Minutemen making roads in Iowa – Anti-immigration group has chapters in 11 counties – (key primary state)
Tagged: Iowa, minutemenPosted on: September 10th, 2007“Although organizers say most Iowans have never heard of them, the controversial anti-immigration group has been active in the state for more than a year. Members say they are developing chapters in Iowa because the state and country have reached a crisis point in immigration enforcement.
The group alarms many who call it extremist.
“We would put the Minuteman movement as a potentially violent fringe of the nativist movement in this country,” said Devin Burghart, who tracks anti-immigrant groups as director of the Chicago-based Center for New Community’s Building Democracy Initiative.”
