Asking a group to stay put while making a phone call is permitted and would constitute a citizen's arrest, he said.

Y'all just stand there for a while while I make a call.

As someone else posted on this thread, that is exactly what he has done many times. His gun stays in its holster and he's never had any problems obeying the law.

Bump to read later.

Your entire rant looks like it was produced by the National Council of La Raza or that bunch of Ford Foundation lackeys at MALDEF. Sickening, really.

[Turbo Pig]

If the government were doing it's job, then these vigilantes would not feel the need to step up and do something.

When the government refuses to enforce the laws of the land and protect the sovreignty of the contry, then the people are well within their rights to enfoce them and/or force a change in the government through any means neccessary.

"Citizens could be carrying any number of things. The least of which are drugs or small explosives. How about highly contagious diseases. TB, SARS, this list could be quite long. It is good to know that Tom Ridge can count on your suport when random strip searches are conducted in your neighborhood. Anybody ever tell you "you look French?"

Uh...yeah, that's on topic. What does this comment have to do with illegals circumventing this countries ports of entry?

The FR Drug Warrior clique is imploding before our eyes on this thread. :-)

Post #235 has been removed; what was the beef?

[jmc813]

The border patrol has the legal authority, and the proper training/experience, to stop people and challenge them.

That's the same logic gun-grabbers use when arguing that only the police and military should have guns.

[jmc813]

Boozed up weekend warriors do dumb things.

Provide evidence that any citizen border patrol volunteer has been intoxicated while patroling.

[Libertina]

What happened to "citizen's arrest." If you held a burglar until the cops showed up it would be OK. What on earth is going on in this country?

[sandydipper]

The Feds can't do it - so?

[Once-Ler]

I would say this: I believe that any nation that wants to control its borders can do so.

We can. It will require a 20 foot reinforced and electrified barrier with razor wires around the border and patrols by armed soldiers with night vision goggles. It will require the gunning down of families that escape to our country, if they refuse to stop or they don't understand the words "halt and put your hands in the air or you will be fired at." It will require a dictator who can ignore the pleas of his countrymen to "have some compassion" (you may want to forget America's reaction when Elian was sent back, but it doesn't change the political fact that most Americans have hearts and souls.) It will require the Patriot III-IX acts, incredible violations of our privacy, a huge government database, and a national ID.

Closing the borders is not worth the price. It would be better to do what Dubya has proposed. Like Reagan, Dubya has proposed amnesty for working families, tougher enforcement of current laws for criminals, increasing the flow of legal immigration, and free trade to prevent families from wanting to leave Mexico. It may not be a perfect solution but it is far better than closing the door to the shining city. I am sure that your predecessors would agree.

My entire rant is beautiful. Much like this one from Ronald Reagan

“I’ve spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don’t know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and heart to get there. That’s how I saw it, and see it still.”
Farewell Address to the Nation, January 11, 1989

You cannot see the beauty in this quote because your heart and soul are black and evil.

Have a nice day :)

Your buddy Ronnie is responsible for signing the outrageous 1986 amnesty which let to the nightmare we are experiencing today. Seek professional help. You appear to be in dire need of it.

What does this have to do with illegals circumventing this countries ports of entry? They are your words. All I did was change the word illegals to citizens. I agree they are not pertinent to this topic except if you are a slack jawed racist. I didn't want to call you that. I prefer you point it out yourself. Thank you very much.

Have a nice day.

You don't like Ronald Reagan Tancredo Fan? I bet Tancredo likes Ronald Reagan, and you can bet Reagan is a hero to me.

Reagan too much of a RINO for you Evil One? I could use a good laugh please respond more.

Good point. But don't look for it to be acknowledged anytime soon.

Frustrating, isn't it?

[moehoward]

I suppose your comments may anger some. But once the source is considered, it's just sadly comedic.
