In Northeast, Minuteman Project finding few takers
By Cara Anna, Associated Press Writer | September 21, 2005

<snip> An organizational meeting on Long Island earlier this month already drew dozens of protesters, some accusing the group of being anti-immigrant or racist.

"We've seen some aggressive opposition in the New York area," Simcox said during a phone interview. "It's a sign that terrorism is alive and well in this country." <snip>

Simcox says he's "done some scouting" with the Border Patrol in the region in recent weeks. But all three Border Patrol sectors in the Northeast say they've had no contact with Simcox or the Minuteman Project.

"We don't work with them," said Ross DeLacy, a Border Patrol spokesman for the Swanton, Vt., district. "We don't encourage them to patrol the border and mimic what we do." <snip>

4. How about a left wing minuteman project
Instead of scaring off immigrants, we can scare off right-wing domestic terrorists and send'em back to the boonies!
