This will end in tragedy:
TOMBSTONE - Faye Leedy cornered a burly man standing guard outside the white-walled headquarters for the Minuteman Project, ogling his T-shirt with a look of pure envy.
Leedy, a 73-year-old volunteer for a much-hyped civilian border patrol effort that starts in Tombstone today, read the writing, in old-fashioned Western script, out loud: “Undocumented Border Patrol Agent.”
“Oh, I gotta have one of those,” she said with a chuckle.
Leedy, a Sierra Vista retiree, is among an unlikely bunch of self-appointed border police set to descend on Cochise County to “assist” the U.S. Border Patrol in keeping undocumented immigrants from crossing the U.S.-Mexican border.
