The Minuteman Project gained notoriety in April when volunteers policed the Arizona desert against illegal immigrants crossing from Mexico.
Nearly 2,000 miles north of that first effort, a small number of Chicagoans who volunteered in Arizona are bringing the fighillegal immigration with incendiary rhetoric against some immigrant advocates, whom they call communiLindenhurst, co-founder of the Chicago proje Biesada, an ex-Marine who runs a trucking company, said he could relate to the original Minutemen, colonists who said they were ready to fight at a minute's notice during the Revolutionary War.
He considers many current politicians to be committing treason.
"In the old days, they used to hang these suckers," Biesada said on a recent radio show.
Biesada said the dangers of illegal immigration hit home after the 2001 terrorist attacks.
"I'm doing this for my grandchildren," he said.
He is even more outraged now because the U.S.-Mexico border remains porous, Biesada said.
"Even the lowliest private knows that the first thing you do in a dangerous situation is secure your perimeter," he said.
Other side on alert
Despite its small numbers, the Chicago Minuteman Project's entry into the heated immigration debate has

Immigration ping.
PS Chris Simcox called me yesterday to encourage us to keep up the good work!!
Only 15,000? There are more Mexicans than that in Chicago.
Attention INS: 15,000 illegal aliens predicted to be headed to Chicago to protest the Chicago Minuteman project-bring lots of nets.
Quick, some one call the INS, Oh Forget it! Chicago is a sanctuary city...per our mayor Daley.
You know I am suffering from depression NOW!! SUCH REJECTION!! 15,000 people do not want me in Chicago!!
Keep the pressure on.
Immigration ping!!
Ping
Thought you would want a ping!!
I am sending some cool weather from the state west of you to maybe help you in your depression.
They gained "fame", not "notoriety". These people are "invaders", not "immigrants". "Immigrants" legally enter a nation according to its naturalization and immigration laws. These people do not. His rhetoric isn't "incendiary", its "accurate" and "justifiably incensed". This is how the leftist mainstream media use Orwellian "Newspeak" to defame people they disagree with.
This is good news!
ping. and nice job rewriting this using accurate words. MSM is pro-invasion, pro-destruction of America, pro-treason, pro-Iraqi terrorist and big-time pro-Democrat. Screw the MSM! They too need to look with fear over their shoulders. I hope the judge in the NY Times case puts that broad in jail for a year.
The thing that gets me about the state and local governments that say they are sanctuary for illegals is that these same people complain about the drain on their budgets by the influx of illegal immigrants. Then they want the federal government to subsidize them. If they won't help police these people up they should suck it up and shut up.
Interesting how the further you get from the border the more anarchist show up to protest. Carry a sign that says "Stop the RACIST MEXICAN GOVERNMENTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION"
Yeah, everybody gets to vote in Chicago. The voters are just so darn concientious they are voting several times Daley.
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,

>>"I'm doing this for my grandchildren," he said.<<
This is the part I DO NOT understand.
Speak with anyone over 45 and ask what they did last weekend and they tell you about what they did with THEIR grandchildren. Not a word about their sons and daughters, just how life is unfolding for their beautiful grandchildren.
I know that politicians have grandchildren also. GHW Bush has grandchildren. I assume, he thinks his grandchildren are not going to be affected at all by the illegal immigration invasion. Is this what all legislators believe? I hope not!
So, how can legislators pull the rug right out from under their own grandchildren by allowing and voting to increase illegal alien immigration? Do they love power and authority so much that the don't love their grandchildren at all?
If that is the case then we need to replace every legislator in the entire country because they certainly do not represent the average grandparent. Tell your sons and daughter to run for office and we'll get this problem taken care of quickly.
