Sounds like it's time to hold an election. What's the attitude of the local community?

What's the attitude of the local community?

Come again?.

If this occured in California 80% of the community would be Hispanic and 20% would be unregulated aliens.

[TLI]

The attitude of the community may be one thing, I would like to know if the attitude of the RANCHERS in that area is somthing above bezerk-frothing-at-the-mouth. They are the major taxpayers/employers in the area and have the most to loose. If the "other side" of theis issue is allowed to win round 1, they (the LEO's, sheriff, dept. sheriff, border patrol and Texas rangers) will adopt the attitude that all trying to defend their property, lives and family will only be allowed to do so with the grudging permision of the said LEo's. That $uck$ a$$.

The ranchers can and still have the support of RR, even ON-SIGHT support just as before, plus even more of it... but they as the landowners are gonna HAVE to get in the game. They are gonna have to make noise at the Local, State and Federal level. Not just a few but all the ranchers on the border for continous stretchs of 50 to 100 miles. It can be done, and done easily.

It will be the ranchers forming their own Range Guard Association structure that is continus from fence to fence for the support elements of Ranch Rescue to beef up when that kind of assistance becomes necessary.
