Nope, the writer nailed it. This is just a small band of armed thugs forcing their opinions on others. Most citizens do not agree with this and regard these bullies for what they are.
Its not an opinion on whether or not it’s illegal to cross our border. Its a good thing the founding fathers weren’t a bunch of cowards like you, or we wouldn’t have such a great country that everyone wants to invade.
