Border Watch Volunteer Dismissed After Having Photo Taken With Migrant

By ARTHUR H. ROTSTEIN Associated Press Writer
The Associated Press

TUCSON, Ariz. Apr 8, 2005 — A civilian border watch group dismissed a volunteer who had an illegal immigrant pose for a mocking photograph.

Organizers of the Minuteman Project said that although authorities determined the man had not illegally detained the immigrant, he still violated the group's procedures. They added that the volunteer had given the immigrant $20 and fed him during Wednesday's encounter.

"The volunteer's actions were admirable, justified and undeniably humane," Chris Simcox, a project official, said in a news release, "but unfortunately they jeopardized our established procedures and overall purpose of passively monitoring the border."

The project, which has organized round-the-clock shifts to watch for illegal activity along a section of the southeastern Arizona border throughout April, has set a policy requiring its members to avoid any physical contact with illegal immigrants, organizers said in the release.

"Our adversaries will take even the most benign event and try to develop it into an international incident," Simcox said. "We cannot allow any digression from our established policies and procedures."

Minuteman Project volunteers have said they're trying to draw attention to the problem of illegal immigration, but law enforcement officials and advocates for illegal immigrants have said they fear the project will lead to vigilante violence.

The Minuteman Project didn't identify the volunteer, but authorities had previously identified the man in the incident as Bryan Barton of San Diego.

Authorities said Barton and two other volunteers spotted the immigrant Wednesday along a highway about 10 miles north of the Mexican border.

On its Web site, the Minuteman Project said the volunteer believed the man was in distress from lack of food and fluids and gave him cereal and milk. He then posed for a picture next to him while holding up a T-shirt and gave him $20 as a federal agent arrived to take the man into custody.

The shirt read, "Bryan Barton caught an illegal alien and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."

I take it this wasn't "Congressman" Billybob... I doubt he'd get up from his chair and be marching around... takes too much energy.

It must be a boring job. It's good they are disciplining their own.

I'm of the opinion that it is a mistake to play by the rules laid down by the opposition. Do what's right and screw'em if they don't like it. Boldly and unapologetically stand for those things that we know to be proper.

Defending the border against foreign invasion by illegal aliens is right and proper -- even if must needs be by force. I don't give a shit if the Mexican government doesn't like it. I don't give a shit if bleeding heart liberals don't like it. I don't care if drug smuggling, terrorist embracing US presidential administrations oppose it. Those enemies of freedom and liberty will never approve, no matter how carefully we script the PR and play by their stacked deck rules.
