#1 You are illegal, you don't have any civil rights or constitutional protection.

Rancher just should have shot these wastes of skin.

Another judge waste of skin will just make up a rule on the bench and give illegals "rights".

#2 Perhaps Mr. Barnett can countersue these greedy idiots for all the damage ever done on his ranch. The legal discovery process can be a real b***h.

#3 What is the problem here! Has it become against the law for a US citizen to make a citizens arrest of someone committing a felony on his own property. Illegally entering the United States is a felony. Why is this in court?

#4 I suggest counter-suing them using the litter and environmental damage angle to confuse their lib sympathizers.

#5 Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF)

Another CAIR by practice. Special Interest Groups interchangeable.

#6 To heck with electronic sensors and attempting to play "nice", bring out the claymores. Of course, warning signs (bilingual of course) would have to be posted.

Or give the Mexicans coming in illegally, the same respect and dignity they bestow upon those who infiltrate their southern border.

#7 The traditional alternative is to hire gunslingers to drive out the trespassers. This can get pretty mean in Arizona.

Also known as the Graham-Tewksbury feud, it rates right up there with the Hatfield-McCoy feud, and the Lincoln County (NM) War.

#8 I'm starting to think there is that the issue here is not about what the rancher did, it is about intimidating anyone who doesn't line up with the present administration. This is a non news item that the MSM has pushed to the forefront. It seems like there are at least 3 news articles every day about people who really didn't do anything illegal but are not blindly following Obummer's policies on specific issues that are controversial. They are being prosecuted or sued in Federal Court. The courts are always full controversial litigation. This issue as presented should have been dismissed. This rancher has made a lawful citizens arrest. He held the felons until they could be taken into custody by law enforcement. I'm sure the Judge was told not to dismiss this case. The MSM picks up the cases on which they can put their spin for propoganda. The rancher will win but it will cost him a fortune. I believe this is a form of malicious prosecution in the courts designed to be publicised incessantly to intimidate opposition to his federal policies. These cases are insignificant but selected to get top headlines by Obummer's MSM. This article followed all of the hoopla about enforcing the federal illegal immigration law in Arizona that Obummer opposes.

#9 1,100 a year? He's a one man police force! I'm surprised he's lasted this long. I wish him good fortune.

#10 Lets see they were tresspassing on his land. In some places (don't know about AZ) that is enough to have them detained - no matter what their immigration status is.

Why is this even in court? Some activist ~~prince of the realm~~ judge perhaps?

#11 Dead men file no lawsuits. Especially if you have 15,000 acres to hide the bodies in.

#12 This lawsuit is so wrong. Barnett is a citizen making a citizen's arrest. Arizona should now pass a law giving immunity to citizens for upholding the law and making citizen arrests. Got to slap this stuff down.

#13 Deputize all these border ranchers.

#14 We have the most inept, traitorous government in history. If the Fed won't control the borders or make any attempt to protect it's legal citizens, it has no justifiable reason to f'ing exist!

#15 You aren't whistling Dixie about environmental damage and littering. At our reptile society some gave a talk about looking for snakes in the AZ / Mexico border area. The area is strewn with plastic water bottles and cheap back packs.

#16 Let's play "Guess the movie"...

A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes. But you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have the hole already dug before you show up with a package in the trunk. Otherwise, you're talking about a half-hour to forty-five minutes worth of digging. And who knows who's gonna come along in that time? Pretty soon, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be there all fuckin' night.

I guess Rancher Roger didn't see it...

#17 Casino, for $100

#18 Right you are, Frank. If he doesn't wanna dig holes, maybe he could buy a vice.
