Wil's Rant

When I think of illegal immigrants crossing into the U.S. from Mexico, I think mostly of migrant workers. This article points out that there is much more to the problem. It is referring , of course, to the number of murders, kidnappings, and other crimes which now seem to be over-running the area. Starts to make those civilian border patrols much easier to understand. If it came down to protecting my family, I would patrol too. I fear that this will not go well. One reason is the fact that the people committing these crimes are very nasty people indeed. What exactly would a person do if they came across them. By the time you realize that this might not be your average migrant worker, they would have already killed you. More than 300 missing women, many who have been found dead, suggests that these guys hold very little value for life. The only way to protect yourself when conducting such operations is to essentially act like a SWAT team. Problem is, it's not legal for civilians to do what a SWAT team can.
