A Napa resident who has patrolled the California-Mexico border as part of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps gave a talk to a mostly supportive crowd of Republican Party members this week, describing his experience on the frontier and explaining how he became so active on an issue that is spurring debate around the country.

John Clark, 37, said when he visited the border, he saw "coyotes" smuggling people, criminals smuggling drugs and even armed bandits on all-terrain vehicles who prey on immigrants. He said that with the chaos, U.S. Border Patrol agents are happy to have the Minutemen on the scene.

"It looks like the wild west out there," he said. "It's crazy."

Clark gave his talk to about 50 members of the Napa Valley Republican Women Based on their comments, the audience agreed with Clark that illegal immigration is undermining the quality of life in the United States....

You'll never hear these deputy dawgs of the current economic slump calling for the arrest of the desperados of the employing class. Naw...it's more fun to hunt desperate workers and claim hero status amongst the tut-tutting, law 'n order conservative enclave. One wonders where guys like this get the time to pursue their police fantasies. I mean, is he taking vacation from his place of employment or is he just independently wealthy or perhaps merely another authoritarian petit bourgeois patriot. In any event, people like John (even though he may speak Spanish and be married to a Chilean woman who encourages him in his Wild West dreams) won't be happy until they've created their nice, nationalistic police State.
