August 7, 2014 -- San Antonio Express-News SAN ANTONIO – Republican state Rep. Doug Miller, who toured the Rio Grande Valley on Monday with state police, said groups acting as militias on the border have a right to be there and are not currently a problem. What I was told is (the militia groups) are on private property, helping ranchers and owners to keep illegals coming onto or through their property ... and there havent been any problems, When (the groups) are coming into an area, theyve been very forthright, letting (law enforcement) know they were there so there wouldnt be some type of negative interaction. We have secured state resources in the absence of federal assistance, he said. It is encouraging to me, as a state lawmaker, that we have sent professional personnel to the border. Well never have 100% secure border, but I think with what weve done, weve sent a very clear message to Mexico that we are not going to accept this. mysanantonio/news/local/article/State-Rep-Militias-have-the-right-to-be-on-the-5672555.php?#photo-6691744
