Vigilante means watchman in Spanish, clawrence3.

If 'vigilantes' were taking people away, where were they taking them to and for what reason?

Hear hear. It falls apart on the very next logical thought. For the rumor to live it must be true that the illegals being taken away are not coming back, but vigilantes wouldn't be simply killing them or shipping them back to Mexico themselves.

Note to Mods: please let clawrence3 back on; he gives us an insight into how the other side thinks.

I agree. He's a putz when it comes to illegals but he's not a troll.

Thanks for the link.

The administration is doing it's best to spin things in a positive light.

They have deported around one million illegals a year. However, they are only catching a small portion of them and they are doing little to keep them from returning after they are deported.

The catch and release problems existed before Bush took office, and they are just recently getting to taking administrative steps, that didn't require new legislation, to address it.

I hadn't thought about the limitations that were on expedited removal and that non-Mexican illegal immigrants would be harder to deport, so this gave me a little additional insight into the nature of that particular part of the illegal immigration problem.

So if we close the borders this year, we could deport all the illegal aliens in 11 to 12 years!

I thought Presidente "Coyote" said it was impossible?

Austin officials question whether groups impersonating officers are terrorizing residents.

Probably Mexican DFS/Federal Judicial Police death squads. Just the *Brigada Blanca* doing the jobs US law enforcers are unwilling to do.

If millions are being deported every year, then that does away with the administration's position that there are too many to deport.

Chupacabra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The chupacabra or chupacabras is a creature said to inhabit parts of the Americas. It is associated particularly with Puerto Rico (where it was first reported), Mexico, and the United States, especially in the latter's Latin American communities.

The name which translates literally from Spanish as "goat-sucker", comes from its reported habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock. Physical descriptions of the creature vary. Sightings began in Puerto Rico in the early 1990s, and have since been reported as far north as the Carolinas and as far south as Chile.

Maybe they are just undocumented law enforcement officers.

Reminds me of the T-shirt I ordered from the Minutemen website. It reads "UNDOCUMENTED BORDER AGENT". It's great!

Ditto.

If one is a 'legal immigrant' and a lawful citizen (same diff, I know) - what's to be 'terrorized' by?
