About a dozen members of an illegal immigration watchdog group picketed in front of the New Hampshire Statehouse earlier this week.
Ron Oplinus says the New Hampshire chapter of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps held their rally as a response to pro-immigration rallies held across the country earlier in the week. Oplinus, of Exeter, says the rally also was a response to Cinco de Mayo, a Mexican national holiday.

The Minutemen have patrolled the southern border and parts of the border with Canada for illegal immigration activity. Last month the group announced plans to expand its patrols to New Hampshire's border with Canada.
