This is a rush transcript from "On the Record," October 19, 2011. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: An Arizona rancher takes the border battle into his own hands. But did he go too far? Griff Jenkins takes us to the scene of the confrontation.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

GRIFF JENKINS, FOX NEWS CORRESPONDENT: In 2004, Arizona ranger Roger Barnett was here, just miles from the U.S./Mexico border, tending to his water pump, when he discovered trash that led him to a group of more than 20 illegal aliens crossing his property. What followed that day was a seven-year legal battle that ended up in the Supreme Court of the United States, with Roger liable for more than $80,000 in damages.

Now for the first time we bring our viewers here on his ranch to hear firsthand from Roger what happened that day.

Roger, it's 2004, March 7th. You are out, doing whatever you do on your ranch here. Take me back and our viewers back to the day, to what happened here, where we are and how this all unfolded.

ROGER BARNETT, ARIZONA RANCHER: OK. Back up here, a third of a mile, half a mile is a windmill. And there is water there. We were driving by to check the waters out and make sure the illegal aliens hadn't fouled them up, broke the lines, or whatever. And then we stopped up here in the wash. My dog jumps out, and I was looking at tracks and he gets on them. He's all excited and everything. Then he's -- he was coming down the ditch.

Nope. He’s just doing what Mexican citizens can do when they find illegals in their country.

You want some real mumbo jumbo? Some incredible cajoney baloney? Click the link. Calderon is complaining the Mexicans who snuck into the US and got busted are being returned. He’s upset because they’re criminals!

Haven’t we been saying that for decades now?
