Thousands of Migrants Head to U.S. Border
#53
They're still coming by the thousands Folks, and even with governors declaring a state of emergency in New Mexico (and I believe Texas did too), the DemoRats refuse to work on a solution.

Do you want to know the real reason they want illegals coming in? It's not because they're all about diversity, love, and open arms; it's because they need their votes to ever win another election.
People should realize this after the fuss they put up about having the overflow taken to sanctuary cities/states. They don't want them in their towns, but it's okay to send them to ours.  OPEN YOUR EYES!!   minusculeheadbanging 

Okay, rant over.

One group took things into their own hands when they saw that the Border Patrol agents were being overwhelmed and decided to pitch in and help, however, the FBI arrested the leader, Larry Hopkins. 


Quote:TAOS, N.M. (Reuters) - The FBI on Saturday said it had arrested Larry Hopkins, the leader of an armed group that is stopping undocumented migrants after they cross the U.S.-Mexico border into New Mexico.

The arrest came two days after the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) accused the group of illegally detaining migrants and New Mexico's Democratic Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham ordered an investigation.

Hopkins, 69, also known as Johnny Horton, was arrested in Sunland Park, New Mexico, on a federal complaint charging him with being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a statement.
"We're not worried about it, he's going to be cleared," said Jim Benvie, a spokesman for the United Constitutional Patriots (UCP), blaming his arrest on political pressure from Lujan Grisham.
Hopkins is the "national commander" of the UCP, which has had around half a dozen members camped out on a rotating basis near Sunland Park since late February.

PATRIOTS OR FASCISTS?
The UCP describes itself as a "patriot group" helping U.S. Border Patrol cope with record numbers of Central American families crossing the border to seek asylum.
Dressed in camouflage and carrying rifles, UCP members have helped U.S. Border Patrol detain over 5,600 migrants in the last two months, Benvie said. Videos posted online by the group show members telling migrants to stop, sit down, and wait for agents to arrive. Critics accuse the UCP of impersonating law enforcement.

Crowdfunding sites PayPal and GoFundMe on Friday barred the group, citing policies not to promote hate or violence, after the ACLU called the UCP a "fascist militia."

"Today's arrest by the FBI indicates clearly that the rule of law should be in the hands of trained law enforcement officials, not armed vigilantes," New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas said in a statement of Hopkins's arrest.
Hopkins was previously arrested in Oregon in 2006 on suspicion of impersonating a police officer and being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

NO STANDOFFS
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said in a statement it did not support citizens taking law enforcement into their own hands and instead encouraged the public to be its eyes and ears on the border.
Benvie said the UCP was doing just that and had the support of local Border Patrol and police.
Mostly military veterans, UCP members carry weapons for self defense and at no time pointed guns at migrants, as they have been accused of, Benvie said.

Despite having funding sources cut off, Benvie said the group's online support had swelled since it came under attack this week. Its Facebook followers have more than doubled since Thursday.
Asked what the group would do if told to leave by state police, Benvie said they would probably go and, if they felt the order violated their constitutional rights, sue the state of New Mexico.
"There's not going to be any standoffs, this isn't the Bundy Ranch," Benvie said, in reference to a 2014 armed confrontation in Nevada.

A lot of people just watch a video when it's available instead of reading the article. In the article above, did you read anything about "Trump's racism" being the fuel behind the Patriots going to the border?  No, you didn't!  But, it's in the video, as a statement from The American Civil Liberties Union. They say, "The Trump Administration's vile racism has embolden these groups."

There's that propaganda thrown in... RACISM!  It's not about race, it's about coming in the right way, legally!  If anyone takes the time to go back and look at Donald Trump's life, you will see he is the further-est thing from being a racist.

They want us divided and in conflict with each other so we'll be easier to control.  They want open borders so they can keep the human trafficking, guns, and drugs flowing in that puts money into their pockets. They want MS-13 coming in to cause riots and murder people when they give the order. THEY WANT CONTROL, and they will lose it if the border wall goes up, because without money they can't continue to exist. But, they tell the American people it's all about accepting people with 'open arms'. 

BULLSHIT!   smallupset

Well, it's going up whether the Democrats like it or not... even as you read this. Too bad the Democrats will be shown in History books as the party that wanted to destroy America and it's people. Get on the right side now, it's not too late.
