NARRATION

10:01:39

A new Desert Storm Operation? A new Bagdad? No. A secret war. Along the US/Mexico Border.

10:00:46

this is Mexico.Come on, come*" star"this way. Any terorrist can come in here, anytime they want. And they probably are and the president knows it.

10:01:10

so who's responsable for when the terrorists attack us again: Georges W bush and the congress of the United states.America is under attack and being invade.And we re not* going to let hem go way

America is under attack. Since September 11th, this is an obsession. The territory has to be protected. Closed. Locked. This is the Minute Men self-proclaimed mission – a citizen militia ready to do anything to defend the native soil.

10:01:36

In the depths of Arizona, patriots think of themselves as the new “Law of the West” upholders. Briefing before operation. Secret… destination. Secret… timing... The Minute Men : cops, retired militaries, old strategical pro's, all professionnal gunmen.

10:01:56

Patriots? For sure, the name, the flag come from the American mythology! The Minute Men, the Revolutionary War heroes who, in 1782, kicked the English off American ground.

10:02:16

Off to war zone. For the seven thousand citizens volunteering to protect the borders, commando tactics inspired from the army special forces. Men and women coming from everywhere in the country to defend two myths : the Star Spangled Banner.... and the  power of weapons.

10:02:32

The Minute Men set up. Two men every 1000 feet. Mark’s been assigned to Post 2. A high risk one. Dry rivers are the best hideouts for illegal aliens. On the other side of the bridge : Mexico.

Mark Luttig:     Minuteman

the illegals they come sometimes 5, 10, 50, a 100. A hundred and fivty in somes cases and they may go head and just start shooting at you  they might  bring *... more high power weapons than simple hand gun: AK47, AR15 for example.

10:03:14

200 and 48 attacks last year. According to the Minute Men, this is Bagdad every day!

Tombstone, the mythical town of Gunfights at OK Corral. Right after September 11th, this is where Chris Simcox, co-founder of the Minutemen, settles. The 39 years old Californian teacher buys back the old local newspaper and launches  his crusade. His declared mission : to save America. 

10:03:43

chris simcox

Enough is enough. A public call to arms. Citizens border patrol militia now forming.   The minutemen and all citizens to volunteer for this are answering the call of the president of the United States. It's our civic duty to be vigilant, and to report suspicious activicty to the proper authorities. We took him upon his offer. He really did not think americans would take them up on their offer but we have.        We shoud be on the offensive but before we go ahter terrorists in others countries we should make sure America is safe first.and that's we're out to do.america is being invad every day.

10:04:26

Arizona has maintained the purest law when it comes to gun rights: that means you don't need to register your gun, you can wear a gun openly, and that's good, that's why I live here. I choose to live in Arizona because.. it's America. There are criminals, there's the Mexican who doesn't like me. They can easely send an assassin you know  to trying to quiet my guys but it won't do any good now, we're too big,too many people. they can kill me but they won't stop the mission, they won't stop the movement. If they want a war, they'll get one if they kill one of us. tehy will..

10:05:12

On the battlefield, extreme indoctrination. And weapons...  Rambo himself is history ! 

10:05:20

Mark Luttig:     Minuteman

GPS is always handy if you use it to trace your way back if you don't know the way around, camcorder is good to have in case they come through and you want to film it. This is the most important thing: this is the nightvision device, you see, the US army

10:05:55

chris simcox

Board patrols catches people from all other the world. It' s not just Mexico. This is about people from all other the world who know tha the United states is weak.already this year and the past year, board patrols apprehended people from 80 countries.O.T.M: others than Mexicans, picked up peolple from Irak; Iran, syria, Jordan, you know people who are on our Terror watcht list.

10:06:22

douglas Lund: Minuteman

They actually found along this border russian, tchetchen, chinese papers down in, uhm, douglas, they have actually found arabic diaries, so arabs come in the country, they found  pray rugs…

10:06:45

Right now, no war in the war zone. More like ‘The Tartars Desert.’ Not a single terrorist.. not even a single illegal alien!

10:06:54

chris simcox

When the US military is here and takes my place, then we'll go home. I have many other more important things to do.

10:07:04

A few miles away from the Minute Men, the US Border Patrol known as the official police. In the Tucson sector, 2200 agents protect 260 miles of land. Nethertheless, it is the most permeable US border.

