To Whom it May Concern [directed at NBC]:
It has been brought to my attention that the Nov. 16 [2005] episode of one of my favorite series includes suspecting a citizen's border patrol group of killing a smuggler of illegal aliens. [Episode description below]
Do you have one substantiated incident of anyone associated with a citizens' border patrol group harming, let alone killing, an illegal alien? Please don't aid the pro-illegal alien faction by putting such a negative story on your fine show. If there had been such an incident, I'm sure it would have made the headlines of the newspapers and been the lead story on the TV news programs.
My husband has been with the Minutemen since April 1, spending all of April on the Arizona-Mexico border, three weeks between July and August at the California-Mexico border and four and five days at a time at various times since then.
Regardless of how the pro-illegal-alien sympathizers try to depict the Minutemen as the bad guys, they are there to protect this country from the invasion of illegal aliens who negatively impact the schools, hospitals and economy of this country in addition to disproportionately occupying our jails.
The Border Patrol agents appreciate what the Minutemen are doing. There are just not enough Border Patrol agents, and the civilian border patrol groups help them do their job.
