It'll force the issue and provide precedent.
The rancher is gonna win.

...
Barnett claims to have turned over 12,000 illegal immigrants to the Border Patrol since 1998 after his property was destroyed and cattle were killed.
...
"Roger Barnett has been involved in actually trying to stop vehicles with people who he suspected were not legal," Potok said. "The man has leased 22,000 acres from the state and federal government.... He drives across this huge piece of land looking for people to stop at gunpoint.
...
Glenn Spencer with the American Border Patrol said he considers Barnett "an American hero."
...
The current trial is not Barnett's first venture into federal court. In November 2006, a jury found that he had falsely imprisoned members of a Douglas family and ordered him to pay nearly $100,000 in damages.
From what that article suggests, he's just a bit too zealously vigilante to come off as a guy just trying to protect his property. It's a sad state of affairs when a private person can stop more than a thousand otherwise unimpeded illegal immigrants a year crossing the border in a place known to authorities to be a common point of illegal entry.DesertFox- wrote:

After searching: Mixed verdict over migrants' run-in with rancher Don't get your panties in a twist that it's FOX, I'm sure they can't put much spin on the words of the court.

I don't remember hearing about this, and I didn't know it was a year old. Anyway, the rancher is forced to pay...Go figure, and is anyone really surprised? Any verdict where the rancher is forced to pay anything is a defeat.DesertFox- wrote:

Not bashing America in this thread if you had not noticed, I am bashing illegal aliens and their piece of shit lawyers that will do anything to make sure they take money from an earner with bullshit lawsuits. All in the spirit of the American liberal entitlement agenda. and hell, now, ya don't even have to be a US citizen to be able to abuse laws that are not meant for you. Civil rights for an illegal alien.. I love it.nlsme1 wrote:

this is the state of our country now, this is what it has become. Criminals suing the owner for catching them and turning them over...........We are doomed as a nation.
So - "Criminals suing the owner" = technically wrong
... "for catching them and turning them over" = also wrong
"We are doomed as a nation" (if our citizens continue to exhibit lack of comprehension and critical thinking skills) = correct.
hmmm we talk about wwii?KEN-JENNINGS wrote:
