Gary:

So where in all that does it say they are illegal aliens?

I haven't expressed an opinion the case. Actually, I think the Barnetts acted stupidly, but then so did the trespassers. I don't believe the Barnetts should have to pay them any money.

My whole reason for getting involved here is simply to correct what appears to be a factual error in the subject line of this thread - according to the news reports I've seen, the trespassers were Americans and not illegals.

I haven't seen you post anything to refute that. If you can't, I'd consider editing the subject line. I'm going back to music related posts now.
