Minutemen Helping Drug War

This is good news from the border:

The Minuteman Project formed for one purpose: to protect the border, and it has, according to an internal Drug Enforcement Agency report.
The report credits the border watch group with helping to cut down on drug trafficking...DEA officials say bulk loads of marijuana crossing the border dropped siginificantly.
Anthony Coulson, with DEA says, "When you have eyes on the border -- I think any law enforcment will admit this -- you have a great deterrent effect of keeping things away."

...Minuteman spokesman Al Garza says that's been a mission from the beginning.
"The initial plan was to go after the drug cartels," Garza said. "It's not just about illegal immigration, we are obviously looking into the sealing of the border and we did address the issue of drugs."

Other than the military, this is the most important volunteer force in our country.
