The Minuteman Project (MMP) is a citizens' Vigilance Operation monitoring immigration, business, and government. MMP has no affiliation with, nor will we accept any assistance by or interference from, separatists, racists, or supremacy groups.
But if an organization needs to put that at the top it's website, well I think it's safe to asssume that it attracts alot of racists.

Here's a picture of two minutemen.



Notice that home made sign they are holding has the same fear mongering image as the neo-Nazi group, National Alliance has on their billboard.

Nazis, racists join Minuteman Project

Of course most of this is anecdotal and you have to consider the source, SPLC, which can be overly alarmist itself. But one must question the mental stability of guys who want to dress up in camo and go play soldier/cop in the desert hunting for some non-existant threat. It is a recipe for disaster that impedes security.

You don't know the motivation of all of these "border vigilantes" because everyone has their own reasons for doing it. Of course some may be there for benign reasons such as a false sense of patriotism, some time alone in the desert to "get their head together", a sense of comraderie, relive their "glory days" in the military etc. The simple kooks.

But there is no doubt that others are there for more nefarious reasons. Alot of crimes against undocumented aliens will naturally go unreported for obvious reasons. There will always be people that prey on those who are afraid to report incidents to law enforcement.


Here is a t-shirt from a minuteman.


Barton is obviously racist punk. And of course most of these guys are kooks.

The FBI needs to watch these guys and the local LEO's very carefully.
