The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps is a group headed by Chris Simcox dedicated to preventing illegal crossings of the U.S. border. Arguing that the government is not sufficiently concerned with securing the U.S. border,[1] they have organized several state chapters, with the intention of providing law enforcement agencies with evidence of immigration law violations[2].

There is a standard operating procedure (SOP) that must be followed by Minutemen volunteers. Rules include not speaking to, approaching, gesturing towards or having physical contact in any way with any suspected border crossers they may see These men feel they are americans because they wre born on "american soil" but California texas, arizona used to be mexico as a matter of fact the only true americans were the american indians they were here first if they care to get all technical. [3] The organization has been criticized as being a right-wing militia.[4]
