“We have patriots all across this country who are willing to sacrifice their time, their monies, even quit their jobs to come down and fight for freedom, liberty and national sovereignty,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Davis told the network.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re here to supplement and be where law enforcement is not and help them support the border,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Davis told the\u00a0Los Angeles Times<\/a>\u00a0on Monday.\u00a0\u201cThere\u2019s nothing malicious, there\u2019s no malicious intent.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Secure Our Border \u2014 Laredo Sector has so far set up a command center in the border town of Van Ormy, Texas, according to\u00a0KRGV<\/a>, and is now reportedly preparing for a\u00a0military-style operation<\/a>. The federal officials tasked with actually monitoring the borders aren\u2019t thrilled, though, and are asking Davis\u2019 crew and similar self-styled militias to leave homeland security to the professionals.<\/p>\n “Customs and Border Protection does not endorse or support any private group or organization from taking matters into their own hands as it could have disastrous, personal and public safety consequence,”<\/em>that agency said in a statement sent to the network this week.\u00a0“CBP appreciates the efforts of concerned citizens as they act as our eyes and ears. Securing our nation’s borders can be dangerous. Interdicting narcotics and deterring and apprehending individuals illegally entering the US requires highly trained law enforcement personnel.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Indeed, the tactics being advocated by Davis aren\u2019t exactly the same ones taught to the Customs and Border Protections agents currently under fire following reports that more than 52,000 unaccompanied children have been apprehended after crossing the Mexican border into the US, according to Customs and Border Patrol. Until last week, Davis\u2019 own YouTube channel contained a video in which he gave fellow militia members instructions on how to handle any illegal immigrants they might encounter.<\/p>\n “You see an illegal. You point your gun dead at him, right between his eyes, and you say, ‘Get back across the border or you will be shot,'”<\/em>\u00a0Davis said in the clip, which has since been taken offline.<\/p>\n This week, he expressed a much different plan to KRGV.\u00a0“We’re not here to cause discontent or hate in any measure. We are going to treat the innocent immigrants with all due humanitarian respect,”<\/em>\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n Furthermore, there\u2019s a very real possibility that the armed civilians patrolling the border will make enemies with the drug cartels and other gangs who deal in illegal doings near the international boundary.<\/p>\n \u201cThey’re going to do everything they can to quell an operation like this,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Davis told KRGV of his group.\u201cThe only reason why they don’t mess with law enforcement is because it will start an international incident,”<\/em>\u00a0Davis said.<\/p>\n
