Border Patrol Considers Using Minutemen

In yet another story in which citizens who observe and report criminal activity are referred to as "vigilantes," the New Standard nevertheless reports this:

"According to a story published on the Government Executive website, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Robert Bonner told members of the House Government Reform Committee on May 12 that the agency needs thousands more new agents to monitor US borders, and that it may look to 'more effectively harness the citizen volunteers.'"

Neighborhood Watch folks better be careful. If you see someone breaking in to your neighbor's house and you call the police, you're a vigilante.