10:07:30

US Border Patrol HQ

it keeps down like this…I can see them on the road, southside. They get way south. …We got agents on the rough in this canyon… I can hear them whispering on the radio, right now saying, I can hear them behind me, it's 2 buddies apprehended, in custody.

10:08:04

Two illegal aliens get arrested... but a dozen of them have disappeared. Most likely, they tried to get to the truck depot.                 

yeah please show me 10 26  on the vehicule*. One part of our job is to protect this border from terrorists who happens as masse effect. Our *primor group is out hereis to protect america and make sure that doesn't come accross. Her we go, see, see down there. go inside, 122..ok we

10:08:47

the truck depot. Dozen of truck dropped everywhere in the US.**

10:09:16

380,000 arrests  last year. Almost half of the illegal people have been arrested on less than 10% of the border.

10:09:48

It's definitely a game..., I mean, it's like a cat and mouse game

10:09:46

Protecting a 2000 mile border. An almost impossible mission for the 10.000 Border Patrol Officers.

10:09:55

Cochise County Detention Center. *(260 prisoners in 160 cells). All along the border, jails are overpopulated..

10:10:04

Larry Dever

Over the last approximate seven years, Cochise county has been the primary host, in terms of illegal aliens entering, through the Mexican-US border, then it declined after Sept 11th, then it began to rise again. When you figure that border patrols are able to contain about one on three peope who 've actually cross. It translate to about a million.

10:34:00

Over one billion dollars invested in the Arizona Border protection in the last 12 years. The first line of defense: wires, nothing more. Yet backed up by the newest technology.

10:10:46

Sean King

there are many cameras, they continue straight along the border. The one that, uhm, is upon the hill right here can see, both sides of this, uhm, based mountain, and that we'll have one 3-4 miles down, they continue seeing, we just haven't set up any leve

10:11:14

Sean King

This here is the border. Right after this fence here, it's just three strenghts of our way going across and maybe about three feet tall. And that continues on all they way till the end of the ocean.

10:11:29

Glenn Spencer

American border Patrol:

the american border patrol: very official name for a very private milicia. At the head of it, glenn spencer. Again a californian guy lost in themiddle of the dersert.Mathematician, technology n*

10:11:51

Glenn Spencer

Like i was saying: What we have is a terrorist system, which is the first line of defence in america here. Together with (.., that is what's reliable to spot people). This will take us 3 or 4 minutes to get through this area, this watch area. they can't see, it's a blind spot, but it runs for miles, you see, over this way. so you really walk across the border over here, then you emerge, they can't never see you, we can disappear from America's first line of defence, we will become the stealth invaders,you see, invisible!!

10:12:40

Mike King

the next terrorist attack will come from right here. (They won't be reactive government), there will be people watching and pointing things, whose fault is this, who's false with this, and after then they'll maybe do something to change this, but until then it will just be bussiness as usual. we'll be out here doing this every day every night. alot of what we do tends to embarasse them because a lot of time we get very effective, we're taking all these videos and taking credits finding these people and putting it on the internet. and it's not the agent's fault, it starts way higher. the problem is way up, way at the top of the government but not locally. these guys don't have the ressources, they don't have the technology to effectivelly guard our board, against people coming in.

glenn Spencer

We see that everywhere, in all newspapers, on television, and then the border patrols have started to be recognized, and the president, for his presidential campaign, brad about the minute men vehicle along the borders. Just about a week ago, they started to fly the predator, our plane is about 14 000 $, the Predator is about 14 Million $, let me tell you, with 14 million $ we just cover all borders with UFS? and we spot everybody. Just give us 14 Million $ and we can do everyhting. 14 million $...

...One of the reasons we're now up trying to fix airplanes is to  keep a* beacuse i have a idea they'r gonna try to figurate a way to make sure that thing doesn't work.I know who's running the boarder Patrol, who's back there. They don't want this thing to work, so that's why we have our airplanes. We're gonna some big cameras, some * and* show what should be done with their airplanes.

A part of my job is to protect these borders from the terrorists and from weapons mass effect. Our primary purpose out here is to protect America and make sure that doesn't come across. Here we go. "See you down there?" "there are 4 or 5 buddies there."

10:13:40

Over the last approximate seven years, Cochise county has been the primary host, in terms of illegal aliens entering, through the Mexican-US border, then it declined after Sept 11th, then it began to rise again. When you figure that border patrols are able to catch 1 on 3 people that actually cross, that translates into about a million.

