Minutemen gather for Texas watches
FALFURRIAS, Texas Tim Warren has been feeling the industrial job market tighten since high school, and he blames illegal immigration.So when the 42-year-old aircraft mechanic heard the "minutemen" volunteer border patrols that drew the world's eyes to Arizona were coming to Texas, he decided to join. This evening, he and dozens of others were planning to take posts somewhere around the 10,000-acre ranch owned by a couple that is fed up with migrants' trampling. In April, volunteers with the Arizona Minuteman Project staged an operation that they say helped federal agents catch 335 illegal immigrants. Leader Chris Simcox said then that the group would expand to other states on the Mexican and Canadian borders if the federal government didn't send troops. Today was the start of monthlong operations in 12 states, including all four southern border states and eight northern border states.
