Do these guys plan on shooting families that sneak over the border? They are NOT law enforcement and can not place them under arrest. This does not go well under any circumstance.
The next concern should be what happens when one of these dumb-ass, unregulated militia members fires across the border into Mexico and wounds or kills someone? After all the hate coming from the US, I imagine retaliation would be immediate if they have military on the other side (regardless if they are trying to hold back immigrants or to protect themselves from these para-military types). If this administration wasn't so fucking stupid, they would be actively moving these yahoos away from the border. This could quickly escalate into a real conflict with Mexico when some hateful ass hats pulls the trigger and Mexico retaliates. We should really pay attention to Mexico and see if they are lining any military along their border in the coming weeks.
Rhetoric about Mexico "sending" illegals over is one thing, firing bullets into a sovereign nation is another. Whether it is our military or what is deemed as a sanctioned force, it will be construed as an aggressive act. Normal de-escalation discussions won't go well because our commander in chief is a fucking idiot. Also, since dumb-fuck has alienated our allies, I would expect the likes of Germany, Canada, UK, etc. to take the side Mexico. Boy won't we look stupid surrounded by our former allies as we scramble to do damage control.
