Despite stories like the one above, the press is reporting that the East Coast [is] cold to Minuteman Project:

    The Minuteman Project is bringing its lawn chairs and border-watching volunteers to the U.S. Northeast starting Oct. 1, but its quest to catch illegal immigrants has run into problems.

    Co-founder Chris Simcox said simply: “People on the East Coast couldn't care less.”

    The civilian project has been highly visible on the Mexican border, and it set up similar if smaller groups in the U.S. northwest. But Mr. Simcox said the northeast has been the most challenging.

    An organizational meeting on Long Island earlier this month drew dozens of protesters.

    Simcox said in a phone interview. “It's a sign that terrorism is alive and well in this country.”

    In Arizona, the site of the group's first project, Simcox said volunteers helped catch 335 illegal immigrants.
