In the spring of 2005, the Minuteman Project burst onto the national scene and decisively altered America's immigration debate. Led by founders Jim Gilchrist and Chris Simcox, hundreds of patriotic Americans flocked to the Arizona desert and began staging patrols along the Mexican border.

The efforts of these self-described "Minutemen" to stem the tide of illegal immigration quickly made the headlines. Although President Bush denounced them as "vigilantes," most Americans supported them. Soon thousands more were volunteering.

Yet—typical of nascent political forms—as the Minutemen movement grew, it also splintered. A few months after their first patrol, Gilchrist and Simcox parted ways. Simcox went on to found the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, while Gilchrist remained at the helm of the Minuteman Project.

In the meantime, other "Minuteman" groups began springing up all over the country. Some of these proved short-lived. Many merged with larger groups. Others remained stubbornly independent.

As a result of all of this, it quickly became very difficult to tell the various groups apart. This list is VDARE.COM's attempt to bring some order to this organizational chaos. Note that we do not take sides in any internecine dispute. As always, our object is to provide a forum to patriotic immigration reformers of all stripes.

I have sorted out the groups by the state in which they operate. Most are affiliated with either the Minuteman Project (Gilchrist) or Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (Simcox). Headings indicate which group is affiliated with which. Unaffiliated groups have no such headings.

For example, California has a heading for the Minuteman Project. Any groups bullet-pointed below that heading are affiliated with the Minuteman Project. California also has a heading for the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps of California. Any groups bullet-pointed below that heading are affiliated with the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. There are also various independent groups, such as the Campo Minuteman Project, the San Diego Minutemen, etc. None of these are placed under any organizational heading because they are stand-alone groups.

The only groups listed here are those accessible online. A group is listed as affiliated with MMP or MCDC if it is listed as such on one of these groups' national websites. (In other words, if you lead one of these groups and say that you're not affiliated with MMP or MCDC, call them, not us!) The contact information provided for each of the groups was valid as of October, 2007.

VDARE.COM's Minutemen Map is an ongoing project. Please email me with any additions, amplifications, corrections etc.
