Roger Barnett's fight for his/our future

I have long been an advocate for closing our Borders to the scub-bag Coyotes leading illegals (we used to call them wetbacks) into this country, as well as running drugs at the same time. Now one Arizona Rancher, Roger Barnett, 64, is being sued by 16 illegal aliens for $32 million dollars for violating their civil rights by stopping them, at gun point, on his ranch no less! The actual charges, according to the Washington Times are for actual and punitive damages for civil rights violations, the infliction of emotional distress and other crimes. This case is in Federal Court at this moment, but it is expected to conclude by this Friday. Also named in the Law Suit were Barnett's Wife, Barbara, his brother, Donald Barnett, and the Cochise County, Ariz. Sheriff, Larry Dever.
According to these poor illegals, Barnett was supposed to have detained them, on his ranch, a 22,000 acre spread near Douglas, Arizona March 7th, 2004, and threatened them with a handgun and his Dog. Mr. Barnett acknowledged to the Washington Times that he has detained and turned over 12,000 illegals to the Border Patrol since 1998. Apparently Barnett, when he detained any illegals, would use an FM 2-way radio to call his wife or brother, who then in turn called the Border Patrol. Attorneys for the "victims", five (5) women and eleven (11) men, are with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) have also charged Sheriff Dever for doing nothing to prevent Mr. Barnett from holding their clients at "gunpoint, yelling obscenities at them and kicking one of the women." Mr Barnett was supposed to have yelled at one of the women in Spanish that his dog was hungry for mexican buttocks.
What really got my dander up over this is the fact that the Washington Times 1st interviewed Mr. Barnett in 2002... I don't remember reading anything about it seven years ago, do you? Another area that made my blood boil was early 2008 U.S. District Judge John Rollsrefused Mr. Barnett's request to drop the charges, saying there was sufficient evidence to allow the matter to be presented to a jury. Mr. Barnett's attorney, David Hardy, had argued that illegal immigrants did not have the same rights as U.S. citizens.
Mr. Barnett told the Washington Times in their 2002 intewrview that he began rounding up the illegals after they started vandalizing his property. He said they've torn up water pumps, killed cattle, destroyed fencing and gates, stole his truck, and broke into his home. Barnett said the has carried trash off his place that was sometimes piled 10 inches deep and included; human waste, used toilet paper, soiled diapers, cigarette packs, clotheing, backpacks, empty 1 gal. water bottles and aluminum foil used to pack the drugs the Coyotes (illegals smugglers) were bringing into the country. Barnett stated he even installed a faucet on an 8,000 water tank to keep the illegals from damaging the tank constantly.
Barnett's Cross Rail ranch became a prime avenue for the illegals after the Border Patrol had to divert it's attention to the Border towns in an effort to take control of the established ports of entry. Barnett said: "This is my land. I´m the victim here, When someone´s home and loved ones are in jeopardy and the government seemingly can´t do anything about it, I feel justified in taking matters into my own hands. And I always watch my back."
I sincerely hope Mr. Barnett, his Wife Barbara, brother Donald, and Sheriff Dever win their case and are acquited... This is an injustice that an American cannot exercise his Constitutional Right to protect his Family, Home, and Property, and it's a travesty and a complete miscarraige of justice to allow illegals to sue any damned body proptecting their homes and properties. Our Justice Department should demand that MALDEF and the Federal Judge to stand down! And that criminal and illegal Immigrations charges be brought against the 16 illegals involved and stiff prison sentences (In Mexico perferably) be brought against them!!! I'm sick and damned tired of our sorry criminal justice system allowing such trash as this to continue to take place in our court systems...
