Here's a dose of logic then: there is no evidence any member of the caravan is attempting to cross illegally. In fact, there is plenty of evidence they are not. A person who is trying to do something illegal hides their actions. They don't display what they are doing for all the world to see.

The evidence is countless numbers of them have stated this as an intention we'll see
once they attempt it...and they will
Criminals by definition do not obey the law !
Proponents might want to spend more time thinking about the facts, and less time writing about feelings that won't fix the problem.
About 200 members of the Militia groups are currently guarding the Texas border. Militia groups, heavily armed organizations that train members in paramilitary techniques ― often are right-wing extremist organizations. 100 members of the Texas Minutemen are headed to the Rio Grande now. They traveled to the border, stoked by fears that dangerous illegal immigrants are coming to invade the country. With the caravan, large numbers of trained military, and untrained armed militia combined with a powder keg of explosive emotions, what can possibly go wrong?
Again with the drama. They are not "extremists", and despite how much the left wants to cry about it, they have the right to do what they are doing.
And most of them are very well trained, so that "worry" can go right out the window. You all thinking of the whole Bundy Ranch incident and claim that all militias are like that. Not even close to accurate.
But please, continue with the fear mongering while telling everyone the left doesn't fear monger.

Well, except for the fact that they entered Guatemala illegally, and they entered Mexico illegally, and even attacked the police and military while there. Sure, no "evidence" whatsoever.
But no, I'm sure that just because the huge migrant mob illegally crashed their way over the border into Mexico, fighting with cops, throwing rocks etc., they'll have a complete change of heart and wouldn't dream of doing it again into the United States.

They have been down there for 20 years, off and on. They have seen an urgency... They have full coms with border patrol.
Are they official law enforcement officers or yahoo vigilantes?
If they are not LE, then they are probably going to be committing crimes or ensure that someone gets hurt. And I hope anyone who does get hurt sues Trump for his irresponsible 'call to arms.' He is a fool.

Do these idiots really think they have some kind of authority?
Like, if the caravan makes it to the border...what are these militia men going to do? Shoot them?
And a bigger, more important question -- Do any of those 100s of right-wing Texas Minutemen have jobs they should be at right now?
Maybe they are taking vacation? Maybe they are their own boss and can take off when they want?
I remember people on this very forum being chastised for questioning left-wing protestors occupations that allow them to be off work during a week day. The only difference is there are many, many more protestors than Texas Minutemen.
I'm in the California Minutemen. We would sit watch along the border in known illegal-alien corridors. We brought private arms, knowing that the coyotes were often armed. Never had to use them all the times I was there. Sometimes we would see some illegal aliens come in. Coyotes apparently brought them to the border, boosted them over (fence was pretty paltry then), and turn them loose.
They would often walk right up to our camp, having no idea what to do. Some were coyote victims, others had walked a long way on their own etc. Sometimes they would be shivering, hungry, thirsty etc. We would give hem food and water, wrap blankets around them first aid if they needed it, and call the Border Patrol to come get them. We had good relations with the BP, a situation that continues to this day.
We both had the same objective (reducing or stopping illegal border incursions), and got along well. We deferred to their professionalism, and they appreciated having the extra eyes. Several times I took time off work, using up "vacation" days to do something I considered necessary.
I'd be very surprised if the "militia" people of today, were any different.
It's only the screaming liberal hysterics who have never seen them on station, who are trying to tell you they are "crazy", "out of control" etc., for their own reasons, while presenting no actual evidence of it.
The willful ignorance in this thread is staggering. People stubbornly insistent upon maintaining stupidity. Quite shocking, really.
Militia members and private patrols have been used for over a century by border landowners. Much to the chagrin of our village idiots, they aren’t running around looking for people to shoot. Their general duties are simply to observe and report. They also top off water caches, check fences for damage, and coordinate surveillance with CBP officers. They generally do not confront, detain, or get physical with any migrants. They simply report their current location to CBP, who sends officers out to arrest.
They do this with the blessing and permission of landowners. Landowners who do not want them on their land are respected. They aren’t down there trespassing and playing cops. They provide an extra measure of security in an area understaffed and overpopulated with migrants.
