I respectfully disagree. I have relatives living on the Arizona border (I myself am in the biggest offender state, California), and I have to tell you as ranchers there (AZ), they have begged, pleaded, and done everything in their power to get law enforcement to DO SOMETHING. Their ranchlands get burned, dogs shot, fences ruined, property defecated and littered on, water looted, and houses robbed. Don't judge until you live there. BUSH NEEDS TO ENFORCE OUR FEDERAL LAWS.

Ummm, I agree with your sentiments. I live in Cochise County, Arizona just a few miles from the border. Douglas, AZ - where this incident allegedly occurred - is also in Cochise County. This county is the primary corridor for the illegal immigration invasion.

I also know a number of the so-called "vigilantes" down here. I'm friends with some of them and support others. That makes me some sort of extremist radical or something. So, trust me when I express my distrust and apprehension of Foote and Nethercott's activities. I live here, I know the various groups, and I know the situation far better than you do. Foote and Nethercott are going to only cause problems that we don't need and hurt the border reform movement. The one silver lining is that he will make American Border Patrol and Civil Homeland Defense groups look positively mainstream in comparison. That is already happening with ABP as they are gaining local and national acceptance.

Thanks for the insight. I should be in the same category of those who didn't live in California and had all of their opinions about the recall, and I didn't feel they had the right to. I respect your opinions because you are there in Arizona, where we have similar (but not the same situations) and I'll lay back.

Why wouldn't these border vigilantes have a video camera going at all times? If some soldado from Mexico is on our soil--firing weapon or not--I'd make dang sure I caught it on tape to show the world!
