Border vigilantes turn eyes toward Texas

[NoPasaran]

With the Lone Star flag flying and a pistol and knife on his belt, a Houstonian, who gave his name as Bill Breaux, stood on top of his pickup and stared through binoculars at the mountainous Arizona-Mexico border.

He was looking for migrants trying to sneak into the United States. But on this sunny day, there was not much action.

"I think I saw some little guy's head earlier, but then he ducked into the bushes," said Breaux, 48, a resident of Houston's north side, who declined to say where he works.

Breaux was proudly manning Base 4 of a monthlong volunteer border patrol they call the Minutemen Project.

Bill! You're just supposed to report the illegal aliens---not swallow them whole!

1. my fuckin' god...

somebody give that guy his remote and beer back. i can't wait to see what that houstonian megalith is doing when the temps reach 105F.

2. What you said.

He'll keel over from a heatstroke soon. No way can he give chase on foot. He could possibly smother someone if he fell on top of them.

edit: This has got to be included in the freeper hall of shame photo collection. Photoshoppers, please do with it as you will! We will eagerly await your efforts.

3. Sheesh! You can tell from his pose that in his own mind he

cuts a heroic figure, standing there in the back of his pickup, guarding the Fatherland, er, Homeland.

4. Anybody notice the obvious contradiction in this story?

"Breaux was proudly manning Base 4..."

but earlier...

"...said Breaux, 48, a resident of Houston's north side, who declined to say where he works."

If he is so proud of what he is doing, why won't he say where he works? Is he worried that he'll get fired for doing this "heroic" work??

5. maybe he's unemployed, drawing food stamps and unemployment...

and all his right-wing co-horts would laugh at him.

just a guess.

6. IF he has a job.........

he shouldn't be hard to identify. Since he's 48 and lives on the north side and assuming he's the 48 yrear old William Breaux who is registered to vote in Houston, then he is listed on the records, including his home address. In fact, if it's him, today his is birthday.

Looks like he's already had MORE than his share of cake and ice cream.

9. If I'd known it was his birthday I'd have gotten him something

Maybe new shock absorbers for his pickup!

10. This guy is why we Texans always look so stupid.......

...to folks in other regions of the country. He's such a stereotypical image of what people expect to see when they think "Texan".

Old boy ain't gonna be chasin' no Mexicans down with a physique like THAT. He needs to put them pork rinds down and quit doin' the 12 oz. curl.
