TREASON?

The following articles paint a disturbing picture:

U.S. tipping Mexico to Minuteman patrols

While Minuteman civilian
patrols are keeping an eye out for illegal border crossers, the U.S. Border
Patrol is keeping an eye out for Minutemen -- and telling the Mexican
government where they are. According
to three documents on the Mexican Secretary of Foreign Relations Web site,
the U.S. Border Patrol is to notify the Mexican government as to the location
of Minutemen and other civilian border patrol groups when they participate in
apprehending illegal immigrants -- and if and when violence is used against
border crossers. A U.S. Customs and Border Protection
spokesman confirmed the notification process, describing it as a standard
procedure meant to reassure the Mexican government that migrants' rights are
being observed… |

***update from Daily Bulletin:
" Scott James, a former Tucson agent, resigned after eight years of
service in February, citing a lack of support for agents by the Department of
Homeland Security. He said that U.S. Border Patrol officials provided office
space inside their headquarters to Mexican consulate officials, allowed the
consulate to dictate the agents' activities, and gave the consulate information
on ongoing investigations. Such courtesies were not extended to consulate
offices of other countries, James said."***
It must be kept in mind that the actions above come within
the context of such statements and facts as this:
"I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican
nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders and that Mexican
migrants are an important - a very important - part of it." -- Former
Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo at the National Council of La Raza (The Race)
Soiree, Chicago on July 23, 1997.
And “a
breakaway of U.S. states is a distinct possibility, according to prominent
Chicano activist and University of California at Riverside professor Armando
Navarro. In an interview with WorldNetDaily, Navarro would not answer directly
whether he shared separatist aspirations, but said that if demographic and
social trends continue, secession is inevitable. "If in 50 years most of
our people are subordinated, powerless, exploited and impoverished, then I will
say to you that there are all kinds of possibilities for movements to develop
like the ones that we've witnessed in the last few years all over the world,
from Yugoslavia to Chechnya," Navarro said. "A secessionist movement
is not something that you can put away and say it is never going to happen in
the United States," he continued. "Time and history change." In
a 1995 speech to Chicano activists, Navarro said demographic trends are leading
to "a transfer of power" to the ethnic Mexican community in the
Southwest. He notes that most studies show that within the next 20 to 30 years
Latinos will comprise more than 50 percent of the population of California.
This fact, and other cultural and social developments, are opening the door for
"self-determination" and even "the idea of an Aztlan," he
said in his speech.” (see http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=25920

Editorialist John Derbyshire, responding
to such articles as above, raises the question of criminality:

Border Follies
[John Derbyshire]
This thing about our
govt. colluding with Narcistan — sorry, I mean Mexico — to keep the flow of
illegal immigrants coming, is the last straw. Either our govt. is
criminally incompetent, or else it is maliciously hostile to ordinary American
citizens. Or both. …
Mr. Derbyshire is indeed correct in his assessment. In a future article I hope to address the issue of whether the Roman Catholic Church is complicit in this crime.
