Anti-Illegal Immigration Group To Make Greensboro Stop
POSTED: 2:59 pm EDT May 10, 2006
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- A group which organizes armed citizen patrols at the U.S.-Mexican border will present its side of the immigration issue in Greensboro on Wednesday.
The Minuteman Project is planning a rally at 7 p.m., although the location hasn't been set. Minuteman co-founder Jim Gilchrist will be on hand to speak and meet with supporters.
The appearance is part of a U.S. tour scheduled to end in Washington DC on Friday. The group clashed with counter-protesters at Tuesday night's rally in Atlanta, and with groups in other cities during the tour.
A local chapter of the International Socialist Organization said it plans to stage a protest at around the same time to show the Minuteman group it's not wanted in town.
Minutemen have called for tougher immigrant laws and organizing citizen border patrols at the U.S./Mexico border.

GREENSBORO, N.C. - A group which organizes armed citizen patrols at the U.S.-Mexican border will present its side of the immigration issue in Greensboro tonight.
The Minuteman Project is planning a rally at 7 p.m., although the location hasn't been set. Minuteman co-founder Jim Gilchrist will be on hand to speak and meet with supporters.
A local chapter of the International Socialist Organization says it plans to stage a protest at around the same time to show the Minuteman group it's not wanted in town.
Large protests have accompanied a number of the Minuteman rallies. At a rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico, violence erupted between Minuteman members and what an event coordinator says was "Mexican gangs."

Minuteman rally canceled
By Joe Killian
Staff Writer
GREENSBORO -- The Minuteman Project rally scheduled for tonight was abruptly canceled today. The group, which organizes armed patrols of the US-Mexico border, said the event would not be rescheduled.
Rick Rose, owner of American Furniture Warehouse on High Point Road, where the group was set to rally, said he had been misinformed about what type of group the Minuteman Project was.
"We were told that they were some sort of church group on a mission, and we agreed to let them stop here," Rose said.
Rose learned from a story in the News & Record who the Minuteman project actually were, he said.
"I have nothing against immigrants, I do a lot of trade with Mexico and I don't want anything to do with that type of group," Rose said. "If they show up here I'll have them escorted off the property."
A Minuteman representative who asked not to be named said the group will move on to Washington D.C. - the next stop on their 13-city caravan tour.
Calls to the International Socialist Organization, which was staging a protest against the group downtown, were not immediately returned Wednesday afternoon. There is no word on whether that protest will go on.
