What do you expect from the BBC after all the original Minutemen was for battling British invaders... so they relate to the Mexican invader

Yet another headline that doesn't match the story.

Minute Men doing the job Washington refuses to do.

Will a 10 mile fence do much good?

What isn't clear about the effect of thirty to forty million illegals in the US? How would any other country in the world deal with thirty to forty million, mostly illiterate, hungry,jobless, homeless, Spanish speaking poor folk ethnically cleansed from Mexico dumped over their border?

Let's combine border security with the illiteracy problem:

Construction needs to begin immediately on a 2,000-mile Borders Book fence.

Want to cross? Read 20 books and then fill out the application form in English.

Vigilante in Spanish means watchman. Not threatening at all.

I'm sure this has come up but I must've missed it. What is law regarding citizen's arrest of illegal invaders?

One would hope so. Ask el Presidente W why he has a fence around the WH and the VP's residence at the Nat. OBservatory.

"Vigilante in Spanish means watchman. Not threatening at all."

We don't speak Spanish and neither do the British.
