I’ve got to admit, your words strike home, but I have to ask: what can the individual citizen do to change the situation? The kind of force or power that could have an impact requires a large, well-organized body of people, not individuals driving down to the border with no aim, no organization, no plan. And the catch-22 is that, if you tried to organize anything that looked like an armed force, the government would descend on you with its vast overwhelming power and resources.
I’m not disagreeing with you, but one still has to deal with the reality of the situation and it is daunting, to say the least. Going down there as individuals is not the opposite of cowardice; it is simply empty bravado as well.
This “government” cannot secure 2200+ miles of border, yet they are going to come against American with “overwhelming force?”
An “well-regulated” - meaning well trained and practiced - armed individual is more than capable of the task.
Moreover, once the word gets out that individual Americans are taking upon themselves the duty to “do the work government won’t do,” you would be surprised to discover how many Americans would likely follow that course of action.
Think of how long many of us have chomped at the bit over this issue.
Many individuals would suddenly feel some steel in their spines, and proceed to their duty, as citizen militia - which was and remains the point of having a Second Amendment in the first place.
How many here continue to complain about our dependency on government - welfare, etc ... but then think nothing about leaving the defense of the nation wholly in the hands of that very government they have come so much to distrust and even hold with contempt!
One man with courage can change a nation.
