KNXV-TV in Phoenix reports:
Trial is under way in Tucson against a Cochise County rancher accused of detaining several illegal immigrants who attempted to cross into the United States near Douglas. Attorneys for the five women and 11 men who were trying to cross into the U.S. illegally accuse Roger Barnett of holding the group at gunpoint, threatening them with his dog and also threatening to shoot anyone that tried to escape, a press release from the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund said. Barnett, his wife, Barbara Barnett; and his brother, Donald Barnett; are charged in the federal lawsuit with conspiring to violate the plaintiffs' civil rights, the release said...
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.

Since when do illegal immigrants have "civil rights"? They were trespassing, or does that not count anymore? Is everything upside down these days? It seems so to me, and I'm not the only one.
