Their leader now under arrest for being illegally in possession of a firearm as he is a convicted felon. Would be interesting to know exactly how many of the group are convicted felons, I'm sure the leader 9s not the only one.Also many of them wearing fake or stolen border patrol badges.
Defunded by gofundme and paypal. Winners. Maybe the actual border police will have to start shooting these criminals.
As he should be. The whole group should get the maximum sentence for impersonating law enforcement and kidnapping. These are terrorists, nothing more.
Sneaking across the border is not how you "seek asylum." And you're right, those brave men likely prevented a number of crimes, including fraud, forgery, unlawful employment, and illegally crossing the border just for starters. Illegal aliens commit multiple crimes in perpetuity just to enter and remain illegally in our sovereign nation.
Right. The ACLU just made that up. "Asylum Seeker" is the new buzzword. It is supposed to make us go "Awwwwww, they're just seeking asylum. Come on, just let 'em in." Next, "Fluffy Puppies crossing border."
AND it's not legal for these people to be coming over without permission...in a lot of cases they are trampling over private property. What is WRONG with Democrats? They were born without ANY common sense, just a bunch of feelings...
What is just wrong is the giant magnet that our politicians and some unscrupulous employers have set in place to attract the illegals across the border. Of course they are "authorized." Read the Second Amendment. They are no different that your local neighborhood watch. Depends on which direction they "walk away." Back to Mexico? Fine. And think twice before trying to come back because we'll be here waiting for you... Walking north? Nuh uh, not gonna happen amigo. We are placing you under citizens' arrest and lawfully detaining you until the authorities arrive at which point we will turn you over to them and report our observations of your unlawful activity. Citizens arrest is perfectly legal. Happens all the time. I catch you breaking into my house and sit on you until the cops come...
But, but, but... they tell us the illegals are just poor people looking for a better life! You're not telling me that's not entirely true now, are you????
Sure, but illegally sneaking across the border is not the way one applies for asylum. "Asylum seeker" is the new buzzword. You'll note now that every person stopped at unauthorized entry points along the border are called "asylum seekers" by the Nancy Pelosi/Rachel Madcow contingent. Correct. The UN Refugee Convention, to which both of our countries are signatories of course, states very clearly the conditions to qualify for refugee or asylum status. "Living in a shithole country" is not one of them.
If I have a badge and claim to be law enforcement, that is impersonation. That is pretty cut and dried. If I actively patrol a group of liquor stores waiting to apprehend an armed robber, that is more akin to vigilantism than someone who simply happens upon a crime while buying themselves a bottle. These guys are actively patrolling our border in much the same way. You can't go around actively trying to make a citizens arrest - with a semi automatic rifle and tactical gear.
I don't know many democrats you should ask one. If a rancher hired these guys to watch his land for trespassers, that would be one thing. I am not aware of anyone charging these guys with the duty of patrolling the US border or private property. They taken that upon themselves.
Citizens' arrest is not kidnapping. If I observe you committing a crime, I am legally authorized to detain you and alert the authorities. But your hysteria is amusing, so I'll give you that. Try not to get any of that mouth foam on the carpeting. Yeah, the rule of law really sucks. It's like all uncool and stuff man! Let's see your evidence to support this wildly preposterous claim. You're quite confused. The females are raped by the coyotes... the very bad men they pay to bring them across the border. The coyotes who only exist because your heros like Nancy Pelosi and Jerry Brown have rolled out the illegal alien red carpet. Right. Because illegal aliens only started coming in 2016. Your liberal heroes are the ones to blame. They have done everything they can to subvert the rule of law, going as far as giving driver licenses to individuals who have no business even being present here, giving them free medical care, hiding them from federal authorities in the lawful commission of their duly-authorized duties, and spending MY TAX MONEY on legal defense for people who have intentionally, willfully, and knowingly broken our laws. Thanks, indeed. Illegal aliens are living in fear again. And that is a very good thing.
These guys are not neighborhood watch and this has nothing to do with protecting their property. How many times have the neighborhood watch worn tactical gear, hidden their faces, and engaged targets with an AR? They are actively patrolling the border and impersonating the border patrol.
Sneaking across the border is not the correct way to apply for asylum. Furthermore, hardly any individual in South or Central America would actually qualify under the UN CONVENTIONS ON THE STATUS OF REFUGEES. "Living in a shithole country" is not one of the qualifications. And frankly, this recent spate of phony asylum seekers are doing nothing but further jamming up the system for bona fide asylees. Taking advantage of our most generous asylum and refugee programs is the height of cynicism and actual refugees are probably dying because of it.
Only if the Latinos are more brown than George Zimmerman. I am pretty sure the cops can be of any color or political affiliation though, and it still be considered a hate crime performed under the influence of the GOP.
