Sen. Wayne Allard of Colorado wants the government to consider deputizing the Minuteman Project vulnteers, Associated Press reports:

A Republican senator said today the government should consider deputizing private citizens, like the Minuteman Patrol in Arizona to help secure U.S. borders.

Senator Wayne Allard of Colorado said the U-S Border Patrol also should look to local law enforcement and state officials for help along the most porous parts of the U-S-Mexico line.
