The Constitution says if there is tyranny it is the citizens duty to defend America.
-
If protecting one's nation's borders makes me an extremist than I'm an extremist sympathizer.
-
They’re not vigilantes … they’re Americans protecting our country !
-
Thanks to everyone who's helping with this!
-
I DONT CONSIDER THEM VIGILANTES, I CALL THEM CONCERNED AMERICANS!!! THEY KNOW THE CONSTITUTION!!!!
-
People who complain about these guys protecting our border are the problem, these guys need more support.
-
Any American citizen has the right to defend their country from an outside threat to our nation, as a citizen of the US I don't have to ask permission to defend my homeland and neither should they!

The formation of militias to protect our country from illegal invaders is constitutionally protected.

Who would have ever thought that one day we would reach a point where wanting to secure the Borders of The United States would be considered a bad thing. What has this country become.

S/o to the locals taking it into their own hands. That’s their community and every community needs its protectors.
-
If the law won’t protect the citizens the citizens must protect themselves
-
Don’t call them “vigilantes” or “extremist groups! If the federal government is NOT securing the border, WE the Militia nation MUST do it.
-
The camo guy intellectually SMOKED your purview at the end there lol. If he had a mic that would be an epic moment to drop it.
-
When you grow up living on the border and people are jumping into your backyard along with border patrol shining lights into your backyard it gets frustrating. A person won’t understand they live it
-
Thank God we’ve got people willing to do this because our government abandoned us.
-
This is EXACTLY what the citizen militia is for !!! " Security of a FREE state" Well done guys !
-
In essence he is aiding the wrong people with the water . Apparently it's hard for him to comprehend
