16 illegals sue Arizona rancher

[HappyWarrior]

These folks were foreign nationals who illegally crossed the border and were detained.  The girl who was "struck" might have tried to get away, we can't be sure.  These peoples became criminals the secod they crossed the border without Visas and should be treated as such only insofar as is necessary to send them back home.  I really don't see why they are suing the rancher, it is as if a guy broke into someone's house and then the homeowner hits him and ties him up until the police get there.

Am I the only one to think that pointing a gun at someone is a crime ? No matter how much Mr Barnett loves his property, he should find another way to "defend" it.
The suit is fully justified.

I strongly disagree. They have no legal right to be in the country, let alone on this man's property. He acted fully within his rights, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm in no way an immigration nut (as many are in that part of the country), but come on....pro-immigrationists can take it too far.

I am totally in agreement with this statement.
