CHICAGO--More than 150 antiracist activists protested May 4 against the anti-immigrant vigilante group the Minuteman Project, shutting down their meeting.
Originally, a member of the Minutemen was invited to debate an activist from the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) at a church in Chicago’s multiracial Logan Square neighborhood. The night before the event, however, the ICIRR backed out after it learned that a neo-Nazi group had put out a call to come support the Minutemen.
But that didn’t deter activists. While 60 demonstrated outside with chants like, “No Nazis, no Minuteman--we oppose your fascist plan,” another 90 gathered inside the church.
The church pastor didn’t begin the meeting with a prayer, but with a singing of the national anthem. The pastor then announced that, since the ICIRR had withdrawn, a statement would be read on its behalf, and that Rosanna Pulido, the Latina spokesperson of the Illinois Minutemen, would then have the floor.
But for protesters, this action was tantamount to giving racists a megaphone. “All the media is here. If no one came to oppose [the Minutemen], how would they do anything but grow?” said Saba Khan, one of the “Anti-Minutemen 5,” a group of activists arrested in October 2005 for protesting against the Illinois Minutemen

Hold the phone....
Why are Americans fascists if we want to enforce our border, but Mexico which treats illegals violently, and the rest of the world's countries which do enforce their borders not?
Socialist writing and rhetoric is always the same.
It seems to have a certain first-grade childishness to it. And it's always about "we".
"We oppose your fascist plan" means since we oppose it it must be fascist. And WE are just evere so important.
It's so pouty and infantile.
I expected it to get hotter sooner. They'll not be able to keep the lid on for long.
IF ANYONE CAN FIND OUT WHAT "CHURCH" AND "PASTOR" THIS WAS,PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
I HAVE A HUNCH IT WAS LIBERAL,SOCIALIST MOST LIKELY WCC MEMBERS.
GODSPEED!
they invade and suppress the indigenous people.
The Minuteman are merely the first line of defense.....a warning call.
"Why are Americans fascists if we want to enforce our border, but Mexico which treats illegals violently, and the rest of the world's countries which do enforce their borders not?"
They need to redefine the opposition in order to fool the public into thinking they're the good guys. Old, old Marxist trick. It's all they and their supporters really have.
Stop the madness, stop the illegals from breaking and entering into this country with armed guards on the border, deport the invaders, problem solved!
The illegals are responsible for raising the deficit by billions, they are dividing Americans and they are responsible for the race card being played when they advocate getting rid of "gringo" "whites". They are the racists! They should know what a nazi looks like when they look into a mirror.
Exactly! AND whiny.
That's what I thought, and BTW notice where this article was taken from...Socialist news...hmmmmm

One thing about these anti-America types, they stay on message. They simply refuse to even acknowledge that this is about illegals.
Anyone know if the minutemen have a website up? are they looking to raise money?
I've had about enough of this.
