Minuteman Project ready to return to border amid wave of illegal immigration
Fox News ^ | July 10, 2014 | Joshua Rhett Miller

The Minuteman Project -- the controversial civilian patrol that came to prominence a decade ago -- is riding out of retirement in a bid to help tackle the illegal immigration crisis at the Mexico border.

The group, which patrolled parts of the 2,000-mile border from 2005-2010, acting as unarmed and unsanctioned eyes and ears of the Border Patrol, is trying to recruit a force of thousands to help keep illegal immigrants from making their way into the United States from Mexico. Minutemen founder and president Jim Gilchrist said preparation for "Operation Normandy" will take place over the next 10 months as the dormant group seeks to recruit and organize as many as 3,500 volunteers.

Finger in the dike.

Mexico enables its OWN citizens to cross the line illegally.
We are doomed.

It all depends on when the US House Members force “”Blank Check” Boehner to resign as Speaker.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to do this unarmed.

Oh NO!

This could be a real tear-jerker for the greatest defender of Tyrant Wannabe Obama that any loyal member of THE CULT OF OBAMANATION could hope for!

EXCELLENT MUST SEE 6 minute Bill Whittle video on unrestricted illegal immigration and the leftist hypocrites advancing it.
It’s looking a lot like 1933 and we’d better wake the hell up!!
Please help this one also go viral!

The way this malmisadministration works, for every 1 unarmed Patriot, they will send 5 armed NG troops to the border to police the unarmed.

Send 5,000 and we will have 25000 armed troops. Then the Governor can take over HIS National Guard troops.

I saw Gilchrist interviewed a couple of weeks ago...he said he’d regroup if there was enough interest. Good to see that there’s an interest.

I’m glad the “vigilantes” are back.....
