"After being taken to the Border Patrol's station house and being questioned about the incident, the women said they were kept in an area hotel and eventually given the option of staying in the United States until it was time for them to testify against the suspects"

Well, this is indeed sad and speaks volumes for the injustice of the American judicial system.

The men are each facing six counts of aggravated assault and five counts of unlawful imprisonment and one count of conspiracy to commit unlawful imprisonment, after the Yuma County Sheriff's Office said they handcuffed the group of illegal immigrants and held them at gunpoint until Border Patrol agents arrived.

Time for the people to take back the country.

The militia movement is right!!!

These patriots deserve medals for restraining alien invaders!!

The Yuma County sheriff's office are a bunch of un-American bums!

She said the group will most likely not try another illegal entry into the United States because of the incident.

Good! Stay the heck out of my country. And spread the word to your friends and neighbors.

Ocampo did promise to return when it came time to testify, though, saying she wants to make sure Hoffman and Dumas are punished.


"What they did was wrong," she said.

^^
And what you and your traveling companions did was wrong. What punishment are you suffering, lawbreaker?

The two female illegal immigrants who authorities said were detained at gunpoint by three American citizens a week ago said they initially thought the men were U.S. Border Patrol agents. But when two of the men pointed guns at them and the three boys traveling with them, Lorena Ocampo said she knew something was wrong. "(The Border Patrol) doesn't do that to women and children," she said.

.....Which is why they feel they can illegally cross the border with impunity.

Minutes after crossing, the women said they heard a noise and were told to duck down behind some bushes by the 16-year-old smuggler who was guiding them. After waiting for a while, they decided it was safe to continue, Ocampo said.

That's who the government should be going after, not two citizens who are fed up with the inadequacy of the INS. There's going to be more and more of this until something proactive is done to take our nation back from the illegals.

She said they were headed to New York, where they planned to live with family members, get a job and put their children into public school.

Just what we need in New York - more illegal aliens in the schools.

these people did the right thing. these damn immigrants are swamping our roads, my children's schools (that i pay for, thank you) and virtually all other public services. how these people are being charged with a crime is beyond me. i feel like i dont even know my own country anymore.

people who think these people are wrong...your delusional, weak and pathetic. why dont YOU put these people up, let them put their non-English speaking kids in your child's class, pay for their hospital bills? im tired of being walked all over by these damn people. but i have more respect for them than i do for their apologists in the US. after all, theyre only taking advantage of your illogical and unsound "good will".

Protect Arizona Now initiative.

The Arizona taxpayer and citizen act. Our local, state, and federal officials steadfastly refuse to enforce our immigration laws, to the point that America is now overrun with ILLEGAL immigrants.

Hello, these are ILLEGALS! Lock them up or send them back. Jeez, boy scouts could do a better job at securing our borders than the Boarder Patrol.

That one comment speaks volumes about the American government's intentions regarding illegal immigrants.

— The two female illegal immigrants who authorities said were detained at gunpoint by three American citizens a week ago said they initially thought the men were U.S. Border Patrol agents.

APPARENTLY, they KNEW how US Border Patrol agents were SUPPOSED to act/treat them.

Can SOMEONE tell me HOW they KNEW how they were to be treated????

Can SOMEONE tell me HOW an illegal ANYTHING has the right to testify in a LEGAL system????

And lastly, can SOMEONE tell me WHO told the illegals WHAT to expect/WHAT will happen when CAUGHT/ and WHAT LEGAL AUTHORITY verified/reinforced that info????

WHEN do we reach the threshold of illegals before we become ANOTHER third world country????

I called the INS to report illegals at my old job (about 60 of them in all)it came to my attention when I was doing their records and everyone of them claimed 6 (even the 18 year olds) on their W-2's and swapped SS#'s and names every year. I called the INS several times, starting 7 months ago. Nothing is being done still to this day. How can we win in the War On Terror when our elected officials turn the cheek about this growing epidemic. If a Mexican Civilian can slip into the US, I bet a well trained Terrorist can do it pretty easily. Borders, Language and Culture is what defines a Sovereign Nation( We have none).

That pretty much says it all, doesn't it?

My first thought is: what about this can our government not understand?

But then, I remember...they do understand it...and this is not the result they want. They want illegals here...both parties do.

We live in a country where the rule of law is respected and vigilantism should never be encouraged.

Pointing guns at women and children, how disgusting.

So, Americans should be able to get away with anything, as long as the only witnesses are illegal aliens?

"What they did was wrong," she said.

But crossing the border and invading a sovereign nation in direct violation of all it's immigration policies and laws is right?

I have no sympathy for illegal immigrants.

None.

And before one of you stinking bleeding heart liberal warm and fuzzy democrap bozos chime in with your "America needs the diversity." whiney crap, read it again.

I said illegal immigrants.

By all means roll out the red carpet for ILLEGAL aliens. Believe whatever they say after all they are ILLEGAL and thwarting our laws. I say, deport them and block them for entering LEGALLY because of their thwarting OUR laws.
