Minutemen is a name given to members of the militia of the American Colonies, who would be ready for battle in a minute's notice.
The term minutemen has also been applied to various later United States' military units to recall the success and patriotism of the originals.
There is also Minuteman Project since you did put this is the IMMIGRATION CATEGORY:
The Minuteman Project Civil Defense Corps was started in April 2005 by a group of American citizens to deter illegal crossings of the United States–Mexico border. Their stated mission is to stop the flow of illegal immigration by monitoring the border and alerting the United States Border Patrol to the presence of unauthorized crossers. In addition to physically holding vigil over the border, they engage in political protest and other forms of activism. President George W. Bush has referred to the Minutemen as vigilantes

You must be bored asking questions like that... Can't you do any better???
I think they do a terrific job trying to help protect this country. Our government won't get off their A** to do anything so the minute men got tired of our borders being so unprotected, and they took it among themselves to do their part as Americans to do something about it... I appreciate what they are doing, too bad the government won't hire them so they can get paid for what they do... They have really helped out a lot. We need more like them to get involved.
Some of these answers on here are also so immature, especially the ones pertaining to sex.. I just can't imagine adults writing things like that...
BooBoolu some of the minutemen are Mexican American ...

You are very immature. The name minutemen comes from early American militia men. You show your ignorance and immaturity once again.

A guy who can be ready in a minute for war. But in the bed a guy who can only last for a minute in bed. Definetly someone who is not experienced or someone who has a problem.
