There are 500 posts talking about this. We have pretty much gone over this story from your angle. The counter point is that some of us do not believe armed civilians should be arresting mothers and children. That is the job of the INS and border patrol.
Now, you may say the border patrol is not doing its job, and I would say my local police dept. is not enforcing the seatbelt laws...but if I attempted to stop cars with my gun and start writing tickets, I too could expect to be charged with assault. Individuals should not enforce their interpretation of our laws on other people.

I do not think it was just thier interpretation. They are not trying to enforce laws on other people. Just one law on the people that broke it.
Once this problem has been addressed by whatever means, a moratorium on ALL immigration, from ALL contries would be OK by me for 10 years or so.
The politician on both sides of the isle better get some new batteries for thier hearing aids real quick before this gets ugly(ier).
