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.

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

Frustrating, isn't it?

[CWOJackson]

Not at all. It's the same argument you would make if a group of armed vigilantes came upon your wife and children and demanded their papers. And if you wife decided that she did not have to answer to these people, as they have no legal authority whatsoever to make this demand, and they decided to point their weapons at her and your children then cuff them...

What would your response be then?

1) Why Honey, you and the kids had no business being in an area where armed vigilantes are questioning people.

2) Gee Honey, you and the kids should have simply shown the men in civilian clothing and no badges your papers and they would have let you go about your business.

3) Hey Hun, if the government was doing it's job you and the kids wouldn't have been scared to death; get over it.

Now me, I'm just going to be very, very angry. And those people who did that to my wife and children are going to wish deeply that their mothers had believe in choice and elected it over giving them birth.
