The
O'Reilly Factor - May 19
Enrique Morones: I side with Antonio Villaraigosa
and the President of the United States. The Minutemen were not
successful. They did take the law into their own hands. I was
in Arizona several times. I saw the situation with Patrick Haab.
He did detain seven people at gunpoint.
Michelle Malkin (in for O'Reilly): And no charges were
filed against him...
Patrick
Haab had nothing to do with the Minuteman Project. |

...The explosive growth has inspired
a small group of Hispanics to galvanize their new strength in
numbers by forming a League of United Latin American Citizens
council - the first in Montgomery County. A similar effort is
under way in Cleveland in Liberty County, where Hispanics are
more than 20 percent of the town population. |

Minutemen
will not put a dent in illegal immigration
The Minuteman Project might not have
slowed the flow of illegal immigrants into this country, but
the civilian border-watch group certainly gained a great deal
of publicity in April when its members camped out on the Mexican
border in Arizona. Now the Minutemen might be looking to repeat
their success in South Texas. We hope they decide to stay home
instead. |

Tijuana, BC, Mex. -- Waving AK-47 rifles,
the black-hooded force of 10 assailants barged into the hacienda-

and disappeared. -- A week later, 10 men - wearing similar black
outfits - stormed the swank Club Campestre... |

Without
more detention facilities, 'OTMs' must be released
The president of a labor organization
representing Border Patrol employees and a Texas congressman
are criticizing the House's recently passed Homeland Security
bill for failing to fund construction of new detention facilities
to hold illegal border-crossers from countries other than Mexico,
resulting in their automatic release pending a later hearing
date. |

-- even more conservative than Bush, who disapproves of the Minuteman
Project. -- The reaction from the Minuteman Project to Schwarzenegger's
words has predictably been enthusiastic. |

Illegal immigrants are creating havoc

they make their way through the desert. |

Fox
inadvertently highlights failed immigration policy
At first, I thought Mexican President
Vicente Fox was trying for some sort of laugh line when he asserted
that his country's migrant workers in the U.S. do work that "not
even blacks want to do." -- I wondered what jobs those might
be. Shining shoes? Cleaning homes? Washing dishes? Tending the
garden? |

Gov. Janet Napolitano has derailed major

When President Vicente Fox came into

The notion that the United States receives

in an attempt to minimize the problem. -- After all, the argument
goes, we receive enormous economic benefit from these "willing
workers" who fill jobs that Americans don't want. This justification
is largely a myth... |
