So much exaggeration.
And my response was to the poster who stated "There own authority as U.S. Citizens. They determine their own role. Not all of us need government to tell us what to do all the time."
According to this they can form up, go out and do what they want with no accountability to any authority but their own. That's not hyperbole that's hubris and it can be very dangerous.
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?
When these militias were at the border years ago there was no violence instigated by them. In fact all they did was report illegal entry to the Border Patrol and provide water to thirsty illegal aliens. They are armed only to protect themselves. If you think it will only be unarmed women and children coming here then you are delusional.
Did you read the DHS site that I posted under several topics in here? There are some dangerous people in this caravan.

Protect themselves from what? They have no reason to be there at all. Even if there are some armed members of the caravan, it's in Mexico City, about 657 miles from the Texas border. Are you suggesting 5100 troops can't handle an at least mostly unarmed caravan from that far away? What do they need 300 vigilante members for? The militia can argue with the military over who gets to play the iron in the next Monopoly game, I suppose.
Do "the military" confide their worries to you? What a unique position to be in.
Read an article every now and again and you can be 'unique' as well.
