From The Arizona Daily Star, available online at: [url=http://www.azstarnet.com/border/br-12022002militia.html]http://www.azstarnet.com/border/br-1202200...002militia.html[/url]
Tombstone militia leader spells out patrol strategy
By Ignacio Ibarra December 2, 2002
The leader of Tombstone's citizens militia says the organization intends to conduct its operations on public lands, have members apply to carry concealed weapons and will patrol routes leading to water stations established by humanitarian groups.
"We're stepping on to public lands, and I dare the government to come and arrest 50 people," said Chris Simcox, owner of the Tombstone Tumbleweed, and organizer of a citizens militia he now calls the Civil Homeland Defense Force.
Simcox said the adjustment in patrol strategy was forced by the "tremendous pressure" from the media and government officials that caused property owners to back away from cooperation with his organization.
Despite the growing pressure, Simcox said he intends to "keep the flame burning on high until the federal government puts troops on the border." On Saturday the first 50 of more than 600 volunteers will be inducted and begin a course of training that includes qualification for a state issued concealed weapons permit, he said.
"We're going to use the government to screen our volunteers. Everyone who comes will have to get a concealed weapons permit and will have to go through that screening . . . a felony background check and an FBI check," Simcox said.
The initial strategy will be to conduct patrols in the areas where humanitarian water stations and beacons have been established by groups hoping to aid illegal border crossers on their dangerous journey.
Illegal crossers whom the militia encounters would be placed under citizen's arrest and turned over to the Border Patrol.

Apparently, landowners have been dissuaded from participating in the wetback round-ups that would have been easiest to keep within the law. The border defenders have been forced to adopt a more legally risky tactic of patrolling public lands and performing citizen's arrests of illegal aliens. Rather than reform their misfeasance, malfeasance and nonfeasance when it comes to discharging their public duty to defend the borders, the authorities are sure to go after the militia civilly and criminally. That means confrontation, publicity, political trials and, hopefully, jury nullification.
One thing is for sure, if the gringos do nothing matters will continue to deteriorate until their position is as untenable as that of White farmers in Southern Africa.

Fliegende Hollander,
matters(for Farmers) will continue to deteriorate until their position is as untenable as that of White farmers in Southern Africa.
I would say it is already close to such point. the damage done by the Mexicans overrunning these farms and ranches makes it very hard to run them. It is already getting hard to sell some of this land border. I understand some border lands in Texas have been sold to Mexican Drug loads who use the land to run drugs and illegal aliens over border.
