maybe he did get the name wrong, but he seems like one of the “good guys” that we need more of in this country... lots of border info among other info on the MM site
Mike
They are good guys don’t worry. Numerous complaints were broadcasted in the local media outlets at the border because these guys were actually helping to deter the illegals from crossing the border and into San Diego County. As you all know, when the MSM tries to demonize a group, you KNOW they are FOR THE CONSTITUTION.
If he is one of the good guys he will change the name immediately.
about Jim Gilchrist per MM website:::
Jim Gilchrist founded the multi-ethnic Minuteman Project on October 1, 2004 after years of frustrated efforts trying to get a neglectful U.S. government to simply enforce existing immigration laws.
Jim holds a B.A. in newspaper journalism, a B.S. in business administration, and an M.B.A. in taxation. He is a former newspaper reporter and a retired California CPA (Certified Public Accountant).
Jim is a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps and recipient of the Purple Heart award for wounds sustained while serving with an infantry unit in Vietnam, 1968–1969.
Mr. Gilchrist is a passionate defender of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and an avid supporter of law enforcement organizations. He has appeared on over 4,000 radio, TV, and print media interviews, and he believes he is only one of millions of 21st century minutemen / women / children who want the U.S. to remain governed by the “rule of law” and who want proactive enforcement of our national security protections and our immigration legal code.
Jim has lived in California since 1976 and currently resides in Aliso Viejo with his wife, Sandy.
