About the Minutemen - MCDC

The Minutemen Civil Defense Corps - MCDC - is usually portrayed as vigilantes who are victimizing poor people who just want a job. While many of the illegals are indeed poor people wanting a job, and they are to be pitied for what they endure to get here, let alone the corruption in their home countries that make their homeland situation intolerable, a substantial number are, in fact, lawless. Drugs, disease and crime of all sorts are rampant on the border and amongst the immigrant community at large. We call ourselves a nation of laws but in this matter it seems to be a selective and overtly neglected responsibility on the part of our government. MCDC activity is strictly aimed at high lighting the illegality problems and forcing our elected officials to do their jobs at all levels, jobs they swore an oath to carry out faithfully. The MCDC organization carefully vets its members with criminal back ground checks and has strict Operating Procedures and mandatory training. By visiting MinutemanHQ.com you can review their Standard Operating Procedures and training manual. They do not interfere with immigrants; their presence is simply reported to the Border Patrol. MCDC does offer humanitarian assistance when needed but then only if they agree to it. MCDC does not detain or give orders to immigrants or hinder them in any way.
