#1 IMHO the first Minuteman to die by a Coyote or ILLEGAL Immigrant will be the trip wire that brings the Feds down on the border but hard.

True but only to protect the kind & innocent migrants from the evil 'Mericans.

#2 if any Minutemen are killed, the government is not going to "send Feds down on the border but hard". The incident will be handled as that Minuteman being blamed for being there in the first place. Our current government is not going to engage in any international incident with Mexico. Illegal immigrants will be a problem for those who feel passionately about it. It's obvious our government doesn't.

#3 Shellback, I don't think that the States could look at it that way and would demand Federal action. It's funny that the Illegal thought that he had some rights trampled on by the Minuteman. I bet by next week some t-shirt shop in Arizona has them all outfitted with extra t-shirts for Illegals.

#5 This situation will slow down considerably with hot weather, then pick up again in the fall. But unless a handle is gotten on it now, it *could* turn into real vigilantism. However, that can mean many things. First of all, the vigilantes could start by posting "Keep Out" signs, warning of all that the vigilantes *might* do. And what the vigilantes *might* do is almost unlimited. It would amount turning the border area into a "danger zone", trying to make it just hazardous enough so that illegals wouldn't risk it--or sharply reducing the numbers willing to try. Just off the top of my head I can think of at least a dozen inexpensive and effective things that would keep people away--make them too frightened. A combination of real threats and psyops.

#8 For the next photo, lace panties would be more appropriate.
