Stop The ACLU Blogburst - There By Invitation

AP report-TUCSON, Ariz. The state has rejected a complaint filed by the A-C-L-U about Minuteman patrols in southern Arizona.

Minuteman volunteers are patrolling all month on a ranch south of Three Points, looking for illegal immigrants who they can report to the Border Patrol.

The A-C-L-U complained to the state Land Department, pointing out that that some of the ranch actually is leased state land. Therefore, it argued, the volunteers are on state land without state permission.

But Deputy State Land Commissioner Richard Hubbard says the volunteers can continue their patrols without permits because they've been invited by the ranch leasing the land and agreed to do ranch work.

Rancher Pat King says she has a contract with the Minuteman group to monitor cattle, pick up trash and fix fences.

Trumped! For now...we'll have to see if the ACLU will push this any farther. I have a feeling they will fight for the "legal" rights of a border crosser over that of the rancher. It's just their style.
