Okay. . .but what does this have to do with the Minutemen?

They are not out administering justice. . .they monitor and report criminal acts. . .kind of a neighborhood Watch on a larger scale.. . .even less so, since they don't intervene.

Attendees who were not members of the club were charged $5 and reportedly had to write down their names, addresses and telephone numbers to get inside.

This is a problem? Where in the constitution are you guaranteed the right to attend and disrupt a private gathering? Could I show up to a gathering of the country club's annual banquet in my skivies, demand to be admitted and claim my rights were being violated if I were asked to leave?

BS. They are interfering with the Border Patrol Agents and making their jobs harder than they already are. Picture yourself in a helicopter patrolling the border and having your co-pilot spot a bunch of people with rifles sitting on the border. These jerks are lucky they aren't dead.
