Photos show border militias moving across Texas

Photos showing dozens of members of the militia groups on the U.S.-Mexico border carrying semi-automatic rifles and wearing masks, camouflage and tactical gear provide one of the first glimpses into the group's activities on the border.

Members of the militia groups, who say they have 10 active "teams" along the state's southern border, are seen at campsites, walking along the Rio Grande River, pointing rifles and pistols out of frame and flipping off the camera in the photos obtained by the San Antonio Express-News.

A spokesperson for the group provided the photos under the condition that members' faces be blurred because of fear of being identified by "cartel and gang members."

One of the photos shows a Border Patrol agent leaning through an armed militia member's vehicle window and pointing on a map. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection earlier this month strongly rebuked the group's presence on the border but did not return multiple requests for comment regarding the photo.

I agree. Bullets would be a great discouragement. However, there are those who live in this country who would conspire to do harm in the country. I am not smart enough to know where that would go.

Come 9/11/14, I expect there will be a flurry of RPGs shooting down airliners at 10 or so airports expecting to bring the USA to its knees. This is all Obama’s doing!

Border Patrol management is rebuking the “vigilantes” and you can be sure their rank-and-file’s in-boxes have been stuffed with memos and such.
And here’s a BP agent leaning in a vehicle and giving driving instructions to these old boys, and maybe arranging for a beer summit at the closest road house so the agents can tell some horror stories about the last several years trying to do a job they would be able to do, if it wasn’t designed to fail.

The powers that be want blood on the border. They want to kick start a war. Old Chinese curse someone said here recently, May you get what you seek.

There is no other way to stop this invasion. These people only respect power, power from the end of a gun. Either we stop them now or we take the mark. I aint taking the mark. God will understand.

Send the militias to Washington D.C. - There is the source of problem. Fumigate the rat’s nest in D.C., and we will no longer need militia on the border. Our BP agents will than have a fighting chance to do their jobs.

Frankly, we should declare war on Mexico, invade with overwhelming force so to crush the drug cartels, and then remove the corrupt Mexican government from power. Mexico is a genuine threat to America’s sovereignty and security - more so than Iraq, Al Qaeda, Isis and Iran combined.

But ... as we now have a treasonous, usurping, sodomite Muslim POS in charge of our military, a cabal of demented psychopaths running the Senate, and a harem of castrated eunuchs for representatives in the House ... we might as well just take down the flag, turn off the lights, and write our own epitaph.

I lived in Marin for 30 years and Bolinas was always famous for trying to avoid visits by tourists. They took down the road signs so that people couldn’t find b
Bolinas.
Just wish our border was the same. We could post misdirection signs to illegals.

Zer0 knows that without the rule of law, people will resort to taking matters into their own hand. It is done by design to get those you oppose to react. When they react, they give Zer0 the excuse he wants to pull a Branch Dividian tyoe hit on them. You saw what happened when cattle rancher Cliven Bundy opposed the government that had gone too far. I was struck by the level of military muscle that came down for something that should have been resolved with a little flexibility. Zer0 is aching for a confrontation with the conservative citizens. The Left in this country are on his side and would love to see Zer0’s thugs blow away those “Tea Baggers.” This is what happens when your political strategy is to polarize our nation and set the stage for revolution.

Not sure exactly what you”re saying. More militias, more incidents, more jail time, more people invading?
