Illegals now suing border landowners ... and winning

[Woodmonkey]

I couldn't believe it. I just heard on Fox news that the latest tactic by the Mexican Government and their illegals is suing American landowners who dare to protect their property. One rancher got so fed up with them sneaking in, destroying property and killing livestock that he would hold the ones he caught at gunpoint until the authorities arrived. The Mexican government is financing the lawsuit, saying that they objected to vigilantes harassing their citizens. Then there is the ranch awarded to two illegals. This was also mentioned on the same news. I'm leery of the site, but can't find a better one.

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 18—Spent shells litter the ground at what is left of the firing range, and camouflage outfits still hang in a storeroom. Just a few months ago, this ranch was known as Camp Thunderbird, the headquarters of a paramilitary group that promised to use force to keep illegal immigrants from sneaking across the border with Mexico.

Now, in a turnabout, the 70-acre property about two miles from the border is being given to two immigrants whom the group caught trying to enter the United States illegally.

The land transfer is being made to satisfy judgments in a lawsuit in which the immigrants had said that Casey Nethercott, the owner of the ranch and a former leader of the vigilante group Ranch Rescue, had harmed them.

“Certainly it’s poetic justice that these undocumented workers own this land,” said Morris S. Dees Jr., co-founder and chief trial counsel of the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Ala., which represented the immigrants in their lawsuit.

Mr. Dees said the loss of the ranch would “send a pretty important message to those who come to the border to use violence.”

The surrender of the ranch comes as the governors of Arizona and New Mexico have declared a state of emergency because of the influx of illegal immigrants and related crime along the border.

More typical BS from the courts and especially from Morris Dees.

Our judicial system is out of control.

I know of an AZ farmer who lost his farm to illegals thanks to the ACLU lawyers and a liberal judge.

The Southern Poverty Law Center should be renamed to The Center for Legal Racketering to Advance Socialistic Ideals and Destroy National Identity.

Our judicial system has to many loop holes in it and good lawyers know how to hop through them. Hard part of this, they may win and the poor guy protecting his land could go to jail. Sad very sad :icon_roll
