In a Texas Border Town, Armed Groups Arrive to Look for Migrants

[Otis Mayfield]

BRACKETTVILLE, Texas—As this South Texas border county has seen a jump in illegal border crossings, Sheriff Brad Coe is cooperating with groups of armed private citizens to help patrol the border and arrest migrants for trespassing.

The Kinney County sheriff has been in regular contact for months with a group of men donning body armor and rifles while patrolling to look for migrants. Another armed group offered use of a high-tech drone, and went on a patrol along with the sheriff. It has also pursued potential partnerships with private security firms.

A new Texas law allows migrants to be arrested for trespassing and has attracted such groups, and local officials are either offering tacit support or openly welcoming them. The groups say they aim to stop the migrants they find and pass them off to law enforcement to arrest.
Mr. Coe, a former Border Patrol agent, said he is looking for any help he can get in trying to drive migrant traffic elsewhere.

A Texas law that allows migrants coming into the U.S. illegally to be arrested for trespassing has drawn armed, private citizens from around the country, in some cases welcomed by county officials.

Do you think it's a good idea to have citizens look for illegal immigrants along the border?

Note the sheriff says there's no way they'll stop the illegal immigrant traffic, they just want to move the traffic away from town.

Good idea? Armed Americans should be at the border driving the invaders back with live fire, land mines and hand grenades,

Its about time...defend your country...

Pass this bill and the dems will stop working so hard to bring illegals into America....

It does not hurt my feelings in any way. The illegal aliens, could just decide to stay home, so it's their choice in how they meet the inhabitants of the country they illegally sneak into. If they want to meet hardcore assholes first, it might be a good thing, letting them know they are not wanted and some people take it personal when they have their lands trespassed. I've been a hunter during my life. Lots of people's land is posted "Keep Out". You had best pay attention. It is not a new concept to me and if you do accidentally innocently stray following the dogs on their trail or the deer you shot on your side, some of the people you meet can be and often are armed and can be assholes whether in the right or not.

[basquebromance]

these cartels and "migrants" are taking on the wrong state. don't mess with Texas

 

[1srelluc]

I take no issue with it. American citizens have every right (and a duty) to protect the country from invaders even if Tater & Co. don't see the illegals as such.

They're not "migrants"....They're fucking invaders.

Nope.. Vigilantes are never a good idea. Is Texas too poor to hire more trained border patrol?

Essentially we are talking about people with a vested interest in this situation; unfortunately this group of people have a negative view about the undocumented immigrants. This could give rise to vigilantism and is a recipe for disaster.

Vigilantism works. We just need more of it.

 

[Stann]

Right

Vigilantism works. We just need more of it.

Right, or should I say Far Right. Yes all we need on the border is more emotionally-invested people to complicate the situation. Kyle Rittenhouse is the best example of why this is not a good reason. You could multiply his stupidity by a hundred or a thousand times on the border and in the end it resolves nothing.

That's like saying, " There's nothing wrong with the seven deadly sins, we just need more of them. "

Kyle Rittenhouse is a stellar example of a successful vigilante. Two of the miscreants attacking Kenosha are dead and won't do it anymore. Every invader killed breaking into this country is one we won't have to educate, medicate or incarcerate. To paraphrase, every homeowner along the border should have a throne of invader skulls.

Make that the law and see if they still come.

So a malcontent kills 2 people that you call " miscreants " and you think that's a good thing. His case could have easily went in the other direction. People who hate undocumented immigrants will be less likely to treat them fairly and more likely to create more atrocities and injustices on the border. Their crimes will not be viewed in the same light.

Invaders don't deserve fairness. They deserve to be shot on sight. Dig out the bullet. When the bodies are left for food you don't want an innocent animal eating lead bullets.

If I were in charge no one would be taken into custody. Men shot. Women sent to the middle east as jihad brides. Children returned.

That does it, when you called them Invaders. In your mind you think you have a right to shoot them, even thinking it's justified. You and people like you should never be allowed anywhere near the border with that kind of attitude. You're actually insane, the hatred has driven you crazy.

I have been to the border, several times and seen the misery the invasion has caused. There should be a right to shoot them, trap them or chase them until their hearts give out.

You are certifiably insane.
