This kind of bothers me. This is about a group of citizens who have volunteered to patrol the Mexican border. They may have good intentions but it seems to me this is the kind of thing that could get out of control very quickly. Supposedly, they won't apprehend any illegal aliens but will merely report their goings on to authorities. Why the Hell then do some of think they need guns? I picture a pickup truck full of beer bellied hicks doing donuts in the sand and throwing empty Budweiser cans over the border fence. Cooter is in the bed of the truck waving the rebel flag. Pedro peaks his head over the border fence and Carl lowers his deer rifle. BAM! "Damn,' Carl says, "I thought that was a hoot owl." Guffaws.
Those that "volunteer" for these types of endeavors seem to be people that don't have enough authority over others in their lives (rental cops) so they get involved in policing type activities to gain the power they so desperately desire. It makes them feel important. They can exert this "power" over the helpless Mexicans who cross the border and they are no longer at the bottom of the food chain.
Maybe next there will be volunteer groups to do the policing in your cities. Why pay cops when Earl and Jessie will do your policing for a six pack of Old Milwaukee? A militia forms. They are only there for your protection, to watch over you and makes sure everyone obeys their law. Oops, did I say their law? Silly me

I can see doing it for Milwaukee's Best Light, but not Old Milwaukee. Don't insult me.
Too bad these guys, who all live by the border, have such little faith in our ability to keep dangerous people out. The border seems to be as porous as the security at the Lee Harvey Oswald prison transfer.
While I agree there's a chance something will go wrong when you get a "volunteer" group together like this, (some armed) I hope the message it sends is clear - do something about illegal immigration. This country is like a fully stocked bank vault with no lock, and Barney Fife at the door.
Yeah, our borders are pretty bad. We need more money allocated for such matters. I wonder how secure our borders would be if some of the 300 billion spent in Iraq was used for this purpose? A gnat dressed in camouflage probably wouldn't be able to get through...
I can't fault the Mexican people for trying to cross the border. If I were in their position I would try to do the same. As I see it the primary concern with border patrol is that someone with the intent to terrorize the US could make it through.
What the hell is MALITIA? Do you mean Militia? thats how we spell it here on earth genius.
Are you dyslexic? I didn't misspell militia and even if I did so what? I'm sure you never made a typo in your life. Go back to your bottle of Mad Dog. Your daughter/wife is in the only other room in your house cleaning between her two front teeth with the cord to the TV set.
I would be the dolt with the spelling problem. BUT at 2am I was doing pretty good to be writing at all. Next time I will bust out the spell check for the English Nazis.
Yes, perhaps it is Boone's Farm...And unhand the pixie chick you bastard. If she is not out of that crawl space and in the back of my pickup truck by noon I'm going to come after you with my Chihuahuas. If you value the meat on your ankles you'll heed my warning...how many spelling errors was that?
I hope - I just HOPE - you guys aren't making light of Boone's Farm. Country Kwencher (sp?) is one of my favorite table wines.
I don't care how it's spelled the Kwencher is a damn fine table wine. Of course wine of this grade isn't sold by the year but by the week. If you have a six week old bottle you've really got a treat on your hands...
Craig, I never even noticed you misspelled militia. It shows how good I am at spelling!
Angela noticed he misspelled militia and just wanted to start trouble, guess it worked. That was fun.
i'd shoot a man for a beer, but not for the beast... not for the beast.
Angela! You caused me much confusion. Maybe you should be put in the crawl space under the trailer. And no, you won't get a bottle of Boone's Farm to keep you company. Craig you can blame this all on Angela. Don't worry we'll get her back.
Just tell me when & where then we will have our revenge on the evil Borg Angela. Resistance is futile.
i want to join the militia! sign me up to shoot brown people, yay!
