The lack of action on border security from the Obama administration has prompted a wide variety of responses. State officials close to the situation in Texas and Arizona have called for federal assistance but have received little response, leaving them to do what they can with their own resources.
Civilian protestors have coordinated to challenge the transportation of illegal immigrants throughout the country by Department of Homeland Security agents. Other civilians, organized into militia groups, have moved troops to Arizona and Texas to assist in closing a border that the federal government seems content to leave open despite the growing violence.
Now California militia members have united with their comrades in Texas to support state efforts, challenge Obamas apathy, and assist in securing the nations southern border.
From Fox News:
Free Republic founder Jim Robinson posted this on the popular conservative internet forum on Friday evening.
We have independent units from the Bolinas Border Patrol and the Central Valley Citizens militia joining forces with independent citizens militia units of Texas to defend our southern border in Texas, to protest Obamas lawless open borders policies and to rally support for Governor Perry to officially call out Guard units and Texas militia units at his disposal to defend the border!! Lawsuits will not cut it. The invasion is happening now. Action must be taken NOW!!
Lawsuits have indeed been threatened, and more will no doubt come as this president and his administration continue to ignore their duty, trample on the rights of Americans, and flout both the law and the Constitution.
Under the guise of humanitarianism, Obama is cynically using the hopes of tens of thousands of immigrants for his own personal gain, despite the dire consequences for them and for his own citizens.
Closing the border with civilian militia may not be the optimal manner in which to address the growing border crisis. But it certainly tops the alternative which, from the Washington Obamacrats, appears to be nothing.
Please share this article on Facebook and Twitter if you support civilian efforts to close the border in lieu of federal action.
That will amount to a drop in the bucket. Mostly for show. Until the day they’re able to empty out those Federal camps inside the states, it’ll be a waste of time, effort and money.
>> this is exactly what the government wants, a showdown
Prior to reading the article and your post, I was thinking how the Left is working very hard at balkanizing the Country.
Also IMHO, the DHS thugs who are aiding and abetting illegal aliens at our southern border, and the TSA thugs groping children and 80 year old ladies in our airports, are cut from the same cloth and received the same twisted “training” prior to reporting to their duty stations.
Where’s my tinfoil hat?!
Sheriff, feds: Rancher must be held accountable Don't be surprised if Cliven Bundy gets a loud 'knock' in the middle of the night.
or a loud “boom” in the middle of the night”
Quick; someone come-up with a hashtag (or whatever it is) for this...
THANK YOU JIMROB!!!
Murrieta, California is about to become this century’s Lexington & Concord. The Feds are going in with jackbooted heavies with riot shields to protect the next bus convoy of illegals, & they don’t care what anyone thinks.
‘Bout to get ugly, folks. And militia people, watch out for spies & saboteurs in your ranks. Govags will attempt provocations to justify crackdowns against armed citizens.
federal agents and riot squads on the way to Murrieta to ‘handle’ protesters as per Breitbart Texas
The bundy ranch episode was barely a blip compared to this.
the federal government has no right to foist on states, cities and citizens the bills for welfare, health care, spread of disease, etc these lawbreakers will bring. lawbreakers who would be deported if the fed were doing its job properly.
This tyranny cannot be allowed to stand.

Obama is making war on law abiding citizens to protect illegal lawbreakers. This country has never sunk so low. Shame on the american people for re-electical this tyrannical dictator. I can only hope a bundy style showdown is coming, because this is utterly intolerable.
it is essential that sate LEO get involved immediately to back these LAW ABIDING protesters! if they have any LOVE OF COUNTRY they will arrest and detain any federal thug that gets in the way or oversteps his/her boundary in any way shape or form! (actually fedz overstepped long ago)

Cameras are just as important, if not more so, than the rifles being taken to the border crossings...
Like I said before, the cartels and other human trafficking organizations are going to take some pretty good pot shots at those standing right on the shoreline...
It is what I would do to make the militias look really bad...
They will probably send a group of illegals over, right near civilian militia positions, and shoot them from their side o the border, and get to the news media first saying it was the militia on our side that fired at the illegals...
So for all intents and purposes, this already has the look of being ugly (for our side) before it really gets implemented...
Be prepared for the backlash that is coming...
If they are doing it in California, you can bet the Feds in Texas, along the border, will be ready to do their thing as well...
Maybe Perry will have to call the guard in to maintain order...They will not be on our side at all...
Exactly. Well said.
....”Under the guise of humanitarianism, Obama is cynically using the hopes of tens of thousands of immigrants for his own personal gain, despite the dire consequences for them and for his own citizens”....
Worded exactly and politically correct!
Concern the “crazies” that love nothing more than showing up will be there as well as the patriots. Might get messy.
I believe our side has learned a few lessons on that aspect...I am confident the filters have been put into place, and some screenings are in work...
I suspect we are not going there to make mud patties, and our purpose is obviously clear...
Time for games is long over...
Game players need to rethink their intentions...
Hurrah! USAians are defending their country!
