What about minutemen making citizen arrests on our southern boarder?
Answer:
In a perfect world it would be great. The Office of Border Patrol in Washington D.C. will not allow their people to pick up illegals from them. Border Patrol Agents have been ordered to report the minutemen and their location when they are seen. Chief Aguilar does not want to piss off his boss in the big white house. Aguilar does not want the agents to do their jobs either. He is seeking termination on agents for pursuing illegals, and agents for not pursuing the illegals, The Border Patrol Agents are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
I think it is a good idea. However, even when law enforcement has illegals in custody, INS or ICE won't come get them. My dad is a judge in a small municipality in OK City. He had several illegals in court, had the clerk call the local INS office. They did not care.
So, just because one of the minutemen makes a citizen arrest, if INS or ICE won't come get the illegal...then what?
But, I am all for the minutemen being down there.
i like it!!
The dummies will eventually encounter a drug dealer that will shoot at them, the next time they do that they do that they will be armed and shoot innocent immigrants looking for a better life. Then all hell will break loose.
We have the government to do that, this is akin to me going on the streets and trying to stop people speeding. Sooner or later there will be trouble not my job and the people I stop know it.
It's a good idea any time an American tries to do something good for their country.
Citizen Arrests are legal,Go Boys and Girls,Take them Down.
HELL YES!!!!! Why aren't they now....
I am absolutely fine with that. They should be given the authority to do so.
Well, it's not a shoot on sight directive of the placement of land mines, but it's a start!! We need another cheap exploitable laborer to take funds out of our system like we need a hole in the head!! The mass immigration we saw in the late 1800's was enough to get this country started, time to close up shop and get on with the policies that create upward mobility for American born, from American parent citizenry.
Arresting them is one thing. having a detention facility and prosecuting them is something else. Unfortunately, our government does none of the above.
I wonder if they built a private detention facility, like the privately run prisons, if they could go the next step?
I'm all for immigration by people looking for a better life, but it should be LEGAL. BTW, we take in millions of unskilled people who require most of the government services and turn away highly educated and skilled workers because the quota for legal immirants is filled. How stupid is that?
If I lived in a border state I'd be right there with them! But our government has gotten so politically correct it is kind of scary. There is no common sense left when political correctness takes over.
Do you have any idea what the minutemen are about? Here in Southern Arizona -we do.
I say good! They're defending our country from invasion--something that's actually every American's duty!
They're true American patriotic heroes. I'd go a step further. Deputize them, give them pistols and assault rifles, make them immune from prosecution on matters involving people who violate our border laws, and let the bodies hit the floor.
I think it's a great idea, but I have a better one. Instad of doing a citizens arrest, they should do a citizens throw-back. By this I man, throw 'em back over the border, and shoot unil they run away!
I think it is awesome that these Men and Woman are willing to sacrifice their time and energy doing this. When my kids are grown and if we aren't Amermexcaina by then, I would love to do something like this!!!!
Edit~ Turtle I LOVE your answer!!
i think its great.
Hope they start very soon !!!!!!
Arresting is legal, sure I'm fine with it. Why can't we shoot them? Defending our sovereign soil from foreign invaders? What about the mexican military incursions on the border to help drug smugglers? Should we not be at war with mexico?
I'm glad someone is doing something about it!!! Hell yeah it's a great idea!
i hate it but theyre in all their right to do that i guess... 'protecting their country' all they are are a bunch of racists xenophobics but anyways... as long as they abide by the law they can do it
