Invite Hillary to Border

Minutement Project founder James Gilchrist told Sean Hannity, "We're thinking of inviting Hillary Clinton" to the Arizona-Mexico border to review their operation. He should do it. If Hillary receives an invitation and refuses to go, she would appear to be softer on illegal immigration than she claims. Gilchrist could then turn around and invite a few GOP influentials (perhaps Giuliani) who are willing to check out the Minutemen project. If Giuliani then chose to attend, he instantly gets a leg up on Hillary on the issue of immigration for a 2006 Senate Run or 2008 Presidential run. Ultimately, Hillary would have to issue a statement of support for the project or at least call additional attention to the illegal immigrant problem. If Hillary accepts the invitation, it brings great attention to the project and forces the Republicans to respond in kind.

So Gilchrist should invite Hillary to the border now and watch politicians begin to pay attention.
