What a waste of time!! wrote on Sep 30, 2007 8:05 AM:When will Jeff Scwilk and his ilk get it?? Why do they continue to trample on the rights of others? If Rev. Kaicher is hearing from a higher authority, yes I mean God than who is Jeff Schwilk and his ilk to demand that he obey them and not his God? This is a good story but shows me more than ever that the sdmm and others are wasting their time!!!! They stand around loitering, and that is their complaint about the day laborers! They make racist remarks to people claiming to be asserting their 1st Amendment right but what about the rights of others? I live in Fallbrook and drove by the church what a circus. It was the most ridiculous thing I had ever seen. I believe other avenues must be taken to stop illegal immigration because standing on the sidewalk with a bullhorn is not accomplishing anything. I think most of us ... we really do not want them in our city. If they had almost 300 signatures on some petition ... why did the people who represent these signatures NOT show up? I guess as usual Jeff Schwilk and his ilk took it upon themselves to speak for them. Well you don't speak for me and I will graciously thank you if you leave my city. Oh one more thing please stop abusing Old Glory! She stands for what America is all about and you definately do not! Do your ... deeds without tainting the values of my flag!

HMM.. wrote on Sep 30, 2007 9:15 AM:Get a Life! Why don't they use the church to PRAY, rather than preach. The Minute men should work on cleaning up the GANG BANGERS instead, that is more of a problem than people WANTING to work!!

Jeff Schwilk is so ridiculous wrote on Sep 30, 2007 9:18 AM:"Anti-illegal immigration activists protested again Saturday in front of St. Peter's Catholic Church in Fallbrook and said they planned to present its leaders with a petition demanding they close a day-labor hiring site on the church's property." Operative word here "again" please no not again!!! Yes, Jeff now that you have a petition and you are going to deman this day labor site be closed it will happen!! Please stop already I am getting a stitch from laughing. When will Jeff and his [people] realize that they are all washed up.

Oh come on NCT!!!!!! wrote on Sep 30, 2007 10:02 AM:You call this news? What is going on here? Why do you continue to report on the antics of vigilantes acting badly? Has the news pool dried up? Get some real stories out there with some real substance.

Oh no, not again wrote on Sep 30, 2007 10:16 AM:I sure hope this is last we will be hearing from this group of juvenile deliquents. Oh what you mean these are grown up men and women behaving in this uncivilized manner? Well for sure than they should grow up and realize that this is a free country and they should start respecting the rights of others while exercising theirs. The Constitution and the rights provided are a two way street! I think it is time for Jeff Schwilk and the likeminded start to yield the right of way to others. When will they come to realize that they are not the only ones who have rights!!!!

Suzette wrote on Sep 30, 2007 10:39 AM:Poor Jeff and his [people]. They just can't seem to get a good story. I read this story and I re-read this story and it still says nothing!!! I guess it is just telling the tale of the SDMM they are just nothing. Is there nothing better to write about? Lets see, I saw a opossum crossing the street last in Vista, I think this is more newsworthy than anything that Jeff and his cohorts do!!!

Clea wrote on Sep 30, 2007 1:00 PM:If being vigilant about exposing people who violate the laws of our land, harbor rapists and would be murderers constitutes being a 'vigilante' then we need many more vigilantes doing what our government won't do. Crossing our borders illegally, working illegally and yes, hiring those who are here illegally is ILLEGAL! If the church really cared about these people, they would assist them in promptly returning home to their own country and help spread the word that to come to the US they must do it LEGALLY and safely without having to pay coyotes or risk their lives in the process. It is quite transparent that the church really cares more about the money they bring in than about these human beings in search of a better life. LEGAL Immigration is a Godly way to go. We should love, embrace and encourage LEGAL immigration and discourage ILLEGAL immigration and the ills which accompany it.

The Minutemen simply wanted to use the press to spread their venomous hate and anti-immigrant hysteria. It didn't work. They'll try again, and again it won't work. People are looking for solutions and rational debate on this issue. They'll never get it from the Minutemen.

I am a former Catholic who is glad he left that Church, when I see people like Father Bud & Bishop Brom so far off the tracks theologically to use their 'authority' to preach heresy. God is NOT happy that people like Father Bud are using His name to break the laws of of the land. ...

Godzilla wrote on Sep 30, 2007 10:28 PM:Harboring and facilitating illegal aliens is a crime and those involved should be punished. When you bring a illegal day laborer home you are also bringing them into your community endangering yourself and others in your neighborhood. People are waking up to these facts and open borders socialists don't have a prayer. Focus your attention on fixing the cesspool from wince you came!!!

I'd be a little pissed too. The fact is that these folks are fighting the hard fight. There are more and more illegals here everyday sucking the life out of this country. Something has to be done.-

Tony V wrote on Oct 1, 2007 8:11 AM:I think the protest needs to continue to get the message acrossthat Illegal aliens are breaking the law. They should be deported. They can seek forgiveness for their sins from Fr. Bud and then be deported. The church take the lead and demonstrate to itsfollowers that catholics to obey the law not to break the law(especially now with the sex abuse/bankrupscy mess) Keep the protesting coming. Its the only way to drive home the point. illegal aliens are in this country ILLEGALLY. --

You NEED to blame, if you must blame someone, your government, the Mexican government, La Raza, Aztlan and all the others who make no bones about their goal of 'taking over' the Southwest USA. I LOVE the USA, have worn her uniform and certainly DON'T want them to bring the 3rd world to us here. Get over it and join up! It is the bad apples who are giving the brown people a bad rap.

Our nation and sovereignty are eroding into a globalists agenda and the American citizen is paying the bill. Illegal aliens ARE taking jobs that Americans WILL do and in doing so they are driving down wages as well as quality of work. The Minutemen helped to bring to the attention of our nation the invasion we witness everyday EVEN AFTER 9-11! They have courage and are willing to sacrifice time, energy and fortune to try and help secure America and make it a better place for American citizens. Millions of Americans should be doing the same. We cannot go on being the world's flop house any longer. You better wake up and soon! As Bush pushes through the NAU and SPP, you will witness the total loss of American sovereignty and every right you thought you had! AND YOU WILL FOOT THE BILL!-

When they marched illegally with their mexican flags and the American flag upside down, they awoke the Americans and they began a backlash which will continue. Our laws must be enforced, stop the job magnet and these lawbreakers will self deport. Americans are sick and tired of paying for these parasites. Go home and protest to your own corrupt, self-serving governments.

CaliGal wrote on Oct 2, 2007 6:45 PM:The first thing that makes anyone a good American is their ability to follow the law. The United States is a society based on laws, and people should not have the right to pick and choose the laws they are willing to obey. The illegal aliens have no respect for the laws of this nation, if they did they would have come here through the legal process. The American people are under no legal or moral obligation to be taxed into poverty to support illegal alien criminals and that's exactly what illegals who smuggle themselves across the border are: criminals. They broke the law to enter our country. Here in California, we are overrun with illegal aliens, and we have already lost much of life as we knew it. Hospitals are closing, the educational system is in the toilet, the welfare system no longer exists for Americans who need assistance and population growth has encroached on our farm and wetlands. Food, water, gas and electric energy is at an all time low, our resources are stretched to the limits. This illegal alien crisis is not about race, this is about overpopulation and survival. It is about national security. It is about our sovereignty and it is about the rule of law. God Bless the Minutemen & women!

Many people who came here legally from other countries (including me and my family) understand how hard it is to get legal, and how much better it is here than in our homelands, but why should illegals get preferential treatment, when they are ILLEGAL?
