they decide to play border patrol.

Compare them to a group like MADD, who is concerned with drunk driving. You don't see them setting up their personal DUI checkpoints. You don't see them belittling and mocking drunk drivers on their website. If they did those things, that would make them pretty weird, too.
I can't even work with this analogy. Would illegals mind getting in line on Southwest Trafficway and calmly and slowly showing KCMO PD their credentials? Actually, Personal DUI Checkpoints make much more sense than Personal Illegal Immigrant border crossings.
