How many illegals COULD have crossed the border in the last 5 years?
How many of those MIGHT have carried several guns, like machine guns, with them?
How many of those COULD be conspiring to bring about the kind of mass carnage like what happened on 9/11?
IF a large gang of people intend on launching shootups across some of the southern cities, with machine guns, how long do you think it would take ANY government agency to respond with any kind of effectiveness? (think LA riots)
And you scare the crap out of me. Why do you assume that these people are armed and dangerous? What evidence do you have that the illegals crossing the border are after anything other than a higher standard of living?

If a group large enough to shoot up a city launched an attack large enough to warrant a military response, it would almost certainly take a day or two for an appropriate response in almost every Southern city besides Atlanta due to the proximity of the military. If you have a complaint about that, I suggest you start working on a device to instantly transport men and material from one place to another since its a logistics problem, not a political one.

And for the record, I do NOT want you or any of your armed neighbors acting as vigilanties on my behalf.
