Armed Citizens Join the Front Lines to Help Prevent Caravan Riders From Entering the U.S.
By Townhall. The United States Border Patrol alerted Texas landowners about the possibility of armed citizens being on their property. These men and women have decided to join the Border Patrol and the National Guard on the front lines of the United States-Mexico border to prevent illegal aliens from entering the U.S.
Armed citizens decided to provide support to federal law enforcement officials after they received word that the Central American caravan carrying illegal aliens would be arriving at the United States-Mexico border in the coming days.
According to the Associated Press, activists are coordinating with other citizens about taking a place along the border. One even told them it was “imperative that we have boots on the ground,” Fox News reported.
It is coming practice for Militia and members of the Minutemen to keep watch on the border. When they see someone illegally crossing, they call Border Patrol to come and apprehend the person or persons.
Those who can’t make it to the border have donated money for supplies and equipment. Those who do plan to patrol the border usually bring firearms and tactical gear, Fox News reported. (Read more from “Armed Citizens Join the Front Lines to Help Prevent Caravan Riders From Entering the U.S.” HERE)
