If you go and read through New Mexico news today, there was a detention episode that occurred where a militia (yes, a group of regular civilians) who found and held 300 illegals who entered the country, and handed the illegals over to the Border Patrol.
The governor? She's all peeved (a Democrat), and the Border Patrol basically said they don't encourage this type of behavior.
If you read through other statements in the press, the same militia folks are talking about road-blocks and asking for an ID. The governor was peeved over that suggestion as well. Illegal? Well, if the county sheriff were to deputize and use the militia folks in conjunction with a group of deputies, it would be legal. My humble guess is that the governor will go and try to throw up some law that says road-blocks can only be authorized by some judge or state authority, but getting it passed at this point? I have doubts.
All of this is leading to other states and militia groups looking at what can or cannot be done. If you were to have sixty roadblocks over a Saturday afternoon in ten states? You might actually create an apprehended group of 2,000 people. It's hard to say what the Border Patrol would say or do, in this matter. It would throw up a fear factor for those in the US, and probably push them into settling only for sanctuary states (something that mayors/city council members don't want to hear).
Outlawing the militias? Constitutionally? The federal and state governments would have a rough time. If you thought gun control could be impacted.....go try to outlaw militia groups.
It just seems like the bigger you blow the illegal or border control business.....the more massive the overall problem becomes.
