Could infighting end Minuteman movement? Anti-illegal immigration group struggling as chapters disband, donations slow

One of the most visible groups in the anti-illegal immigration movement could be defunct in seven months, its leader says.

Gilchrist, a former California accountant, founded the project in October 2004. In two years, the grass-roots border-control group had grown to boast more than 200 chapters across the country.”*
