Minuteman effect

Before the Minutemen had even started to patrol along the Mexico-Arizona border they'd produced results:

Suddenly, Arizona is getting 534 new Border Patrol agents. Suddenly, Arizona is getting 23 aircraft to patrol the border, to bolster the 15 here. So urgent is the need, that 155 officers are en route. "The point is, we're determined to take control of our border," Robert Bonner, the border commissioner, said.

Well, that's novel.

Bonner said Wednesday's announcement had nothing to do with the prospect of hundreds of people headed to the banks of the San Pedro River to "help" the government do what it has been unable to do.

Funny how a bunch of nuts with guns had the right idea.