10:14:01

Sean King (Police des Frontières)

there are many cameras, they continue straight along the border. The one that, uhm, is upon the hill right here can see, both sides of this, uhm, based mountain, and that we'll have one 3-4 miles down, they continue seeing, we just haven't set up any levels. I believe it's at all 14 miles out there.

10:15:07

This here is the border. Right after this fence here, it's just three strenghts of our way going across and maybe about three feet tall. And that continues on all they way till the end of the ocean.

10:15:09

first the U Avy then they send the Spencer and his guys pretend to be starwars sacred boarders.

10:15:16

right there see up to the left looks like there's a fence line. All right right there somebody there appears to be somebody. Well there's somebody, there's something. It's moving once in awhile so i think it's somebody.

10:10:16

Glenn Spencer

They were always saying: "What we have is a terrorist system, which is the first line of defence in the United States. Together with (.., that is what's reliable to spot people). This will take us 3 or 4 minutes to get through this area, this watch area. they can't see, it's a blind spot, but it runs for miles, you see, over this way. so you really walk across the border over here, the new emergent, they can't aven see you, you disappear from America's first line of defence, we will become the stealth invaders,you see, invisible!!

the next terrorist attack will come from right here. (They won't be reactive government), there will be people watching and pointing things, whose fault is this, who's false with this, and after then they'll maybe do something to change this, but until then, it will just be business as usual, we'll be out of here though. doing this every day, every night. thousands of agents more along the border won't change anything.A lot of what we do, It tends to embarrass them, because a lot of time we get very effective, by taking all these videos, (and taking credits for finding these people putting on the air), and this is not the agents' fault...., these guys don't have the ressources, they don't have the technology to effectively protect the borders against people getting in.

up on each Q order, the grand patrol set up the mission.

Hank Dillon

All of we can get  the aircraft over head, see if we can spot anything, or Mike's pack on the control room, if there is any traffic of the border patrol, see what they're hearing with their sensors, our best chance is probably about maybe 50/50 of actually seeing anything good. Every night is like a game of cat and mouse.the other side of the fence is in Mexico, that's one of the major jumping off points for the illegals. That van that we saw  driving off propably parked under the plumper trees right out there, while the airplane was over head. In all likely hood they will stay there till the night fall and than comme across. This is where it begins, right here or, you know, a thousand other spots just like that. Yeah, we'll check this here if they're still there this evening, and see if they all come back down here and we'll wait for the evening's guests.

Larry Dever

In any time i talk about the importance of self defence and being prepared to defend and protect yourself,* at least from insurance prospect we depend on citizen right  for a great deal to have informations in our support and in our help, we recognize we realize we cannot be everywhere at once so i encourage people to fortify their personal defences.

10:18:46

Spencer sur terrasse

Right there in the turn itsself, to the left, it's like a defense line, to the left. Right there is somebody, it appears to be somebody. Well, there is somebody, there is something, but it's moving once in a while, so I think it's somebody.

10:18:41

They are eyes and ears with the telephone. They are US-citizens, they have a right to be here. (the guy in blue: There is an old saying: an armed society is a polite society. Don't get me wrong they have to be in the right hands. You know.

10:18:39

Today operating on a field is not enough. The minutemen clearly want to pisition themselves on political seats.

10:16:00

Chris Simcox

I'm disappointed with the republican party, i'm disapointed with the democratic party, we need either to go back to following the fundamentals of the constitution first, or we need to form a third party then we'll  do that, and this country is desperately in need of a strong third party.

10:19:16

Illegal immigration is a serious challenge. And our responsibility is clear. We are going to protect the border.

M.Border escort

I've been doing this job for a while now in 10 years and never never worked with a guy who even looked like an arab. I crossed the border with chinese, salvador, japanese who even look like arabs never. Now yeah it's geting tough. We have to change pass and we have to. before we used to walk 4 or 5 hours now we walk for days.2, 3 days and nights too. the mission man who get more of us than there up to sometimes with binoculars so we have to walk for long time

10:21:03

guaprietta, last mexican stop for thousand ofpeople waking to the American dream. In the middle of the night are looking for clients. For everybody the one and only destination is Phoenix, the very first step to the promise land. 20 dollars for a five hours bus trip but only if you have documents. all around the bus station crappy hotels hide out. In anonymous rooms, five people waiting to cross, waiting for 3 days. the smuggler is the only one who decide when it's time to start.

