We must ensure that our illegal aliens are able to illegally immigrate in a manner that is seen as fair and legal.

[BenLurkin]

There is something terribly, horribly wrong with our so-called leaders in government.

"[Last] weekend we were notified by a Border Patrol supervisor that the word has come down directly from Washington

Feds harassing citizen border groups?

Well, I think the Feds are just being PC. After all, our country seems to be running on mega amounts of PC. I know it sucks, but that is just the way it is.

[Arpege92]

Yes, I agree....illegal's entering this country should be treated with respect and honor. NOT!!

Question: "Feds harassing citizen border groups?"

Response: Yes.

Comment: Too large of a potential voting pool of illegals out there. Bush is thinking "If I can only sway 1/2 of 1% I can have another 4 years of cheers, applause and pretty military uniforms!"

[joesnuffy]

none of the migrants are treated badly, harmed or held against their will.

Ya leave these potential Hispanic sympathetic inducing votes alone ya big bullies after all they are merely "migrating" like the swallows of Capistrano

Then why bother with paying for border patrols and send that tax money to expand the welfare rolls, ugh.

Ethnic activists want to destroy the nation's borders, and they'll do anything they can to try to bring that about," said Stein.

After all its more votes for the social handout party.

With the outrageous and staggering population flow of illegal aliens into the U.S., one ponders, with great frustration, whether we can ever stem the flow.

[zoen]

The borders will not be closed/protected until someone comes across with a big enough bomb to make the government address the issue. There playing a game of chance with our lives for there cheap labor and political correctness.

Thanks to the citizens taking this into there own hands and the feds that harass them can go jump a lake. Or get on the side of protecting this country and not so dam ILLEGAL alien.

Close to an election year, that's all---pandering--

[The impetus for the phone call to deputies, Simcox says, is to ensure none of the migrants are treated badly, harmed or held against their will.

CHD, like Texas-based Ranch Rescue and a handful of local residents in southwestern states, "patrol" sections of the U.S./Mexico border with an eye toward deterring illegal entry. Oftentimes, groups encounter migrants that have entered illegally already inside the U.S.; when that happens, the groups usually summon nearby Border Patrol offices so agents can pick them up and process them back to their country of origin.

But in recent months, perhaps due to increased pressure from pro-immigrant rights groups and attorneys, volunteers like Simcox say there has been stepped-up scrutiny of their activities by local and federal officials. They claim Washington's goal is to get the groups to stop intercepting and detaining illegals.

But, he said, "forced detention can also be viewed as a criminal offense./B>]

Guess these geniuses never heard of "Citzen's Arrest", a common law practixce that is legal inh all states, which permits forced detention. Of course, all of this would be unnecessary if the Bush administration would do it's PRIMARY JOB and protect our border security.

There is something terribly, horribly wrong with our so-called leaders in government

Something really , terribly, horribly wrong with all branches of government.

The below passage is from the recently approved H.R. 2673.

Provided further, That of the amount appropriated for rural utilities programs, not to exceed $25,000,000 shall be for water and waste disposal systems to benefit the Colonias along the United States/Mexico border, including grants pursuant to section 306C of such Act; not to exceed $17,465,000 shall be for technical assistance grants for rural water and waste systems pursuant to section 306(a)(14) of such Act, of which $5,513,000 shall be for Rural Community Assistance Programs and not to exceed $13,000,000 shall be for contracting with qualified national organizations for a circuit rider program to provide technical assistance for rural water systems:

And now, they are harassing Americans defending our border. Something the people in Washington have no interest in doing.

[PatrioticAmerican]

What many don't know is that it is not an illegal act to cross our borders. It is an "administrative procedure" to remove an illegal, not a criminal one. Hence, they cannot be detained against their will, even though this is all an invasion.

[TexasCowboy]

We must stop using this phrase, "illegal aliens".
It's very offensive to our Southern neighbors.
They're being invited in, so how can they be "illegal"?
They're not from Mars, so how can they be "alien"?
We should have several Welcome Wagons on patrol at the Rio Grande with food, medicine and ten thousand dollars to give to each man, woman and child who enters to give them a start in life in America.
I think the ones who are already here who didn't receive a welcome should sue for reparations.
We hurt their feelings, and we should have to pay!

What is the law in AZ? If someone is on your property illegally, but unarmed, what actions can you take against them?
