In an interview with the Express-News last month, Chris Davis, commander of the militia’s Operation Secure Our Border: Laredo Sector, who is seen in some of the photos, said members would secure the border in a “legal and lawful manner.”
In 21-minute YouTube video that has since been deleted, Davis said: “How? 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.’”

Although rife with right wing talking points the video is well worth watching as under intense questioning by the interviewer, Jim Gilchrist reassures us that his vigilantes will operate under the rule of law.

At about nine minutes into the video Gilchrist explains that if law enforcement does the "good thing" and back off as they did in Murrieta Ca. or the Bundy Cow-Pie rebellion there would be no problem.

Speaking to Al Jazeera America, Jones, in full Klan robes, warned that immigrant children crossing the border are a threat to a “white homeland” and simply one more way President Obama ha “sold out the American people.”
“If we can’t turn them back, I think if we pop a couple of them off and leave their corpses laying at the border maybe they’ll see we’re serious about stopping immigration,” Jones said.