10:21:46

i paid 1500 to go to Phoenix.sometimes they just leave us in the middle of the desert. A lot of people die. - it's very tough for us and this is scary but we have to go because here we can't make a living.- they don't give us garantee that we'll get there.All they want is money.once we get there. they try to getus there, sometimes we do but quiet often we get arrested by the police.

10:22:43

for many of the illegal people the trip will end just after crossing the boarder.Back to square one stopped at the detention center.Most of them will be send back in the next 24 hours.

10:23:10

Mario, illegal.

we could get exhausted and die in the desert…but some people die. To get here means taking all the risks.

10:23:28

4000 deads since the wall has been built 12 years ago then one victim a day. A tragey denonced by call immigration people.demonstration in the memory of wall victims. People with names people without names, never ending separates. More victims, victims.*the us mexican economic agreement. a promise of paradise for every single mexican citizen. in 12 years in stead of,* the economy grew just over one percent. in the more immigration riped**.

10:24:14

Isabel Garcia (Présidente association pro-immigration)

We as the United States of America, and by our governmental policies, have attracted, have invited Mexican migrant workers for over 100 years. We need Mexican workers, our country has been built by Mexican workers, our economy depends on the undocumented labor force and yet you know they're the * in our country yard.

10:24:40

300 miles east, elpaso, texas.a pioneer in boarder Milatarisation, a* pioneer . With 3 millions illegal a year according to time magazine. The illegal immigration *outs numbers the legal one.

10:25:12

Here starts the American dream, a dream lookingmore like a nightmare.  3am, a coffee, and then a 3 hours bus trip going to *Phoenix.

10:25:30

Carlos Marentes

 From 1942 up to 1964, 5 millions Mexican people came to the US to work here through the « Bracero Progam ». This Program was created during World War Two to answer labor force needs. So, 5 millions Mexican people, poor people,  farmers… came to work in the fields. So, we can say that this migratory flow is historical.

10:25:58

and American econony without undocumented * 80 percent of agricol workers are undocumented.

10:26:05

the guy who would collect less would make less money.*

10:26:30

P.overseer

An American guy… wouldn’t do this job. American guys around here, there is not one of them. (pause) In the pepper business, we pay cash. (pause) Sometimes, some of them would say they have IDs. But then, they don’t. When you ask for it, they don’t have Social Security, they don’t have anything. (Pause) Undocumented workers around here ? No, everything is O.K.. Well, I don’t know…

10:27:18

P.illegal worker

No, I don’t have IDs. I am going to Mexico every other month. Yeah, I have been arrested by the police. But, four times in five years, that’s not so bad.

10:27:39

El Paso center. Illegals started for 12000 agricultors a year. With or without id.

10:27:48

Carlos Marentes

 Discrimination has always been very strong, racism very active in this country. But there was a kind of tacit agreement. A kind of… O.K., undocumented workers do cross the border, they break the law but, then, we need them. So, there was a kind of tolerance.
But after September 11th, some people started to suggest… that we could be as dangerous as Al-Quaeda, as terrorists… And that’s the American goverment who is responsible for that because that’s the goverment who puts the illegal immigration issue into the terrorism, the national security logics.

10:28:43

J. illegal immigrant.

When we get back here, if there is room, that’s good. If not, we sleep outside. If there is an amnesty,then i 'd be able to get everything right, i can ask my wife and kids to come here. Life is easier here.

10:24:04

the mirage amnesty, a dream for left of undocumentad workers.

10:29:10

Carlos Marentes

No, unfortunately, amnesty proposal is not one of Bush Administration priorities. The governmment would like that undocumented workers come here, work here and then go back home. We are the undesirables… but they need us. This feeling and these politics are very hypocritical.

10:29:37

In Phoenix too, hypocrity is very commun.with ir without amnesty one million workers are crossing the border every year.since the bush administration, repression aginst them has decreased more than 50%. Welcome to leave this paradise, there are laws so what beat the system. here as any big city, epmloyment center for undocumented workers are open. M*center, a very official illegal place.

10:30:12

the city of Phoenix approves the program here but if you re onthe corner over by *Mcdonald you're not approved. You even get arrested  if they get a guy, they even arrest you. I pick up more workers everyday tohelp me to *search, help me with labor work, hard jobs. I'm a smart guy, i uesed to run 40 employees. i had who caught me, i closed* beacause i coundn't find workers for me so i just shut it down, i quit. The farmers, the plummers, electricians,the carpenters...* are now* you go to Mcdonalds, tuco Bell, it's all mexican working there, all the girls or guys and they're all illegals.

