There is some truth to that. If these guys do absolutely nothing with these illegals, then they will be obeying the law;, which begs the question of what the hell they are doing there in the first place, other than having their pictures taken so that they can paste them to their scrapbooks when they get back to Idaho.
They act as eyes and ears for the border patrol, if the see something they report it to the BP.
And I am CERTAIN that the Border Patrol really appreciates having an undisciplined and untrained band of armed hotheads wandering around while they are trying to do their job.
Actually they do, they brief the folks on what they can and can't do and often provide communication equipment to expedite reporting and response times. BTW your derogatory terms only speaks to your ignorance, these folks are giving their time and resources to make the country safer. I know a concept you commies will never understand, you always want to use other peoples money. If I were physically able I would be right there with them, I think my 26 years of military experience would be a benefit.
