16 illegals sue Arizona rancher

An Arizona man who has waged a 10-year campaign to stop a flood of illegal immigrants from crossing his property is being sued by 16 Mexican nationals who accuse him of conspiring to violate their civil rights when he stopped them at gunpoint on his ranch on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Roger Barnett, 64, began rounding up illegal immigrants in 1998 and turning them over to the U.S. Border Patrol, he said, after they destroyed his property, killed his calves and broke into his home.

His Cross Rail Ranch near Douglas, Ariz., is known by federal and county law enforcement authorities as "the avenue of choice" for immigrants seeking to enter the United States illegally.

Trial continues Monday in the federal lawsuit, which seeks $32 million in actual and punitive damages for civil rights violations, the infliction of emotional distress and other crimes. Also named are Mr. Barnett's wife, Barbara, his brother, Donald, and Larry Dever, sheriff in Cochise County, Ariz., where the Barnetts live. The civil trial is expected to continue until Friday....

"This is my land. I´m the victim here," Mr. Barnett said. "When someone´s home and loved ones are in jeopardy and the government seemingly can´t do anything about it, I feel justified in taking matters into my own hands. And I always watch my back."

Well, yeah. And do you ever wonder where all these leftist groups get their funding to always be available to do all this stuff? Just have a look at the current ‘stimulus’ bill and where a bunch of the money goes. Folks, it’s time to prepare our weaponry and begin countering the opposition in the way that is always the most efficient when dealing with runaway tyranny.

First, what legal standing do the illegals have to bring a suit against the rancher?

Second, if they do have legal standing against the property owner, why does the property owner not have legal standing such that the illegals are not in court on trespassing, theft, vandalism, and other charges?

Also, if the illegals are illegally dumping trash all over the place, why are they not on charges for that?
