Rep. Cuellar Seeks to Deputize Minutemen
The immigration problem that faces this country is a lot more complex than some are willing to admit. However, Democrat-only-in-name Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Laredo, Tex.) is teaming up with raging right-wing representative Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton, Colo.) to “deputize the minutemen militia by giving them new titles, badges and guns.”
U.S. Congressman Henry Cuellar — a so-called Democrat from Laredo, Texas — wants to give $100 million dollars to the Minutemen, the racist, gun-toting vigilante group.
Last October, Representative Cuellar sponsored a bill called the “Border Law Enforcement Act of 2005″ that would essentially deputize members of the Minutemen militia by giving them new titles, badges and guns.
There is a saying in Spanish,”dime con quien andas y te dire quien eres,” which basically means that you can tell a lot about a person by the company that they keep. Representative Cuellar sponsored the “Border Law Enforcement Act” with none other than the “Grand Dragon” of the anti-immigrant legislators - Rep. Tom Tancredo, Republican from Colorado. Cuellar’s bill is also part of the draconian House-passed immigration reform bill HR 4437, which, among other wrong headed ideas, would further militarize the US/Mexico border, build a Berlin-style wall all along the border, and criminalize millions of immigrants and good Samaritans.
