Arizona State Lawmaker Proposes Citizen-Militia Force To Patrol Border

Arizona State Rep.-elect Jack Harper, a Republican, announced Monday his plan to submit legislation that would pave the way for the creation of a citizen-militia force to protect his state's border with Mexico.

His bill would establish the "Homeland Security Force," Harper told Fox News on Monday. The outfit would supplement the National Guard troops currently at the border, which Obama reinforced in 2010.

Harper, a rabid cost-cutting conservative who once sparked outrage with a blunt letter warning Arizonans that he was planning to sever entitlement-program lifelines in order to address a mounting budget crisis, claims that the National Guard is too expensive and the Border Patrol is too weak.

2. Have they chosen the colors of the shirts, yet?
What other creative tasks could this new force be destined for?
