Vigilantism erodes justice.

What would you propose instead of citizens' arrest in this situation? You're quick to criticize but you're not offering any suggestions as to how we can solve this problem. Or do you think we should have open borders? I see the border militias as a form of civil disobedience. It comes with a price, but the accused are putting their freedom and safety on the line to get our attention. They are already starting to pay for it. But they are acting in the common interest and apparently with deeply held convictions. How can we obviate the need for their protest?

Since you asked, I am in favor of instituting a bracero-type program again to bring in those who choose to work in North America. Once the work is completed the guest workers are sent home.

Yes. I was thinking the same thing. In a previous thread about this, one of the guys arrested said he was sick about illegals just walking over our unprotested borders. Well so am I and many others.

The "lack of border enforcement" situation is getting so bad that some patriotic guys are willing to do what maybe considered desparate acts.
