Supervisors at the Border Patrol's Tucson sector office did not support the project, saying it disrupted operations, unnecessarily tripped sensors and had little or no impact on the flow of illegal aliens.

Except for the documented increase in apprehensions followed by a decrease in sightings of illegals along that area.

Gross explained that on March 23, when asked by a reporter about his view of people "hunting" migrants along the border, Bush simply said he was opposed to "vigilantes in the United States of America."
Bush later added: "I'm for enforcing the law in a rational way; that's why you have a Border Patrol and they ought to be in charge of enforcing the border."

Oh ya, those aren't loaded statements. Who is "hunting" immigrants? Hell, I don't want that either.
I believe we've addressed the word "vigilantes".
The Border Patrol is in charge of enforcement. No one is denying that. Ordinary citizens are doing their civic duty and assisting them.
As for the racists in there: What can I say? Any large gathering is going to attract idiots and assholes.
Does that mean that all anti-war protestors were actually siding with the people there who were speaking favorably of Ossama bin Laden and Kim Jong Il?
No, it means some assholes decided it was a chance to get their message mixed in with some geniunly decent folks who were trying to do some good.
