If they are a innocent family then they would probably won't return any fire if they are stopped. And would be held for the State Authorities or just shown the door, I mean the Fence.

If the militias get into this fight, there will be a lot of them killed, and the complications to the overall operations being undertaken by Mexican and American officials will become a lot more complicated.

Some people express concern over thee 2nd amendment being suspended or revoked over this action. This is a non issue as these men are not doing anything illegal, they are simply camping when it comes right down to the base fact.
The other worry is that the feds may intervene, maybe you have never been with a militia group when approached by the “authorities”, they will simply ask the feds to leave them alone.
From there if the feds escalate the militias escalate also.
From there it is a non winnable civil war especially for the feds, who will be the ultimate losers as the militias will be able to muster much more support.
We the people and all.
So don’t worry about our rights, if they press we will press right back.
We have a deal with them from birth, let me live and I will do the same for you.
As for the border report, I have not been there yet but it does come from a reputable source as far as I know.
And the uniform issue, Zetas have a patch to identify them by. I would assume said individuals were either wearing those or dressed commando style.
Either case they are dressed for battle so all bets are off.
And about the illegal immigration issue, if a person with no ill intent except but to cross cares to go through a known war zone, they do so at their own risk.

Well if this story is true, I'd be more comfortable with a source here too, I have no idea who these guys shot, the Mexican government does not use AKs or SKSs and the drug runners do not use uniforms.
This makes it sound a lot more like a hoax to me, but this shows one of the biggest flaws in the independent militia movement to me: Lack of knowledge, lack of experience and a Rambo-complex.
Edit: Nothing over the wires about this yet at the office, but if this did happen you can bet that the media will swarm over it.

Actually the drug runners in the past have geared up exactly
like the mexican military with even a Humvee.
Of course it is entirely possible it was a rogue unit of
the mexican military that decided to upgrade their pay rate.
There is also the chance they were told to cooperate or be killed
like the Narco's do now to public officials there.

If these were Los Zetas and the militia caught them unaware, then posted this online, that's the militia members funeral. Also if commando-dressed LZs are coming into the USA at squad level, then you are going to have some much bigger problems on your hands because they usually hire MS-13 and the Texas Syndicate to do their work in America.
If they are here, you've got big problems.

Jimmy - Perhaps the militias have not "won" an engagement with the US government - yet, but as with everything there is a first time. I think most Americans and most militia members do not want another civil war, but there may come a time when lines will be drawn and we will have to choose sides. The militias likely have more support now than they ever have had before, so that also may come into play.
Also, wasn't it "just the civilian militia" that won our independence from Britain?
edited for clarity - changed "feds" to "US government".

The Continental Army, supported by but not subject of local militia, with the material support of the Kingdom of France, Spain and the Dutch Republic defeated the forces of Great Britain.
The Continental Army was a real army, established by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1775. That's the equal to today's American Army.
