Not everyone happy with Minuteman Project in Texas

It seems that lots of people are happy about the Minuteman Project coming to Texas, except for a few grumpy Gusses. From "Warm Welcome in Texas for Minutemen":
(GOLIAD, TEXAS) -- There was no shortage of volunteers last night as the controversial Minuteman civilian border patrol organization gathered in this historic south Texas town to organize anti illegal immigrant activities in Texas...

The location of the meeting in Goliad was significant. The city was the home of many of the volunteers who died fighting the Mexican army at the Alamo in 1836. The unit which delivered a cannon the Alamo along with a flag that carried the defiant message 'come and take it.'

..."We have met with our senators, we have sent letters to President Bush, we have gone all the way to Washington, and still no response," Parmley told 1200 WOAI's Charity McCurdy. "All we're doing is what President bush asked us to do after 9-11, to be observant citizens and look for suspicious activity and call it in. That's all we're doing."

But several civil rights leaders at the rally said the Minutemen go a lot further than that. Che Lopez compared the volunteers at last night's rally to the Ku Klux Klan.

"Just basically racially profiling people. Pulling them out of their cars. Intimidating them."...
Gosh, what an allegation. Think there's any slight chance Lopez could ever come up with proof? Think there's any slight chance the reporter could have asked him for proof? I don't know if this is the same person, but this page describes him as a leader of the Southwest Workers Union, which participated in a march calling for open borders.
...But not all Texans are excited about the presence of the Minutemen in Texas, and one of them is Senator John Cornyn...
Cornyn is involved in the pro-"North America" testimony described here, and previous coverage of him starts in Rep. John Cornyn: "It is very clear to us that there are no Mexican terrorists".

Another group of people who oppose the MMP are described in "Thinking not so welcome among Texas Democrats".

I'm beginning to see a pattern here: almost all of the people who oppose the MMP are just on the wrong side.

There may be no mexican terrorist, that is'nt the point, the point is, there raising U.S. taxes, there recieving free medical, they recieve free education.
thats the point.
Americans are supporting illegal immigrants.
I know for a fact: I know people that are dying of cancer and recieve no medical, because they have no medical Ins., but these illegal mexicans can see a Dr. for a broke toe and a clit lip and recieve help.
That is the point.
