Unfortunately, most of the locals have been badgered into submission by the advocates for the illegals. Most of the ranchers won't allow the citizen's watch groups onto their land. I don't know if you've ever been to this forest, but its southern border is against Mexico. It's prime land for illegal entry.

It only takes a few private landowners to create a platform for the border groups, and they're already drawing a tremendous amount of attention to the border issues with their actions so far. They can't stop the tide of illegals by themselves, but they can drive public opinion to force the government to take action. That IMO is where the battle needs to be waged, and the border groups need to be acutely aware that their opponents are waiting to pounce on the SLIGHTEST misstep, as this incident aptly demonstrates.
