The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps that we have here absolutely does not do anything like that."

... reports of their minutemen harassing local residents by pulling them over late at night - or by carrying guns into restaurants - are untrue. The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps does not pull anybody over. We do not arrest. We do not detain. Nor do we pretend to be law enforcement."Several Falfurrias restaurant proprietors who were contacted said they hadn't seen any gun-toting minutemen, or any harassment.
The ACLU must be sorely disappointed. Kudos to the Minutemen.
To: SwinneySwitch
"...people pretending to be Minutemen..."
No doubt these are contract workers.
The question is, who is employing them?
La Raza? The Federal Government? The media?
The answers, when revealed, will be interesting.

"They have absolutely no idea what we do because they can't step one foot on this property without landing in jail," Vickers said. The good and the bad of the Texas border, it's mostly private property. Also part of the problem with putting the military there.

"The Caller-Times made three appointments to observe the Minuteman group's watches, but all three appointments were canceled."
I wonder who canceled the appointments???

There are a lot of things he doesn't like, but he IS in favor of socializing the oil companies.

Private owners might lease a strip by the river for the military to patrol.
To: SouthTexas
The good and the bad of the Texas border, it's mostly private property. Also part of the problem with putting the military there. That's why I've called for federalizing a quarter- to half-mile strip of land on our side of the border and declaring it a "military base" so that anyone caught on it can be searched without a warrant or probable cause, charged with criminal trespass, and sent home just like it would be if they were caught on any other military base in the country.

You would try and solve the illegal problem by violating the property rights of American citizens?

There would be access problems. Federal/public roads slicing up the rest of your property? And those that wouldn't want the feds on their property would be accused of everything from illegal activities to anti-American activities. So then you move on to confiscation.
Not what this country, nor this state, was founded on.

I'm ignorant where Texas is concerned, but the entire border in Arizona has a road that is part of the border, with Mexico on one side and quite a bit of private property on the other. It's just like a utility easement alongside your house inside city limits.
Is Texas really different?

Well, many said there would be infiltration and copycats. Point made.
