The answer is not much.

"It is our duty to alert our citizens to the danger of armed vigilantes here," - Bertha de la Rosa, director of Grupo Beta in the border town of Aguaprieta (Houston Chronicle)

They are not out there trying to stop them from crossing and breaking the laws of the United States but rather are simply out there "warning" their citizens. To make it worse, there is that "vigilante" word again.

Ok, to all the people with lower than 50 IQ south of the border and in America please note that they are not vigilantes. The ultimate authority to uphold law in this country rests within its citizenry.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Sound familiar? It should. It is the second amendment.

And what does the second amendment say? It says that the security of the United States rests with the citizens which is why they are allowed to keep and bear arms.

DUH!

Police, the courts and all other structures of government that we normally think of as the "law" are only there to ensure that rights are not violated and that justice is served after the fact. They have very little to do with actually preventing crime.

Is the man that reports the description of a bank robber and his get away car to authorities a "vigilante"? No. Is a woman that puts a 9mm slug in her rapist's head a "vigilante"? No. Why is that?

Because vigilantes are "a volunteer committee organized to suppress and punish crime summarily" (Websters Dictionary). None of these people are "volunteer" anything. Rather they are conscripted to this duty by the wording of the second amendment. All citizens are charged as their duty of being Americans to provide for "the security of a free State".

So enough with the "vigilante" word. Don't be ignorant.

Another thought. Don't we have treaties with Mexico? Anything in them about not helping to undermine the sovereignty of America? There has to be.

To add salt to the exposed and bleeding wound exposed by the Minutemen there is now scuttlebutt about a similar project in the works for the Texas border. Oh the humanity! Heaven forbid we protect our borders.
