I might have a problem with that kind of program. Would you want your neighbors reporting "suspected illegals" on your property and agents showing up looking for them? I think the government can get rid of criminal aliens without intruding on citizen's rights by cleaning out the Social Security number databases and deporting those trying to access government services, deporting those committing other crimes like DWI, shoplifting, etc.

I would too - however, if the INS has such a program, it would further erode BlackElk's position that these groups are operating illegally, if in turn the INS is encouraging people to report suspected illegal aliens. I'm just covering all the bases here.

I see ----I don't see how those groups can be operating illegally because they seem to be staying well within the law and Americans have a right to protect their private property. Those groups would be over-stepping if they were blocking highways or going onto private property without the owner's permission but that doesn't seem to be the case at all. To say the groups are operating illegally would mean Americans cannot be on US soil but that foreigners can freely invade the same US soil.

Here's an interesting case ---but they've been arrested, I'm not sure what they were up to but they were operating in the border area.

They called real police for back up but apparently were arrested for enforcing the law.
