Bush Against Vigilantes (Reid Willing to Fight After Fight Over)

"Bush decries border project," by James Lakely, Washington Times, 24 March 2005, http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20050324-122200-6209r.htm (from Drudge).
Earlier, Madame Malkin implied that the protests against the "Minuteman Project" -- an attempt at mass intimidation along the Mexican border -- were spearheaded by extremists.
Jim Gilchrist hopes most of his neighbors won't believe the signs held by protesters at the entrance to his quiet, gated community.
They included "Minuteman, a racist domestic terrorist" and "KKK supports Minuteman" scrawled in bold letters and displayed by almost 50 protesters standing on sidewalks near the Vista de Oro gated community....

President Bush yesterday said he opposes a civilian project to monitor illegal aliens crossing the border, characterizing them as "vigilantes."
He said he would pressure Congress to further loosen immigration law.
More than 1,000 people — including 30 pilots and their private planes — have volunteered for the Minuteman Project, beginning next month along the Arizona-Mexico border. Civilians will monitor the movement of illegal aliens for the month of April and report them to the Border Patrol.
Mr. Bush said after yesterday's continental summit, with Mexican President Vicente Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin at Baylor University, that he finds such actions unacceptable.
"I'm against vigilantes in the United States of America," Mr. Bush said at a joint press conference. "I'm for enforcing the law in a rational way."
Sadly, Senate Opposition Leader Harry Reid isn't so courageous
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, of Nevada, says Democrats have been willing to work with Mr. Bush, but that first the president must persuade congressmen of his own party to embrace his plan
So Reid will fight for what's right -- after the fight has already been won.
Brilliant.
