The '''Minuteman Project''' is an activist organization that works to enforce existing [[immigration]] laws, and prevent the flow of [[illegal immigration]] on the [[U.S.]]-[[Mexican]] border. Their name is based on [[Minutemen|militiamen]] who fought in the [[American Revolution]].
The '''Minuteman Project''' is an [[American]] [[conservative]] activist organization that works to enforce existing [[immigration]] laws, and prevent the flow of [[illegal immigration]] on the [[U.S.]]-[[Mexican]] border. Their name is based on [[Minutemen|militiamen]] who fought in the [[American Revolution]].
The [[Minutemen]] are a group of usually [[conservative]] American [[citizen]]s who volunteer to patrol the [[border]] between the [[United States]] and [[Mexico]] in order to assist in the effort to stop [[illegal immigration]] into the country. The men are volunteers and receive no support from the government for their efforts. Numerous attempts have been made by [[leftist]] groups to have the Minutemen shut down, including unsubstantiated accusations of [[violence]] and [[racism]] against [[illegal]]s. Though the volunteers are [[Second Amendment|armed]], their [[firearm]]s are for [[self defense]] against the [[criminal]]s and [[gang]]s who [[smuggling|smuggle]] illegal [[drug]]s and groups of illegals across the border. The Minutemen do not [[shooting|fire]] on anyone unless fired upon as a matter of policy, instead detaining illegals until the authorities can [[deportation|deport]] them. They do not, therefore, fit the definition of a [[vigilante]] group, as they do not take the law into their own hands, instead choosing to freely assist their community's [[law enforcement]], essentially a [[Neighborhood Crime Watch]] for the Mexican border. Their being armed is assisted by [[Arizona]] being a "[[constitutional carry]]" state and [[Texas]] having less [[gun control]] than other [[liberal]] [[unfree state]]s like [[California]].
The issue of the Minutemen is another example of [[liberal deceit]], in which the [[mainstream media]] uses accusations of racism to shift debate from the issue of illegal immigration and onto the motives and character of volunteer watchmen.
