that citizens have to consider going and doing this themselves because the government who are sworn by law to uphold the sovereignty of this nation (for which we all pay taxes for) are unable to do it on their own!
People will stand up to some poor people trying to cross a border but give a rogue government a free pass.
Asked about the United Constitutional Patriots and the videos the group has posted online, a US Customs and Border Protection spokesman declined to comment on the group itself or the social media posts, but said the agency "does not endorse or condone private groups or organizations taking enforcement measures into their own hands."
"Interference by civilians in law enforcement matters could have public safety and legal consequences for all parties involved," the spokesman said in a written statement, referring those who suspect illegal activity to call 911 or contact the agency directly. "Border Security operations are complex and require highly trained professionals with adequate resources to protect the country."
And a CBP spokesman said the agency is looking into videos posted in which a member of the group appears to claim he works for the Border Patrol.
Border Patrol officials are distancing themselves from the group.
"We have contact with them, but they do not work with us. They do not work alongside us," one Border Patrol official said.
When it comes to protecting the border and making arrests, that authority is "strictly for Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection," the official said, saying he hasn't seen anyone from the militia group attempt to make an arrest.
"By law, they cannot conduct an arrest," the official said. "If they do, then somebody needs to do something about it."
