Those who aid and abet Criminals are as bad
as the criminals.

[Sabertooth]

When our politicians and law enforcement agencies are dedicated to lawlessness on the border, vigilantism will follow.

These guys were just trying to enforce the laws that President Bush won't.

[IronJack]

Human rights groups and Mexican officials have asked U.S. authorities to investigate the border militias ...

But not the passage of illegal aliens across our borders in direct violation of our laws ...

[agitator]

The conducted a citizens arrest upon witnessing a felony crime. Apparently in America, all men are created equal except some men are more equal than others. The more equal ones wear badges.

[weegee]

Even when the guards/vigilantes are on private property with the permission of the property owner (who has already had to endure theft) there have been prosecutions against the guards.

Does this mean that they should shoot to kill instead of detaining them? After all, the law permits you to shoot thieves on your property in Texas. I find that detaining people and letting them live is much preferable but it would seem that the law frowns on this.

[Pro-Bush]

Simcox said over the past year his group has turned over more than 2,000 undocumented immigrants to the Border Patrol.

At least some good news from this article. I guess they went overboard when they hand-cuffed them. They were just doing what the President said to do... that is watch out and report suspicious activity.

ordered to perform 360 hours of community service

It seems to me they were performing a community service before, so do you think that goober judge will allow them to perform 360 hours of border patrol as "commnunity service?"

[SAMWolf]

When the governemnet encourages illegal aliens how dare the citizens try and stop it on their own!! < /sarcasm>

[Gringo1]

So in a nutshell these guys go to jail for enforcing laws that the feds refuse to enforce?

And that the law of the land only applies to American citizens and not illegal immigrants?


Sheesh.....I'm moving to another country.

[Timesink]

This, by the way, is why you should NEVER attempt a citizen's arrest of anyone for any reason. In most places, if your arrest turns out to have been a mistake, you'll be the one going to jail for unlawful imprisonment.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Excuse me, your Honor, but you are already persecuting these gentlemen for doing a very important community service. THey were busy cleaning up the trash that Mexico ceaselessly dumps over onto our side of the border.

Picking up trash, hardly makes one a vigilante.

THey were just doing the job for free that you and your ilk will not allow those being paid to do it to do.

[Political Junkie Too]

Mexican officials have asked U.S. authorities to investigate the border militias,

Can't we tell Mexico that we're just doing on our southern border what they do on their southern border?

[dennisw]

Makes me wanna hurl !!! This is rubber stamping the invasion of American sovereignty by a worthless 3rd world pest hole.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

One of the prosecuting attorneys was named orozco. What was the judges name? Anybody know?

[MissAmericanPie]

He needs to bring charges against the judge for unlawful detainment and sentencing, take it to the Supreme Court then on to the SCOUS. Someone needs to kick this case up a knotch.

[TLI]

Beatriz Chavez, a spokeswoman for the Mexican consulate in Yuma, praised the sentencing.


"To see someone pointing a gun at you is very scary, and they were really defenseless because they were just women and children," Chavez said.



I absolutly agree, but I don't think Beatriz is willing to comment on THIS little event.

Everyday American citizens are killed, raped, robbed by illegal aliens. Everyday.
