Until they have to shoot someone.
Then we'll see the full force of government go after the Armed Patriots.
The kind of force they *should* have mobilized to keep criminals out of the country.

I’m afraid you’re probably right.

These guys are not spoiling for a fight. They’ve just had enough with all the pontification from the politicians.

I am a native Texan...that border is NOT secure. No way, no how.

My brother once owned a ranch along the border. These illegals would trash the house, steal items and place folks lives in danger. Finally he just had enough and sold the place.

It’s certainly a mess.

If this were done right, they’d all be deputized on the spot, just like the posses of the Old West.

"Until they have to shoot someone"

Back in 2003 Ranch Rescue was the first to set up citizen patrols in south Texas.

They didn't shoot anyone but pistol whipped an illegal and the Texas Rangers went after them. They never could convict them but Casey Nethercott was a felon in possession so he was sent back to prison.

Then the illegals went after them on a civil complaint. The ranch owner settled out of court for a $100 grand, and Nethercott lost his 40 acres located on the AZ-Mex border in the judgement.
