Minutemen in Herndon - Yeah!

In the Washington Post today is an article of how the Herndon branch of the Minutemen are monitoring an informal day-laborer site (before the nice new formal one opens - at tax-payer expense!), taking pictures of the contractors vehicles and license plates who come around, in order to submit this information to the IRS. Now this is not something I thought of: that these employers don't pay any of the payroll taxes associated with regular employees. For shame!

Of course, the Post has to interview the poor illegals, to get the liberal-heart strings aquiver, about how because of the Minutemen scaring off potential employers, these guys won't eat today. Wahhhh! Who cares? These guys break the law coming here to work, also illegally, so in my mind, they take their chances. Eating isn't guaranteed.

The Minutemen are doing a job that federal & local governments and law enforcement agencies (that my tax dollars are supporting) refuse to do, and on their own dime. I say, keep up the good work, guys!
