 :: The minutemen are very much a racist organization, even though they don't want to be labeled as such and it ""inconveniences"" their supporters.  I'm quite sure I read somewhere, something along the lines of ""Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free""...  But that doesn't hold anymore according to them.  Furthermore, it's very hipocritical that the people behind this movement have last names like Gilchrist and Simcox, which honestly don't sound very ""native-american"" to me.  Ask them why aren't they patroling the border between Canada and the US?  Ask them why aren't they patroling the coasts of Florida to stop the influx of Cuban immigrants there...  The argument that they just want the laws enforced is just crap!  If they care so much about the law, why aren't they fighting drug traffic, robbers and murders?  Problems that do affect the community.  I'll tell you why...  It's because of those dangerous mexicans!   Imagine how bad it is in their country, that the immigrants are willing to die crossing the scorching desert heat and dodge trigger-happy rednecks just for the priviledge of scrubbing our toilets and picking up strawberries under the sun.  Hell!  The real ""lucky"" ones get to work at Wallmart!  Imagine that!  Jobs that most of us Americans won't do because we'd rather be on welfare that go under the sun to pick up grapes."
