Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tx) was reported by KFOX-TV in El Paso as saying the following:

"Security is important, but I believe no matter what the good intentions may be of civilian volunteers that this is not a job for volunteers. This is a job for trained professionals and that''s why I have proposed that we increase the number of Border Patrol and trained professionals to help with border security."

We agree, Sen. Cornyn. When the federal government secures the border, the Minutemen will stand down. Until then, we''ll be on the border doing what Congress and the President have failed to do so far.
