    Here's the copy of the petition above.

    Dear President Bush, Members of Congress and Border State Governors:
    Illegal immigration is growing out of control. Everyday hundreds, even thousands of people enter the United States illegally. The illegal alien population has grown so out of control that individual citizens felt the need to step in where the government was refusing to do its job. The Minuteman Project gathered volunteers to stand guard on the Arizona/Mexico border as a statement to the government saying "if you don't act we will". While the first attempt successfully gained media attention, the government's reaction left something to be desired. The Project is currently seeking additional volunteers to stand guard at our border in the following states: Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, California, Michigan, Vermont and Minnesota during the month of October, and will hopefully receive more support from the government.

    These volunteers are not the only ones who feel that the problem is out of hand. According to a Fox News/Opinion Dynamics Poll 91% of Americans polled feel that undocumented immigrants are either a "very serious" or a "somewhat serious" problem. Ninety-four percent of those said their concern was based on concerns of either the economy or terrorism or both. A majority of those polled also favored using the U.S. military to stop illegal immigrants at the border.

    It is not racist or insensitive to deny access to our country's resources, including tax dollars to those who do not wish to follow our laws. It is simply common sense that these people be rounded up and sent back to their country of origin.

    While it is true that it is impossible to stop all illegal immigration, there are steps to take to help prevent it. Just like there are steps taken to help prevent any other law from being broken, laws should exist so that people do not want to enter the United States illegally, as opposed to existing amnesty laws, which encourage it. In fact, Article IV Section 4 of the United States Constitution specifically calls for the Federal government to protect our borders from invasion. It states:

    The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.


    For that reason, it is unconstitutional for the President and members of Congress to sit idle as our borders continue to be invaded by illegals on a daily basis. We therefore call upon the President and our Governors to take action immediately. We request that the National Guard and reserve military units be deployed to assist the U.S. Border Patrol, in order to institute and uphold secure, impenetrable borders.

    Again, this is not racism at work, nor do we wish to deny access to those who wish to follow our laws. Rather we simply want our borders closed to those who will be a drain on society rather than add value to it.
    "Liberty CANNOT be preserved without general knowledge among people" John Adams (August 1765)