10:31:38

Manuel

It is safer here… if we work through the employment center, this is safer because they note the boss’s registration plate down and if he wouln’t pay what he is supposed to or if he wouldn’t pay at all, then the center calls the police… It happens very often that people don’t pay what they should.

10:31:08

salvador Reza

the center gets financed with the dollars they give. That's 20000 dollars a year only donations.                                                      How are you- pretty good. They pay $50 a day.- ok go to Mc donald ask him for your change back.

10:32:07

salvador Reza

 General Motors just cut 20.000 jobs. These jobs, they would be relocated… in Mexico, in Corea, in China… where labor force is cheaper. But the guy who has been working there for 20 or 25 years, all he knows is that he lost his job and that he can’t make it any more. So, he is upset and who would he blame for that ? Them ! They are globalisation victims.

10:32:47

G.W.Bush

Thank you all , please be seated. America has always been a compassioned nation that values the new comers and takes great pride ofour immigrant heritage. People on this debate must recognize that we will not be able to effectively enforce our immigration laws until we create a temparary worker program. the program that i propose would not create a automatic path to Citizenship. It would not provide for amnesty. I oppose Amnesty.

10:33:20

TV Ad.

Mr.president those are our jobs. Paid for by the coalition for the future americans workers. If immigration increased we'll have more foreign workers who work for next than nothing. Mr. President i need to make enough to feed my family. President bush says foreign make jobs than americans won't do. Mr president, i'll do that job.    back in 1986, we gave amnesty to nearly 3 millions illegals aliens.- yeah don't give jobs away again.

10:33:51

From boarder protection, minutemen move to undocumented workers at P* spot.they say no to illegal work. No to Bush's discuss amnesty. On that day, the Milicia men try to invad the M* center in. The center director calls the police. Everybody has their own rights.

10:34:30

man: You are allowing illegals to be on Americain territory.  Policier: I am allowing nothing. Talk to Immigration people.

As fot the police, the law is the same one for everybody.as for the media, there's only one, the minutemen's law.

10:34:40

Lou Dobbs

Turning now to our nation's border crisis: this rageous new proposal could make it even easier for illegal aliens to live and work in this country. ( voix off qui arrive): Indiana State law makers want to give illegal aliens there permission to drive! on Tuesday the FBI busted its second ring of criminals in 6 month who were smuggling illegal aliens to tennesse to obtain driving certificates. Why were they going to Tennessee? Because they can get the certificate there. ( fin voix off): Ho ho, well, I laugh, it's not funny.. You can either laugh or cry.

10:36:33

voix off: Agnès Gattegno

The city of Phoenix approved a program here. If you are on the corner over by Mac Donalds, you are not approved. You can be arrested if the guy on the corner arrests you. They got a pick up and the worker over here helped me. Construction,..They helped me with the labour work, and  odd jobs. I am a small guy, I used to run 40 employees. Years ago I had to closed my business. Because I could not find workers. The framers, the plumbers, the electricians, the carpenters, the concrete guys, stucco guys and now, all the mexicain guys are working. You go to Mac Donalds, you go to the Tacco bell, you are all Mexicain working in there. All girls and guys and they are illegal.

10:35:17

simcox

You know  people have always been in *victory in that sense i gues You have people standing on street corners like this all over the country, you have over abondence of cheap labor now, it's clear there are not enough jobs to support these folks, how do they support themselves when they don't find a work, what do these men do when they stand here all day and they can't find work

coaching the star bangle banner, the media again and again simcox and the minutemen play on the american reaction security

10:35:52

carmen Mercer.

I'm going to these restaurants and I see all those illegal aliens, and I'm afraid of all the diseases that are going to be transmitted to the employees, to other employees, to customers, and that's really really scary

Don’t answer them ! Whatever they say don't answer them.
If the government doesn’t react, then we would face a new witch hunt… like during the McCarthy's.

If you open up the borders. I mean, it's not gonna stop. / Go home, no work today.

Journalist/chris Simcox

when we talk to business owner, you know i can't find anybody to hire…if they find anybody they'll hire them. -I want to bring attention to the employers that are breaking the law of the US by hiring people illegally, this is part of the tax payers revolt, the problem of politicians in this country, they're bought and paid for by big business.

