A Minuteman's Experience

Haskell Hart wrote an interesting editorial this weekend that discusses his experience as a Minuteman volunteer.
A common misconception about illegal aliens is that they are all peasants looking for work to support their families. Not so. Most of the 335 apprehensions resulting from reports by the Minutemen were of drug smugglers, men in their late teens to early 20s dressed in black and wearing cut-out black stocking caps.

It's no wonder that Arizona has the nation's highest per capita auto theft rate. The crime is just one reason that many Arizona residents are more than welcoming to the Minuteman volunteers for their work. I think we all owe them a debt of gratitude.
