HOUSTON (AP) — M*****a groups and far-right activists are raising money and announcing plans to head to the Mexican border to help stop the caravan of Central Americans, echoing President Donald Trump’s attacks on the migrants making their way toward the U.S.
Exactly how many m*****a members will turn out is unclear, and as of Friday, the caravan of about 4,000 people was still some 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers) and weeks away from reaching this country.
But the prospect of armed civilians at the border — and the escalating political rhetoric over immigration — have fueled fears of vigilantism at a time when tensions are already running high because of the mail bomb attacks against some of Trump’s critics.
The U.S. Border Patrol this week warned local landowners in Texas that it expects “possible armed civilians” to come onto their property because of the caravan.
Three activists told The Associated Press that they were going to the border or organizing others, and groups on Facebook have posted dire warnings about the caravan. One said it was “imperative that we have boots on the ground.” Another wrote: “WAR! SECURE THE BORDER NOW!”
The m*****a members said they plan to bring guns and equipment such as bulletproof vests and lend a hand to the Border Patrol to protect against people unlawfully entering the country.
“They’re just laughing in our face,” said Shannon McGauley, president of the Texas Minutemen. “It’s a free-for-all in America.”
McGauley said he already has members at three points of the state’s border with Mexico and expects to add 25 to 100 more people in the coming days.
Border watch groups and m*****as have been patrolling the 2,000-mile (3,200-kilometer) southern boundary off and on for more than a decade. Typically, the groups watch for people illegally crossing into the U.S. When they spot crossers, they contact the Border Patrol.
Their presence has led to conflict in some cases. A m*****a member k**led two people in 2009 during an invasion of what she thought was a drug house near the border in Arivaca, Arizona.
Residents in that same city have been posting signs in recent weeks warning that m*****a members are not welcome.
The migrants’ northward trek has led to an e******n-season furor in the U.S., with Trump calling for the Army to be sent to the border and a Pentagon official saying the administration will dispatch 800 or more active-duty troops.

That's a little weird, but considering the location. Weird because the folks in Laredo invite us into their homes. Each state has a m*****a, mine has three, two that you can look up. I know that Georgia's m*****a has been guarding them very well.
