The KKK is a terrorist group.

So were/are the Black Panthers.

The Minutemen are the equivalent of a Neighborhood Watch, reporting suspicious activity to the proper law enforcement officials for action.

There have been no reports of criminal activity -- much less violent criminal activity -- by the Minutemen.

So why does Houston City Councilman Adrian Garcia make this utterly absurd and slanderous statment?

Garcia, a former Houston police officer, said HPD would monitor the Minutemen "as they would the KKK, as they would the Black Panthers."

So a peaceful group with a political agenda that engages in legal activities will be treated as terrorists by the city of Houston. Where is the ACLU ? Doesn't this constitute a violation of the civil liberties of the Minutemen?

By the way, Archbishop Fiorenza Councilmen Quan and Garcia, Mr. Rubio and all the rest of you folks who are speaking out in support of immigration criminals, you do not speak for the majority of Houstonians -- particularly not those in neighborhoods infested with these lawbreakers. Even the local birdcage liner fish wrapper daily newspaper, the Houston Chronicle, notes as much.

Though polling has shown Houstonians support the diversity brought by immigration, Rice University sociologist Stephen Klineberg said the city's residents are ambivalent about illegal immigration.

The day laborers the Minutemen plan to monitor are particularly unpopular in some neighborhoods. Residents and business owners complain of the crime and trash associated with the men gathering on dozens of corners across Houston. The city has tried to solve the problem by supporting the creation of day-labor centers.

In other words, the border jumpers are not welcome in Houston -- and we want you to quit using taxpayer's money to assist the immigration criminals in continuing their lawbreaking ways.
