I would stand on the sidewalk in front of her house eating a BigMac waiving goodby to her.

If she is illegal I wish she would continue her protest on the proper side of the border..... Be nice if our government would enforce that.

Ponce, a diabetic, is fasting there for a week.

Presumably she's adult onset diabetes, not Type 1 (juvenile, the more serious version that requires shots...which, incidentally, is what I have), so her problem is probably caused by obesity. Hence, I imagine she could stand to go on a hunger strike without causing too much trouble--her doctors might even approve of the measure.

Perhaps she'll lose a ton of weight and market this as a new diet? Call it the "Border Protest Diet."

I like how the word vigilante is not quoted and what is with the last part of this "... a tightknit Mexican-American enclave of families with children, all of them with inalienable rights."

Hey Ponce, if you're not going to eat that burrito, may I have it?

Let her starve herself to death. One less stupid person in the world to deal with.

This should be put under - The most ridiculous article of the day, were there such a category.

These are not vigilantes as this woman and the MSM are want to call American citizens doing their duties as citizens…they are doing just what they should be doing when their government does not do the job of protecting the Homeland and they are doing it very well in spite of the ACLU appearing along with all the reporters, trying to tweak many members into confrontations.

Is everybody an idiot? I fast 7 days every spring and have done so for 20 years. The only thing it will do is make her feel better and might cure her diabeties. In addition I fast each monday which off sets the weekend binges. It takes 90% of your total energy just to digest what people stuff in their mouth. You would be suprised how good you feel when all this energy goes to repairing your body. If she was writhing around delusional in a lawn chair there was something else wrong. I suggest she be checked for iligallities or liberallities.

I may be wrong on my post re: her diabetes, I don't know. I don't really know about adult onset diabetes---

I just know about Type 1 diabetes, which DOES require carbohydrates or the person would go into coma....

Sorry if I misrepresented what this person may be doing to herself---

Hmmmm - sounds to me like she's running a little late to join Jim Jones at Guyana. But, that's the beauty of the Darwin Awards - the nominee doesn't have to be a moron during any particular time frame.

"Why do they need to be armed?"

Soon, her husband would light a fire and let out her dog, Vega, a pit bull-German shepherd mix, to guard her.

We can only hope AHHHHHrnold means what he said about closing the border.

I doubt it though. It will be up to citizens like the Minutemen to continue the fight or this country will look like the junkpile called Tijuana in a lot of places in a few years. Many cities already do!!

"If she is truly a diabetic, she is really comitting suicide, because diabetics HAVE to have a certain amount of food a day with carbohydrates or they will go into a diabetic coma and die...."

I don't think that's true... That would apply only if she were tasking insulin. Most diabetics have type II. If she was type I and cut out the insulin dhe'd still be OK.di

I see FOX showed a map of states planning citizen border patrols. Basically it included all our southern border states and a few here on the northern border.

PS: my wife keeps encouraging me to go on a 90 day hunger strike. Doesn't care what the cause.

that's not completely true--type 1 diabetics require insulin, or they'll go into a coma from high blood sugar. (A friend of mine died in high school from this.) A lack of carbs, combined with too much insulin, will cause blood sugar to plummet, which causes an insulin reaction (also called insulin shock). So it's dangerous on both ends, but only a lack of insulin will send a person into a coma.
