because they seek to prevent persons they call "illegals" from entering lands stolen from their Mexican ancestors in the 1840s. This was in a war denounced by Illinois Congressman Abraham Lincoln, and later by former president US Grant who called it, "US aggression, pure and simple." If it was aggression then, why is it OK to ban the ancestors of the victims of that aggression from coming back to their lands?

Minutemen are racist because they attend a meeting called, "America First." This sort of excludes folk who are black and brown or yellow. Not to mention the Natives, from whom the lands were stolen in the first instance. They were called "savages" and "red skins." They were enslaved and killed. No racism there either, I suppose.

The Minutemen are racist because they say that "illegals" might also be "terrorists." Was there an effort to ban white people from Oklahoma City when Tim McVeigh wasted the federal building there?

Playing upon people's fears then blaming Arabs, "illegals," Japs, Niggers and Kikes for the alleged danger is as American as apple pie and that Old Tyme Religion. Its good 'ole American racism.

Meanwhile, the Cheney's and the billionaire exploiters they represent smirk and shake their heads in amazement that the old divide and conquer methods still work so damn well.
