It's rather funny that these people want to be weekend warriors, if they want to fight so bad, or help their country, why not sign up for the US military, they seem to need some people, or even the real border guards, at least then they'll get paid and have benefits.

Man, some people are clueless to what this group is about. That would be a great army, a bunch of baby boomers and retiree's in lawn chairs. Not everyone can literally fight on the frontlines of every issue. This is nothing more than using freedom of speech to protest. No different than marching at a gay rights rally, camping outside Bush's ranch, or displaying a catchy political sticker on your car.
All they are trying to draw enough attention to the border issue that the government will ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. They aren't sneaking around in the woods with camo and automatic rifles or taking the law into their own hands.
They actually have more 'right' to do what they are doing than the mob that is marching in California currently because the minutemen actually have the right of free speech protected under the Constitution. Most from the march in CA do not.
