I looked at the sites for all 3, and the Paul Revere society seems more values-based, while the minutemen project etc are actually putting people along the US/Mexico border to help dissuade the northward mexican migration.
Unfortunately, none of the three sites had a lot to say about mexico's economic squalor, the driving force behind the migration...until you get to the core of the problem, you're just treating symptoms, and in this case, it's the mexican people being led to believe by their leaders that they can have huge families and that jobs and opportunities will exist for them. The catholic church in mexico's also been active in this area, and so has our very own 'pro-growth' george bush. I guess they figure if they can't get americans to have more kids, they'll import someone else's....but, they're infamous for their lack of math skills, and they somehow forgot there's like 6.5 billion people in the world...who'd gladly take up in the US given 1/2 a chance.
They also somehow forgot that most americans don't like the idea of their communities being bum-rushed...basically you have politicians out there, doing what they always do...

The Paul Revere Society does not protest along the border...Yet.

I admire them both. I guess they got tired of waiting for our government to actually do something so they had to do something themselves. As far as the difference goes, I think that the Minutemen stay on the border and the other guys ride all over the country. I'm not sure about that but I think that is the primary difference. I wish people would organize more here. My husband and I have tried along with some friends and we have made some progress but not enough. There are still way too many trespassers here.

One is more of a protest group-the other is more of an action group. Both have a little of each other in them