10:37:08

you want to know something? We got to open up the borders, to help these people to register, get some ID's, when they're actually payiing taxes, (Woman: Oh, come on!), and this is not gonna stop, they're not taking people jobs, and making them less money, this place is so big, they're not taking anybody's job! (Woman: they can't get jobs at the substandard pay that's being offered) If somebody want to work, so they can get a job, that's why we need to open up the borders.

10:37:46

eddi Basler, minuteman

now if you do tell someone you're a plummer or electrician they kind of look at you like it's not a good job and now " god bless you thank you" and now the wages are so low that it's very hard to do a job like that and support your family

10:38:04

A Man / E.Basier

Man: You tell me that in hotels when you go stay there. You tell me somebody is get a turn down the best. So why are you here bothering the people here. Basler: I'am like Gandhi in a cowboy hat    . It's bullshit what you guys are doing.Because you and I are not even from here. The only people who are from are in the Indian reservations over there. We came here and took this land. Basler: Yeah, sure, God bless you man, I apreciate your opinion, but the truth of the matter is you bet that you can hire a man over there for 6 dollars an hour and pay no medical insurances. You're mad to hire an illegal alien and pay no mediacal insurance.You are coming up here telling me You basically not allowing You are not allowing me to hire my slave labour and I can hire him for 6 bucks an hour.

eddi Basler, minuteman

The situation in France is similar as the one in America in the aspect you got a lot of immigrants that have no intention to ever assimiliting and becoming french citizens. They want to take, take, take, everything that France or United States have to offer while not ever wanting to salute our flag. I hated to see you guys get your city burned up like that. night after night of burnings.Here in America, we have a setteled mouvement. We're very well armed. I don't think that that could happen here. No looding(?). You should get a patriotic citizen nationalist mouvement, people who are nationalists of France, who love France, you should start your own minutemen type system now.

Generally political protest in the Us consists in groups much like this, couple of hundred people lobbying on behalf on much large groups, This is going to be played out on many american strret corners for the next couple of years, battle for ideology, so problaby will be fored out over 2006, congressional races in America, by 2008, presidential race.

10:41:20

radio guy

The elections tomorrow, there is 17 people on the ballot. He is representing the republicain establishment. You are the outsider, you are the bomb thrower, let me throw this situation in your arms..

10:41:30

 Jim Gilchrist

I see no difference between me and the policies of Reagan and the rock hard republicans; I am certainly republican. All the Republicans I met in the congress are supporting me. / radio guy: So, you are making the statement that the majority of the Republicans are doing what you want them to do. So what do you want them to do?/ Gilchrist: I want them to stop giving the Americain public the illusion that everything is ok. go away little girls and boy, I got everyting under control. Everything is not under control ladies and gentlemen, we know that.

10:42:12

Lou Dobbs

our next guest made this nation's border crisis a critical issue in a special congressional action held in California yesterday. Jim Gilchrist is the co founder of the Minute Men project. He ran as an independent: his campaign surpassed all expectations and Jim Gilchrist won a solid and outstanding 25 percent of the vote. He joins us tonight from Orange, California. Good to have you here. "Good to be on your program, Lou." Jim, this is an impressive show against 2 organised, established protocol parties, we'll even name them, the Democrats and the Republicans.

good t have you here- good to be on your program. -this is an impressive show against é established political party, we'll even name as the democrat and republican

10:42:51

Raul Grijalva

immigration in this country, this next election is gonna be like the gay marriage was 2 years ago is to devide, to bring fear to people, and you have members of congress here whose all career, all agenda is on an anti immigrant platform….*and on and on and on.

10:43:20

Tom Tancredo

Big business are the primary reason we can't control the borders. They wan't a continued flow of cheap labor. I think it's much the same in other countries in the world. Addiction to cheap labor that keeps many countries from actually securing their own b

After a m*political under Reagan and Bush administrations, the minutemen support found their way out.

10:43:39

Raul Grijalva

For the republicans, it divides them between their business interests and their more "Throw them all out, restrict the border!" advocates of the heaven in party, many of the Democrats are afraid of the issue. I think the american people are not asking the democrats to be republican light, they're asking the democrats to be democrats.

10:44:11

Raul Grijalva

There is a big failure on a part of the federal government, the president, congress, to do anything meaning forward an immigration reform, anything realistic, so you leave a vacuum, and this vacuum is filled by the extreme voices

looking for votes some of the democrats have joined the republicans in their fights in so called "invaders"

10:44:24

Press conference republicans.

