Amateur border patrol mounts aerial campaign.

OK, so you love to shoot guns, pretend to be a soldier, and fly model airplanes, and you hate foreigners. So what do you do in your spare time? Form an amateur border patrol, put a camera on your model airplane, call it the 'Border Hawk unmanned aerial vehicle ' and fly a 30 minute 'mission'.

2. True, but at least they are not doing anything violent.
There are a lot of people who view illegal immigration as a chance to get away with some dispicable acts. There are all kinds of murders and other terrible acts committed by people in the name of protecting our borders.

5. Not YET
I find the emergence of Right-Wing Paramilitaries in Imperial Amerika quite disturbing.

Particularly since they seem to be operating with the blessings of the Amerikan Empire and the Imperial Family.

This phenomena of government-blessed "private sector" thugs is common to Totalitarian Nations like the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.

And was also conspicuously absent from the Old American Republic.

3. So...

How much do you think that costs ... and what do you think it would take to bring that puppy down? Somehow I can't imagine it will be long before some enterprising smuggler destroys his little birdie. It's not like they have to worry about antagonizing law enforcement officials. The law would likely snigger behind the hands.

4. I planes they use are radio controlled right?
Just jam the signal or better yet, figure out what frequencies they are using, get a strong tranmitter and fly the planes back at them.

6. Oh, it's really not worth it.
We're talking about a couple good-old-boys who like playing cops and robbers and like to pretend they are helping the country.

Just a couple weeks ago some other enterprising anti-immigrant group detained a couple of immigrants at gunpoint and is now facing jailtime (unlawful detention, etc). These bozos will learn eventually.

Oddly enough, I'm on their side when it comes to immigration. I just don't like vigilantes.
