Minuteman says border deserves sway over ports
In an earlier posting on the Portgate kerfluffle, the Chief noted the dubious (at best) policy of the administration on the land borders – which has continued for years with scarcely a word of Congressional concern, except for CO Rep. Tom Tancredo and a few others.
The Minuteman group agrees:
The president of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps has accused Congress of “grandstanding” on the issue of security at U.S. ports, saying that for decades it has allowed “free passage” of drugs, illegal aliens and criminal cartels across the U.S.-Mexico border.
“I have watched in disgust as grandstanding politicians who have for decades allowed international criminal cartels free passage of drugs, weapons and human chattel across our borders now rush to the microphones in the name of national security to decry government contracts with an Arab-owned and Mideast-based corporation to operationally manage several U.S. shipping ports,” said MCDC President Chris Simcox.
The Chief concurs.