Washington continues to view illegal immigration as a political problem to be managed rather than an invasion to be stopped. Inforcement first, no amnesty, no excuses, this time get it right. 

10:44:42

Lobbying is orchestrated by one man:from  life space 's protection and zero population grows. The conservationnist John* mmoves to entire politics. In 1979, he found fair  federation for immigration*.

10:47:44

Dan Stein

Fair does researchs, analyses, … (we do some registration of lobbyin for legal changes), we go to congress of course to change the law, we work to change public opinion, but it's to talk radio, newspapers, television, all across the country. FAIR is the leading national voice in the US. That is to say: listen!, we got to change direction, we got to bring the numbers down, and there is a whole lot of reasons why..

10:47:49

Dan Stein

I work closely with Fair, probably more with them than anybody else. They are the most high think, they are the most effective lobbying ... right here in Washington DC.

10:45:43

Max Blumenthal

these organisations are the places that provide the talking heads for the media, provides the politicians with the research, they provide their finale donation to the politicians and so thisis a big time for this organisation. Never before as the network joined 10 created and *and so mainstream.

10:46:05

Raul Grijalva

they are sophisticated, they know what they're doing, they have good financial backing, and they've a political agenda, that gets complemented with the politics here in DC, and some of the national conservative movements. So it's not a little isolated group that's up there doing sth.

10:46:22

Max Blumenthal

these are some of this donations that John Tanton has personnaly made to political candidats, so thisis the 2002, 2006 donations from J.Tanton : thoses donations goes out to at least a dozen candidats each elections.

10:46:48

Spring 2005. Fair , his campaign in favour of Alien tortilla a ten billion dollars *has closed 2000 miles boarder. 3 months later, the very influeced chairman of the Army service approuved the wall. In the shadow with the pentagone's chambers, the pro wall lead the bal.

10:47:12

Max Blumenthal

10 fingers print are on all of the boarder in Arizona to capital hill. On dec. 16th, the house of representatives vote on wall extention on a third of the boarder.

10:47:28

The public is convinced, they'll be happy to see a wall built between the US and Mexico, and see no immigrant for another 35 or 40 years.

10:47:35

the senat remains to be convincedb but fair and Tancredo  so closed to  the unbelievable victory. A wall in the country of freedom.

10:47:43

Lou Dobbs

In Washington today, the Minutemen border patrol mouvement marched on Capitol hill.

10:47:37

In Feb.2006, the minutemen went to Washinton DC, officiail servant telling the unacceptable cause only a year ago.

10:47:55

tv journalist

The president in term calls them vigilatics? Colorado congressman Tom Tancredo calls the Minute Men american heroes. And a house legislation has been proposed to establish the 21st century fence across the 2000 miles US-Mexican border. 

10:47:49

Minutemen and illegals people.

Sientase, down. Sientase. I told you. Down. Do what I say, get down. Simcock:"I wanna make sure that they take him seriously" Don't be shy guys, You be on my newspaper this week. Well, that's a night on the border."

10:48:43

A hunter on the boarder, simcox become a politician in WashingtonDC.

10:48:48

TV Journalist.

Automatically, what can be done to stamp the tide of illegals and often very dangerous crossing? This is under discussion as you know about buiding a wall?

10:48:58

simcox

Four years ago, I was against the wall, it's a shame that we have to build a wall, but with the increase especially with the crime wave that comes across the border of illegal aliens, the Mexican government has left us no choice other than to build a wall, and to militarize the borders.

10:49:16

If simcox finds the Political way to convince the nation, spencer has his own way.Strenght is the only strategy.

10:49:26

Glenn Spencer

I don't know what is going to take for the american people to wake up,I have an idea much like 9/11, it's going to take a lot of blood, in the streets, that's the usual course of events in politics, it takes a lot of blood to make a difference. Blood speaks louder than words.

10:50:02

On the other side of the boarder, nights after nights, the trip starts for the undocumented workers, the very risky trip. The trip to the unlikely dream, to New America. The america sitting to the right of Bush.

Illegal man.

Last time, we walked for 4 nights, 4 nights we walked before getting into the car, we've been walking at nights. When we get to the car, we still have 6 hours to get to Phoenix.The craziest hours but who know if we get there,if god helps us. woman:I am scared but I have to go… God helps us…
