One, I just read it and I think it is a good idea. The key word for me was they are 'Trained'. The only difference between them and a rancher in Texas is the rancher owns the land. If it's Public Land I think it is a good idea, especially since our government (both Liberals & Conservatives) does not fund anywhere near enough money to protect our National Forest Lands, borders and the Agents hired to protect the Natural Resources of America. Civilians are now helping out with the borders in Arizona and Texas. And it has never been more important than now with some of these anti groups starting fires out West just to get even with those who don't believe in their VERY radical views. Texas has something like 1800 miles of shared border with Mexico and yet only a few hundred Border Patrol to protect the border. And half of those are either office bound or work the bridges that connect a city in Texas with its counterpart in Mexico. It is so easy to smuggle in drugs, WMD, terrorists, and such coming across from Mexico.
