A slew of anti-government groups -- many of which participated in the standoff at Cliven Bundy's Nevada ranch -- are recruiting armed volunteers to travel to the Texas-Mexico border as a citizen militia to participate in "Operation Secure Our Border," which aims to stop the surge of immigrants into the country.

The groups, who identify themselves as "Patriots," "Oathkeepers" and "Three Percenters," are using social media, blogs and a 24-hour hotline to recruit and mobilize volunteers that will travel to Laredo, carry firearms and attempt to assist law enforcement agencies on the border.

However, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said they do not "endorse or support any private group or organization from taking matters into their own hands as it could have disastrous personal and public safety consequences."

Volunteers are being vetted through criminal background checks

This is not going to warm Gov. Perry to the idea of calling up the reserve militia. He’ll see them as renegades who can’t follow orders.

CORRECTION: Many of the protesters in Murrieta are non-white.
In fact, from the photos and the eye-witnesses, you’ve pretty much got a cross-section of America protesting there - and in other places.

Remember: War is when the government tells you who the enemy is. Revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.

We now have, and have had for quite some time, a government that is destructive to the ends of securing life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for its citizenry.

“Bang!”...”What was that?”

The schoolhouse rock graphic is weird - the shot comes from somewhere in China and the person hearing it was in California.

The idiots that write these newspapers...

Here in Houston it's typically known as the "Carbuncle" or the "Comical".

In California the rabid amnesty supporters are threatening to kill the people preventing the busses from getting into Murrieta.”””

Let those supporters take a one way 9 day bus ride back to the country these invaders came from & escort them safely ‘home’.

Do not let the supporters of the invaders re-enter the USA.
