The vigilantes say they plan to outfit each UAV with a global positioning device to pinpoint migrants, and then forward hose coordinates to the Border Patrol.
Great...the border patrol shows up with a WATER BUCKET, MAP, COMPASS and a pat on the back. (Thats IF the border patrol shows at all).

I can't speak for California, but here in Arizona the Border Patro does show up 95% of the time. The other 5% is when they have flat out run out of agents and transport.
(However, if you want to criticize and lynch their management, Ill bring the rope.)
Their search and rescue team operates in an area God gave to Satan for special punishments. Remember the desert scenes in Star Wars? Part were filmed in Tunisia on the edge of the Sahara desert -- the rest right around Yuma, Arizona.

Area residents say the drones invade their privacy and foster poor cross-border relations.Uh, just which 'area' residents is Reuters talking about? The Mexican border-flouting coyotes, by chance???
"The Mexican populations along the border are indignant," said Miguel Escobar, a Mexican Foreign Ministry official based in Arizona.
Again, which SIDE of the border is indignant? And, ahem, what about the 'American populations', and don't 'border relations' require two sides views being taken into account...where is the 'American' side???
Ray Borane, mayor of the border town of Douglas, Ariz., said the group's activities are racist.
Is this guy even a real citizen?? And if so, can we say he calls Al Gore his President? And if the 'activity' of defending a border is 'racist' is he then calling Mexican Nationals some particular RACE???! And evidently he is inherently calling the INS racist as well. Sounds to me like he might have the rascism problem...

Now why would I get the suspicion that some of our more electronically-talented FReepers were busy recently? LOL! Great job, whoever started this ball rolling!

"she thinks YOU should think that the ABP is a bunch of vigilantes."And that is where she failed. Not only with me, but with anyone that is familiar with the issue. It was a negative move on her part because those in the area know that ABP members are not vigilantes. That eventuality seems to have been lost on her as she is residing and writing out of that area. The ABP members she is calling vigilantes are mostly prior military that know their rights, the boundaries of the law, are fed up with the fed not making good on their own laws and are doing something about it. There are others doing the same here in Texas and went to jail over it, but that issue is probably rooted in corruption of local LEA.
Too bad Ms. Deborah Tedford can't comment on the dirty cops, it would be much more interesting.
