The shootings of two Mexican citizens, one who said he saw a laser dot on his body before he was shot inside the united $tates, has still gone uninvestigated by u.$. authorities, possibly in an attempt to cover up a so-called international incident that might draw the righteous anger of the Latin American peoples and oppressed-nation peoples inside u.$. borders.(4) The nonlethal shootings happened within a few miles of the VFW Post that the California Minutemen were using as a base. The comprador Mexican government, a lackey of u.$. imperialism, is trying to portray the shootings as an internal affair, but Minuteman James Chase himself has attributed the shootings to "rogue" border vigilantes.
