Arizona Rancher Who Stopped Illegal Immigrants at Border Now Being Sued.. weak
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 — seeking $32 million in damages — 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, the Washington Times reported Monday.
The rancher, Roger Barnett, 64, began rounding up illegal immigrants in 1998 and turning them over to the U.S. Border Patrol after they destroyed his property, killed his calves and broke into his home, the newspaper reported.
His Cross Rail Ranch near Douglas, Ariz., is known by federal and county law enforcement authorities as "the avenue of choice" for immigrants seeking to enter the United States illegally, the newspaper reports.
thoughts?

It sounds to me like the illegals have more rights than the farmer that owns the land (and is legal). If they win this will be a horrible blow to Americans suffering from this.

I would just like to know how all Americans are suffering from illegal immigration? I can understand why this gentleman is angry. If he is a farmer or rancher, his property is getting trampled.

people who work mininum wage jobs or construction, the illegals will work for less money than americans and that's what the employers want, so they get the low paying jobs instead of actual legal people, that's about the only problem i have with them.

I see you point, but if we had a strong manufacturing base like in the 60s this would not be an issue. As Americans we have to start making things again, and just not buying. The other option for people would be to go to college if they can afford it.

It would be different if Americans worked low paying jobs but considering that they just pop out kids and let the goverment pay them
It's the same with the 2 border guards who shot the mexican drug dealer and they went to prison. Glad Bush got them out since they shouldn't have been in prison at all.
On the bright side they screwed up the economy so much even mexicans won't want to risk it anymore
