<b>Officials Say Minutemen A Security Risk </b>
Border patrol officials say the "Minutemen" are a security nightmare, and because of increasing border violence, they should go home for their own protection.
(Apr 4, 2005) --
MEXICAN-U.S. BORDER-(KSL News) -- Federal Border Patrol agents say they wish the Minutemen vollunteering to patrol the border with Mexico would go home.
Spokesman Jose Maheda says the Minutemen are triggering sensors in the ground that are designed to catch undocumented workers.
"...and now an agent has to go and check on that sensor, and it's just one of these guys walking around activating it. That is just taking away from an agent's primary focus of defending our border."
Minutemen Along the Border
Maheda says agents also have to worry about protecting Minutemen from violent crossers. He says 18,000 caught in the last six months have criminal records in the U.S.
He says his agents carry assault rifles for a reason. 51-percent of illegals caught in the US last year crossed the border in Arizona.
