12 days without incident.

The NYT editorial smacks of panic by one of the most vocal of the open borders supporters.

With all the momentum on the side of immigration reduction, that the NYT continues to flail away with the same tiresome arguments shows a frightening inability to deal with fact.

The NYT, with its great liberal bias, simply does not understand immigration.

Note that it recommends that the Minutemen “put their guns away” and look for help where it really can be found…“in Washington.”

You have to laugh out loud at that line.

Two decades of being ignored by Washington is exactly the reason the Minutemen are on the southwest border.
