Sometimes I wish that this was a one-day story, that Henry Cuellar
really wasn't this bad.
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.
