Conservative Rumblings

Yes, you read that right: illegal immigrants are SUING the owner of an Arizona ranch because he held them at gunpoint and turned them over to the Border Patrol.

An Arizona man who has waged a 10-year campaign to stop a flood of illegal immigrants from crossing his property is being sued by 16 Mexican nationals who accuse him of conspiring to violate their civil rights when he stopped them at gunpoint on his ranch on the U.S.-Mexico border.

I fail to see what’s wrong with that. In fact, this guy should be given an award. On top of that, it makes me furious to see illegals whining and complaining about their “rights.” Silly illegals, rights are for citizens. If you want them, learn English and become a citizen. If you are here against the law, you’re lucky we don’t just put a .357 Magnum bullet in your leg and throw you back across the border into your piece of garbage country.

Illegals…don’t…have…rights. I swear I’ve been repeating that for six years and we still have idiots thinking that we should give illegals the same rights as citizens.

This story is an amazing (and ridiculous) one of an American citizen standing up for his rights when the government is doing nothing to prevent the horde of criminals wandering across our southern border.

A more in-depth read and you find some serious examples of the efforts this man has gone through to try and protect his property and his rights.

Mr. Barnett told The Washington Times in a 2002 interview that he began rounding up illegal immigrants after they started to vandalize his property, northeast of Douglas along Arizona Highway 80. He said the immigrants tore up water pumps, killed calves, destroyed fences and gates, stole trucks and broke into his home.

Some of his cattle died from ingesting the plastic bottles left behind by the immigrants, he said, adding that he installed a faucet on an 8,000-gallon water tank so the immigrants would stop damaging the tank to get water.

Mr. Barnett said some of the ranch´s established immigrant trails were littered with trash 10 inches deep, including human waste, used toilet paper, soiled diapers, cigarette packs, clothes, backpacks, empty 1-gallon water bottles, chewing-gum wrappers and aluminum foil - which supposedly is used to pack the drugs the immigrant smugglers give their “clients” to keep them running.

He said he carried a pistol during his searches for the immigrants and had a rifle in his truck “for protection” against immigrant and drug smugglers, who often are armed.

Another part of the article says that he has turned over 12,000 illegals over to the Border Patrol. That is insane! I give this guy a huge amount of credit for standing up for himself and his rights, and it will be beyond ridiculous for any judge to not summarily dismiss this lawsuit. Of course, MALDEF is the organization behind the illegals so you can bet this is going to get ugly.
