i dont think that the minutemen or any group would do that. but i think that the government is playing the border problem way way down. i have spoken to people that live on the border. they tell a very different tale than the white house.

I don't trust a citizen's militia would be savvy enough ever get within a mile of the guys actually causing the problems. It's more likely they'd head down to Nuevo Laredo and start shooting the first brown people they see. People who are already more terrorized by the cartels than anybody on this side can even fathom.

You wanna put a dent in the cartel violence? It's a REALLY cheap solution. Just look to what Colorado and Washington state are doing.

This is why the problem will not be solved by either party, The Dems want more voters and the Repubs want cheap labor for there corporate masters.
Our borders should be secure, but its not going to happen with the the current scum we have in office.

Heroin is not the only drug.

A Friend had to fight 4 punks to keep his cell phone just list week, near CUBS PARK. No cops around...he WIPED them all and dialed 911. Those 4 are going away for strong -arm robbery. ..the police said...when they got there.
You should be fighting for legalization it sounds like if your afraid of the criminal element. If your fighting against immigration you should be fighting for policy reform.

But to answer your original question: I don't know what would happen. If a militia group decided to cross the border and attack Mexico, Mexican troops would either kill or detain them, with full US cooperation. Likewise, if they started killing illegals on the US side of the border, they'd be killed or detained by US officials.
1) We have laws not being enforced. 2) I think not enforcing the law will distroy the country. 3) It's not the one's crossing the border..it's the ones abusing the poor ) Make poor neighborhoors safe....Remember Jane Burn......she took a stand.

By the very definition of the word, the flood of illegal aliens across our southern border is an invasion. If the U.S. government refuses to defend the nation from an invasion, it is up to the people to do so.


I believe piles of dead invaders would act as a great deterrent to those thinking about crossing illegally.

I am thinking both parties are rich, at the leadership level.........in fact all organizations are set up to make people at the top rich.........left and right..even Ron Paul made money the last cycle.........
