Photos show border militias moving across Texas

Photos showing dozens of members of the militia groups on the U.S.-Mexico border carrying semi-automatic rifles and wearing masks, camouflage and tactical gear provide one of the first glimpses into the group's activities on the border.

Members of the militia groups, who say they have 10 active "teams" along the state's southern border, are seen at campsites, walking along the Rio Grande River, pointing rifles and pistols out of frame and flipping off the camera in the photos obtained by the San Antonio Express-News.

A spokesperson for the group provided the photos under the condition that members' faces be blurred because of fear of being identified by "cartel and gang members."

One of the photos shows a Border Patrol agent leaning through an armed militia member's vehicle window and pointing on a map. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection earlier this month strongly rebuked the group's presence on the border but did not return multiple requests for comment regarding the photo.

Something is terribly wrong with this picture and the anti-Israel picture....is America about to fall to her enemies? Texas has a RIGHT to protect our /their boarders from illegals entering illegally...just as Israel has the RIGHT to protect her nation. The federal government under this administration has FAILED to do its job of protecting the United States borders.....we have an extreamly treacherous president....he truly wants America to fall into the hands of his ilk, Bill Ayers, George Soros, fill in the blanks__________

Just read on FB that some border agents are quitting in protest. Anyone else read this?

The tipping point will happen when one illegal is shot by a militia. This will trigger a confrontation with the Obama Regime’s troops. When Governor Perry’s National Guard troops are in place, the option of shooting the illegals will be closed. The illegals will walk right in and challenge the troops to send them back.

So, what is way to discourage the illegals from walking in? I would have those apprehended be finger printed and photographed. I would warn them that if they are apprehended again in our country, they will be jailed for a minimum of ten years. If they are bringing in children, they would get fifteen years and lose custody of their children. When they got out of prison, they would get deported back to their country of origin. They would sign a paper saying they were instructed of the warning. Then, I would send them back across the border. If they were from another country other than Mexico, let Mexico deal with them. Mexico allowed them safe passage into their country. Mexico has to pay for their transport out.

Ok, I not understanding something.

We sit here and bitch and moan about the border situation and wonder when “somebody” will o something.

Well we have people trying to do something and 1/3rd of the comments are people worried about the press, false flags, and backlash?

Make up your minds! Either this is so serious that action is needed now, or you just like complaining about it.

So the reporterette can take a pic of Texas posses but doesn't have the cajones to track down any illegals.

Which side is he on?

This is not a good time to be in the military, where one may be ordered to shoot.

I get it, it's just not a big deal flipping the bird to a camera.
There are much larger issues than piddle fingers in the lens.

This is very encouraging! Nothing else is going to stop this invasion.

"The tipping point will happen when one illegal is shot by a militia. This will trigger a confrontation with the Obama Regime's troops.

More likely, he would be arrested by the sheriff's dept., or the state police.

Worse than any of that, the militia guys could run into a group of Zetas carrying drug money south. Then they would be in a fire fight.

Are those illegals on the border, or illegals at the local Home Depot waiting for work?

This one issue is the most important and treasonous of all of Obama’s actions in office. It could result in the complete destruction of America if the invasion is not repelled and the truth revealed as to his complicity:

He has made the border porous and invited an army ol illegal immigrants to suck the welfare teat completely dry. It is Cloward - Piven on full display. He doesn’t care that they will increase the populations of every major city and completely overwhelm welfare, housing, educational systems, and healthcare systems especially since most do not pay taxes. This is the goal; to overwhelm and baknrupt the system. It also places an undue burden on the white middle class worker who he will continue to harass by continuing to raise thir taxes, remove their disposable income, and decrease their quality of life until they will contemplate suicide. Jarrett said that there would br payback and stated they already had judges in thir pocket ready to go. I believe sh was lulling to Roberts who they had already blackmailed at that point.

The illegals multiply very quickly. The end goal is to completely overtake the white population and change the socio-economic makeup of the population forever. Once they begin multiply, forget about finding employment. Also forget about getting any government benefits if you are white. Walk into any Department of Human Services and look and the demographics and you’ll understand.

He couldn’t get enough people on board to get amnesty approved which was really for the purpose of executing the Cloward - Piven strategy. Now he has shown his true face and we know his true intentions. It is now time to say “NO MORE”. Impeach or leave office. RINOs are going to have a lot harder time getting elected now because we’re no longer listening to what they say but what they do. We might as well dismantle the Republican party and tell them to become Democrats

I live in Marin County...and get the sense that these guys simply adopted the name of the Bolinas Border Patrol although Im not 100 percent certain of that.

OMG! What you proposed is really time-consuming and really expensive. What is wrong with fast and cheap, one 20 cent bullet? I can’t even visit Mexico with a visa, much less live there. All I ask for is reciprocity.
