Militia groups and far-right activists are gearing up to head to the Mexican border to try to stop a migrant caravan from entering the United States, as conservatives and the far-right escalate their warnings about the supposed dangers it poses.

Earlier this week, the U.S. Border Patrol warned landowners in Texas that they could expect “possible armed civilians” on their property because of the news about the caravan. The exact details of when and where the militia would deploy are unclear, but one militia leader told the Associated Press that they would have upwards of 100 members guarding the Mexico-Texas border.

“They’re just laughing in our face,” Shannon McGauley, president of the Texas Minutemen, said. “It’s a free-for-all in America.” Another militia supporter, Monica Marin, from Oregon, said that she raised around $4,000 online to help militias with supplies and equipment.

“I see young, fighting-age men who do not look like they’re starving. They look like they’re ready to fight,” Marin told the AP.  “We’re trained. [But] we’re not hotheads. We’re not out there to shoot people.”

3. Translation

“We’re trained. [But] we’re not hotheads. We’re not out there to shoot people.” translated means

"We're itching to shoot some illegals."

5. Well, from the one photo in the linked article

I counted around 16 "young men" (aged anywhere from 15 to 45 I guess) and around 14 women and children.

Some people were of indeterminate sex so they weren't counted.

At least a few of the "young men" were fathers or other relatives of some of the children (holding their hands or having them sit in their laps )

Nobody appears to be armed... no one appears to be "ready to fight".

So I'm really not sure of what pictures the MAGAts are looking at, but it probably isn't one of the actual refugees.

11. ...

15. When our militias establish camps on the Rio Grande and

issue their calls for money and supplies, I will not send money because they will use it to buy arms and ammo. But, I will send them snack treats, such as candy dicks.

17. Maybe they won't vote

[GulfCoast66]

18. These fuckers are going to get killed

Many landowners on the boarder hate the idea of the wall and see Mexicans across the boarder as friends. They find a bunch of armed yahoos on their land waiting to shoot Mexicans, they are going to be pissed.
