The Washington Times anticipates additional Minutemen patrols in other states:
There aren’t many border-control success stories these days, but Arizona’s Minuteman Project is quickly becoming one. For observers wondering how average Americans can contribute meaningfully to homeland security, the Minutemen are becoming something of a model.
...In their first week, the binoculared and infrared-equipped Minutemen spotted dozens of suspected illegals and reported them to the Border Patrol. In one of their first encounters with illegals, as Jerry Seper of The Washington Times reported from Palominas, Ariz., volunteers rescued a dehydrated and emaciated illegal.
...“We want to show that force of numbers secures the border,” [Minuteman organizer Chris Simcox] told the Chronicle. Of course, he’s only right if we have civilian patrols along the whole stretch of the border. Which we may soon have if Minuteman successes continue.
...Privately, Minutemen are getting word from agents in the field that they appreciate their help. As Mr. Simcox told Fox News Thursday morning, agents are giving the “thumbs up” to the volunteers.
