The claim that this is an armed invasion -- as if the Wehrmacht has crossed the border headed for Paris -- is just not credible and not believed by the vast majority of the electorate.

While that is true, it is not the issue.

What is the issue is that there HAVE been home break-ins, rapes, murders and general thuggery by illegal immigrants and border crossers (some armed) and there is no reason these people should have to stand for that.
They have the right to keep and bear arms as well as the right to protect their lives and property. You may not like it but they have the right. 'Militia' does not mean the local constabulary nor the United States Armed Forces. It means us. The rest....and we will defend or G-d given rights against all interlopers.

The Minutemen may have some yahoos in their midst but on the whole they are doing the right thing.

Who said I didn't like it or even agree with it?

We all have the right to use deadly force to protect our lives. Property, no. I don't think if someone steals your car you have a right to kill them -- although some states do allow this.

The Minutemen aren't protecting their own lives and property -- if they were, they'd stay home. They are going out looking for bad guys while wearing guns. That's foolish. If they want to be coastwatchers, that's good. Patrol unarmed -- great.

I just hope nothing bad happens involving these guys.
