The majority like the Minutemen-they know what their doing is good-and their supporters are growing daily
You know why the others say it-anyone with sense knows why
To add to your post-all races-including many Indians, Japanese, French, and more than I can name have joined the team.
Angela -I would like to see that link too. Or you can ignore a few of our requests and pretend you don't see that we asked.

Because they stand for something that people don't like and don't want to see. Just like on here if your anti illegal all the pros call you racist same thing....it boils down to the race card once again, if enough people call the minute men racist then eventually people will start to believe that and feel guilty for supporting the minute men. And eventually even saying something civil about them will be a bad thing.....
Jim T what are you smoking?? "There are more illegal immigrants from Europe in the USA" then from a country south of the US's border??? Now that is just a bold faced LIE....give me the numbers please!!!! lol
And for the record I think Angela R is lying when she says the minute men were booted out of her community...if your telling the truth Angela then post a link.....cause I for one don't believe you. Border towns and ranchers are having it bad right now and your saying your little community has no problems?? I've seen some of your posts....what a fairy tale...you probably live on the Canadian border....

You could call them many things because of their tactics. Shoot first, ask questions later is not the best policy when many of these immigrants just want better lives, not even as good as the ones we have... Walls are not a solution, Allowing parts of Mexico to join the USA is... They can't handle their own government, so parts that are willing to be governed by us, can join in at their free will, and then Mexicans would have a place in Mexico they could go for what we have until eventually all of Mexico was apart of the USA.

Because it's usually the criminal element that screams that nonsense and of course their squirrel brained supporters. It's the only thing left they have to stand on. When you hear them call you a racist, their favorite word they usually cannot even spell, you know you have won an argument. It's pretty simple. Small minds cannot articulate very many words and since "racist" is a two syllable word, that's pushing their mental capacity to the limit, thus being THEIR best argument. Pretty sad, huh?
The guy above me is brilliant.

The Minutemen do a great service to this country!! They volunteer their time and their money, to do the job our government REFUSES to do!!
They are put through a screening process,before they allow anyone to join, because they don't want any racists or whackos. A LOT of them are retired police officers and military people. And,yes,you are right,they DO have hispanics among them!!
These people are nothing less than HEROES!!!

The MM actions are not about stopping illegal immigration, and they are not officially racist. They attract racist people, however.
They are radical conspiracy theorists. They believe illegal immigrants are an indication of the conspiracy to cause the US downfall.
The MM orgs were founded to disrupt a massive conspiracy. Many believe that the US is being attacked by "Globalists" intent on enslaving the US population as in the movie "Roller Ball."
They believe that we shall lose all civil rights, the Supreme Court shall fall, our presidents are traitors, and even most of our politicians are active collaborators with non-specific "elitists."
They believe that we will lose our rights and be under foreign control by 2010.
So their actions appear noble, but their conclusions are based on flawed logic and interpretation of facts and events. I believe that they are more prone to incite violence among other radical pro-immigration groups.
Their web forums are full of contradictory hate-speech.
I was planning on joining a MM-like org. I did my homework. Read my bio.

Don't know. I would have to say that the people who are against the ones (Minute Men) that try to uphold American federal laws are dictators.
Minute Men do this country a great service, and for free!
------------------
To ANYONE who says it is because they are against those of another racial group... that is ridiculous. So I suppose that anyone that is "of another racial group" has a free pass to break laws. I'm white, am I of "another racial group"?
Also, what racial group do they go after? 80% are Mexican, so what about the other 20%? If one was white, THEY STILL WOULD NOT GET THROUGH!!!
This is NOT racist.

people refer to them as racist because they are picking a certain race to go after. There are many more illegal immigrants from the European countries here in the US and nobody, not even congress or the President is going after them, could it be because they are white? I don't know.

The term racist is now just a way of trying to use the hammer of poliical correctness to shut another down or drown him out.
It is used in the exact same way that the threat of saying "child molester" in divorce cases!
I stand behind the REASONS and the logic of anything I say and believe and no amout of rhetoric from the opposition can shut me down, because truth can not be beaten!

It's mostly the illegals who are screaming that. And not just about them, but anyone and everyone who takes a stand to uphold and enforce the law and call them what they really are, criminals. They do it to cloud and confuse things and to distract from the fact that they are breaking several laws to be here.
Proud member of the Minutemen!
