What we need more of = "New Mexico militia" working the border.
People doing the job when congress is a miserable failure. An active well armed militia never is out of date.
If congress doesn't like it maybe they should do their job.
The militia group, which calls itself the United Constitutional Patriots, said it is determined to monitor the border until President Trump fulfills his campaign promise of a border wall or until Congress enacts stronger legislation to make it more difficult for migrants to request asylum
1) Border Patrol does not want their “help.”
2) Their leader is a felon who has been arrested by the FBI. I guess he shouldn’t have called attention to himself.
As long as they have a property owner’s permission to be on that property it is perfectly legal to hold trespassers at gunpoint while awaiting the police or BP.
Armed Militias are what founded this country. How about secure our border or citizens will do the job themselves and better.
Haaar! Bragging about taking up arms against unarmed people, including women and children, and likening it to the founding of the country.....quintessentially American!
Seems you are upset that some people are thwarting the liberals open border policy.
Two wrongs never made a right - not justifying -ANY - breaking of the law. Vigilante break the law - but you won’t admit it because you feel it’s justified. Sad state of affairs.
That is the idea of a militia and militias were how this country was founded. When the government fails to do their job, and those failures bring real threats to others (invasion of illegal immigration), expect to see the rise of more militias and unrest.
And just wait and see how nasty things get before the election!

It's not vigilantism.
When the state fails to uphold the law the oneous then falls to the citizens
This is exactly why the 2a matters. Armed Citizens are defending our border from criminals where our government fails to protect us.
The majority of this group is composed of veterans or retired law enforcement. They are trained and have a sense of duty and patriotism. When someone takes an oath to protect the Constitution and country the oath doesn't have an expiration date. It matters a lot to people.
They simply are making citizen arrests/ detentions and holding them until border patrol takes over custody.

They claimed to be members of CBP.
If they are so well within their rights, why the need to misrepresent themselves?

As ineffective as border patrol has been lately, they can use all the help they can get!!! They are in NO position to turn assistance away! LOL
