Related: About this forumHead of Bundy-style border vigilantes is Open Carry Texas activist
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/border-militia-leader-army-dischargeChris Davis, the reported leader of the militia that encompasses many of the same groups that supported Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy in his standoff with federal authorities, was cited by San Antonio police for disorderly conduct because he and two other men were openly carrying firearms outside a Starbucks last year, the newspaper reported. It identified him as a member of Open Carry Texas.
Open Carry Texas protesters became notorious in recent months for holding armed demonstrations at various restaurants and chain stores, as TPM has reported. The protests caused such controversy that the NRA issued a statement calling the protests "downright foolishness."
The national gun lobby group later offered a rare public apology for its condemnation after Open Carry Texas members began cutting up their NRA membership cards.

Davis has been identified as the leader of Operation Secure Our Border. In a YouTube video that has since been taken down, he appeared to describe how the job would be done: "You see an illegal. You point your gun dead at him, right between his eyes, and you say, 'Get back across the border or you will be shot.'"
Just another freedom-loving constitutionalist.

If they think they are either attacking and protecting themselves from the gubermint so why would they "protect" the US from refugees?
