| Minutemen Prepare to Head North to Vermont Border |
| 2005-05-10 |
| EFL "We're reviving the civil defense movement in this country. It's our duty as U.S. citizens to participate in securing our nation," said organizer Chris Simcox. "You have Canada being a sanctuary country. They allow refugee status to people that we might not necessarily give the same protection to," Simcox said. U.S. customs and border protection officials would not talk to FOX News about the matter, but the former special agent in charge of Washington state's border said Americans have reason for concern about individuals entering the country from Canada. "Every terrorist organization in the world has a representation there in the Vancouver area. It is an easy jump-off point to come across the border here into the United States and go anywhere," said former agent Carey James. |

| #6 This summer I will join the Minutemen, my station will be somewhere on a beach on the west shore of Michigan, to repel any Canuck invaders who slip through the Straits of Mackinac. |

| #5 OK, three of those should be no problem, but I really wonder about Michigan. Where exactly are they going to be? On the Ambassador bridge in Detroit? On whatever bridge goes from Port Huron to Sarnia? In boats on the St. Claire River? Up at Sault Ste. Marie in the locks? Ranting minds want to know. |

| #4 Update from across the border: I didn't realize that the Minutemen will patrol across the border from Quebec Province. The article also mentions that the Minutemen have issued plans to patrol Canadian borders at four state lines - Idaho, Michigan and North Dakota in additon to Vermont. |

| #2 Would that be Vermont's border with Canada or Vermont's border with Massachusetts? ;) |
