Well to me and most Americans, America IS private property. The govenment is doing nothing about it, so citizens are taking it into their own hands. Expect to see more of that if someone with a liberal immigration position is elected president. We the people have had enough.
And for everyone's information, I don't own A gun, I own 5. Yes there are a lot of us gun owning, NRA member, good ole boy red blooded Americans still around. You say it like it's a bad thing, I don't belive it is. Texas has a right to carry law and has one of the lowest crime rates in the nation. Wonder why that is. And if that's how us "anti-illegals" are perceived, why does it seem that all the "pro-illegals" are either 1) Wealthy Liberals who do not have to deal with this situation (other than paying their maid or gardener), 2) People of the same race as an illegal (any illegal) who tend to use emotion for their standings, not logic, or 3) High school or college students who have extremely limited real world experience? Yet almost all middle class citizens are tired of the illegal problem, ever wonder why that is?
So you think Texas has a great crime rate because people walk around in fear of getting shot by one another?
Honesty thru paranoia?

I think it has something to do with it, but this is way off topic, open border guy brought it up in the first place, minutemen carry when on the border. I only want to use mine only for sport, God forbid a criminal breaks in my house, I'll be ready.

Yes off topic indeed, but to answer your question, criminals only want to attack those unarmed, i.e., easy prey. They don't want someobody shooting back.
No. I do not oppose gun ownership. The Ninth Amendment and lack of authority to Prohibit commerce is pretty clear on the subject. The Second Amendment is clear on the purpose of federal recourse to gun ownership by individuals.
I do not own a firearm. The 9A also implies the reserved right to not be as well regulated as people who do keep and bear arms; especially, if there is no Invasion or Rebellion, or formal declaration of war by Congress.

Maybe this article will provide some insight as to the emphasis being put on illegal immigration:
5 indicted in 'Zip Tie' crimes
Suspects face a total of 96 charges in robbery spree
Maricopa County grand jury has indicted five defendants - four of them undocumented immigrants - in the "Zip Tie" bandit crime spree, County Attorney Andrew Thomas said on Sunday. Thomas said that 96 charges were filed in a 36-count indictment.
He discussed the Zip Tie case and the connection between undocumented immigrants and the Valley's crime rates at a rare weekend news conference.
In the Zip Tie case, six men are accused of robbing four Mesa grocery and discount stores over a nearly five-month period.
Then, contact your Congressional Representative(s) and suggest changes to the current law.
Until then, the law is to be enforced
OBTW - not everyone coming illegally to the US is a) employed nor b) employable
Which laws are being enforced? Crossing the border without inspection, in the manner of many current "illegals" is only a misdemeanor. Most misdemeanors can usually be satisfied by a simple fine.
The states have no Constitutionally enumerated authority to enforce US Customs laws. The same can be said of individual people.
Why are you making a bigger deal than is required for a misdemeanor? Do you also have the same attitude about the misdemeanor of jaywalking or are you being inconsistent because you have an ulterior motive for doing so? You have already establish that you are not doing it for the greater glory of our republic.
I just don't see a reason in living in paranoia with a gun in the house ....
As one who has had personal experience with protecting my family from being harmed by an intruder with my firearm, I can assure you I do not live in "paranoia" - but, I do have a firearm (actually, more than one) in my home. And, as before, I would not be opposed to, nor afaid to, use it - again.
The states have no Constitutionally enumerated authority to enforce US Customs laws. The same can be said of individual people.
Are you aware of the laws (state) regarding the prohibition of human smuggling (a felony) in the State of Arizona? I don't believe you do for, this is one of the laws being enforced
Are you aware that many local law enforcement officers have also been federally sworn, and trained, and these officers are enforcing US Customs laws - as federal officers? I don't believe you do for, if you did, you would recognize the error in your above statement
