[Mb-civic] Border Volunteers

[Harold Sifton]

Thanks Barbra,
It  makes sense that most would be ranchers, farmers etc ........ still it 
is a situation that could turn tragic, even with good intentions.
There was an event last week where a recently return Army Reservist took 
down/caught a couple of illegals (with a rifle in hand) and then his 
associate called the Borader patrol. He was not registered with the 
volunteers ..... the Border Patrol was not pleased .........

Harry,

I have read about these people as well and most seem to be Ranchers and Farm 
Owners (who feel the illegals are degrading their property by leaving heaps 
of trash, dirty clothing and using privately owned property for a toilet), 
they feel they are helping but the border control does NOT appreciate the 
help. How they get around it THEY say is to coral the people sneaking across 
the border then turn them over to the border patrol who in turn sometimes 
charge &/or return them.

peace,
barbara

The Border Volunteers 'Minute Men' want to expand.
Who are these people, are they retirees, unemployed, vacationers ?????
Do they not have jobs to go too? Where do they find the time to do this type 
of surveillance if they do have jobs?

America should be concerned of these newly self-empowered people.
