Upon further consideration, I think it would make for an interesting storyline for a single militia group to fall under the spell of a charismatic leader who leads small groups on cross-border raids. Obviously, Mexico will take steps to deal with it. Obviously, government agencies in the US will take steps to deal with it. Nevertheless, with some imagination and instincts for narration, I think one could talk about an out-of-control militia group causing major ripples. Of course, steps must be taken to avoid abusing suspension of disbelief. Nevertheless, although I don’t believe border patrolling militia groups as a whole will cause international incidents, a given group of susceptible folks might fall under the sway of just the right sort to make an interesting story and help set the stage for deteriorating US-Mexico relations.
