"It's an excellent idea that would be shut down by our benevolent Federal Government. Citizens helping defend our borders from invasion conflicts with the Federal Agenda of encouraging Illegal Immigration."
Now that's something I'd love to see - the Federal government trying to interfere with a state government and its voluntary citizen militia protecting its borders from invasion... Such an event could very well spell the collapse of the Federal government if both sides held their ground.

At a minimum, it would put a spotlight on the FedGov's treason and complicity in encouraging this secular invasion of our country.

Congress has Constitutional authority over immigration and naturalization. If you want to enable the amnesty steamroller, question that authority.
There's no need to act like knuckleheads. If you oppose amnesty, pressure Congress to incorporate Tancredo's BE REAL Act into the President's immigration reform proposal.
