Minutemen Break-Away Group Patrols California-Mexico Border

CAMPO, CA - JULY 20: A monument marks the southern terminus of the Pacific Crest Trail, which stretches from Canada to Mexico, at the border where nightly patrols by citizen volunteers searching for people crossing into the US illegally from Mexico are occurring, in the early morning hours of July 20, 2005 near Campo, California in eastern San Diego County. The California Border Watch, members of the Arizona Minutemen, and other volunteers carry guns for self-defense and phone the US Border Patrol to report any illegal immigrants they find. They are shadowed by migrant activist protesters opposed to their actions who have been taunting them at regular intervals day and night. The new patrols come as the U.S. Congress considers immigration policy and how to treat the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants already in the United States. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
