This weekend there will be held a conference by the Minuteman Project in Las Vegas called “Unite to Fight Against Illegal Immigration Summit”. The project sees itself as “a citizens’ neighborhood watch along our border” — which would be the border between the U.S. and the Mexico. If you skim through their About it gets pretty clear that their conception of man is a clearly racist one:

It is a reminder to Americans that our nation was founded as a nation governed by the “rule of law”, not by the whims of mobs of ILLEGAL aliens who endlessly stream across U.S. borders.

S.W.A.R.M. The MinuteMen are calling out for participating in a virtual sit-in to shut down the pages of the conference for this weekend. Do it! It is your right.

For more background information on migration and its regulation you can read a paper i have written last semester: Migrants: Hopes, Realities, Struggles (PDF). Furthermore there are many interesting resources across the net, such as the noborder network.
