"A small, armed militia based in New Mexico has set up camp in the southeastern-most pocket of the state in an effort to assist the United States Border Patrol in guarding the southern border until President Trump’s wall is built.

“We’re here to assist the border patrol because they are so short-handed,” a 70-year-old man named “Striker,” who leads the United Constitutional Patriots (UCP), told (https://www.afp.com/en/news/15/us-mexico-border-militia-vow-patrol-until-wall-doc-1ff8252) Agence France-Presse.

“We have a good work rapport with them,” he said. “Our goal was to be here until we’re not needed. And when we’re not needed

is when that wall is up.”

If I lived on the southern border, I'd join up with those guys.

"The UCP is based out of Flora Vista and is made up mostly of older veterans"
“It’s kind of no different than if you were to have citizen’s arrest powers, if you will,” Jim Benvie, a 43-year-old UCP member from Minnesota, told AFP.

He said the Border Patrol only allows them to “observe and report.”

`Out in the field -- with tactical gear, rifles and even custom patches -- the UCP say their duties include watching the border, standing guard over people who want to hand themselves in to border patrol and pursuing those who don't.`


Based out of Flora Vista, New Mexico, the group -- made up mostly of older veterans -- enjoys an enthusiastic social media following. Striker can be heard fielding calls during lengthy radio broadcasts streamed online several times a week.
And if you want to sign up to "uphold and defend the constitution?" Just give pick up the phone."
