As our borders become more and more liquid and our taxes go up and up, there will be a need for Americans to volunteer to protect our borders. Do you think these volunteers should be allowed to use lethal force.

This can be a "yes" or "no answer here, and logical ones that are very important to its repercussion may/could occur.
THE POSITIVES and NEGATIVES:
(1) Border Patrol and Citizens patrol has been a vital part of deterring gangs,drugs, and crime in their own community(s). Small portions of it modeled after the "the take back your community 'Neighborhood Walk Program.'
(2) There is a lot of citizens that are willing to put themselves in harms way to make sure "everyone" enters the USA legally.
Well at the same time keeping their homes, family , and our country from the illegal communities adventures in America. That had escalated crime in ethnically stacked neighborhoods that dropped the value of hard working Americans dreams. You think this is fair?
(3) Is it also fair that the US citizens has to foot the bill for all the public services they acquire (illegals).
(4) Americans involved with the minute-men has my support given that they are trained alike Police, Sheriffs, given all the powers that each entity carries. They also must be free and clear of crimes that would exempt them from this enforcement service.
(5) Then to accomplish the work they have done, making sure the INS and the DOJ's both do their job in deporting illegals and putting them on a barred entry list from the US.

You know, the reason taxes will have to go up more and even more, beyond adjustments for inflation, is because of the cost of waging the war in Iraq, which is turning the US Treasury inside out like a bum's pocket.
But anyway...
No, no deadly force should be allowed, especially not on the part of volunteers. For the most part, the people coming here come here unarmed. And the few times they have tried to makeshift a weapon from some gravel picked up off the ground, there have been stupidly tragic consequences at the hands of inept wannabe-cowboys. If they want to put the national guard or the US military out there, then so be it. But Bubba and Jaynelle do not need to be entrusted with firepower during their shift at the border on their night off from bowling league. Such a suggestion is as ludicrous as it is inflammatory.

I don't approve of vigilantism. What we need are more Border Patrol officers.

Yes, somebody has to protect the borders if our government refuses. I would give them full power to act however they saw fit if I were President.

They should be allowed to what ever they need to. The fact is the federal government is not and so far will not do its job. As a result the feds should have no say in how others do the job for them until they decide to grow up and do their job.

I believe in using whatever is necessary. It won't hurt our taxes, because we are paying so much to keep up the immigrants anyway, that it would probably save us money.
We are providing health care, food, housing, jobs, and they pay no IRS, what kind of deal is that. They are taking more from us than we could spend to keep them out.

No, I like to think that we haven't descended far enough down . . . yet . . . to allow volunteer killers . . . to kill legally.
