15,000 people have volunteered to give up their free time to patrol our borders and report not only illegal aliens, but potential terrorists to the proper government authorities.

Border Patrol and the US government should be lauding these people for providing a service for free that not only secures our borders, but helps the overburdened Border Patrol.
