For at least four years, the Barnetts have patrolled their 22,000-acre ranch about five miles north of Douglas, apprehending illegal immigrants crossing their property and turning them over to the U.S. Border Patrol.

Isn't that what you're supposed to do? According to the law. Or am I missing something?

Allegedly the knuckle-dragging vigilantes are trespassing on other people's personal property.

I guess it would be OK if you or I wanted to "cross their property" (trespass), too? Oh yeah...it's only the undocumented immigrants who have the "right" to do that.

Yes M Kehoe - that's what I think you're supposed to do.
It's my property, I own it, and if I say stay off, then I should be able to deny (illegal)access to anyone.[/rhetorical statement]
It's interesting because here in Texas, you can shoot someone, at night, who is stealing/vandalizing your property. Personally, I wouldn't shoot someone who was stealing my chicken. I would though, scare the beegesus out of him. But his life is not worth my chicken. (This is based on an actual event here). Seems that if I can shoot someone under these conditions, then I would logically be able to round up people who are trespassing on my property. Not to mention IN THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY!
