A volunteer civilian border group calling themselves the Yuma Patriots conducted their first patrol on Sunday and their leader, Flash Sharrar, said he intends to conduct another patrol this coming weekend.
Federal authorities said they are concerned about the safety of these civilians and said patrols along the U.S.-Mexico border are best left to trained professionals.
Sharrar, 50, of Yuma, who organized the group, said: "We intend to have more patrols. I intend to decrease the border crossings as much as possible.
Two weeks ago, another such volunteer group calling themselves the Minuteman Project began a monthlong initiative in the southeast portion of the Arizona border. Authorities have expressed their concerns about the potential for violence and interference with Border Patrol operations.
Sharrar said he wants the public to know his group is not affiliated wityh the Minutemen.
"This is for Yuma and made up of Yuma folks," Sharrar said.
A total of 45 people have signed up thus far.
Sharrar said the Yuma Patriots aim to assist Border Patrol agents by calling them on radios or cell phones to report illegal immigrants crossing into the U.S.

"...patrols... are best left to trained professionals..."
Yes, they can collect the bribe money better than anyone else.
SO???They have no right.............or something like that. At least that's what I read on the MM threads.
Mexicos gubmint will never reform as long as ours lets all
mexicans come here at will.
Then we can have a gubmint as fine as they have.
This should give the Yuma Sector of the Border Patrol something useful to do. There is evidence that they haven 't been taking their jobs seriously enough. Last week a "Senior Supervisory Agent" from the "Yuma Sector" broadcast a year old Urban Legend e-mail about an over-the-counter drug recall over the unclassified counter-terrorism network. Now maybe he will have some real work to do.

Dear Trained Professionals. Lead-- Follow-- or get the hell out of the way.
Ping.
Was hoping this would happen, more citizen groups need to start taking the patrol in their own hands, and FORCE the government to take action.
Bump!
This is good news!
Subsidize it and watch the stampede.
Go Yuma Patriots! The Heroes are coming out of the woodwork.
As the Minuteman germ spreads, new infections for La Raza and the ACLU appear. Soon this will be out of control. Anericans will once again be in control of their borders.
MMP vet, Day -1 / Day 8 . (heh heh heh)
