The Arizona chapter of the Minuteman Project, an activist organization started in 2005 by private individuals to monitor the United States-Mexico border's flow of illegal immigrants, has announced that they have formed a new Prop 102 enforcement division. The Minuteman Project has been successful for the last 3 years in enforcing the United States border by arming ordinary citizens with powerful military-grade firearms and communications equipment.
Arizona chapter president Jim Gilchrist thinks his members can leverage this specialized equipment and training to help the state enforce Proposition 102 after it passes in November.
"We figure the state is gonna need some help dealing with all the gays from California trying to get in and use our benefits. The California-Arizona border is one of the least secured borders in the world, and we are not willing to stand by while our politicians do nothing and let this crisis spiral out of control," he said.
Members have already set up an observation outpost just outside of the Maricopa County clerk's office in Phoenix, and have began work on a makeshift fence along it's perimeter.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's office thinks the two groups can work together to protect marriage under Prop 102. Sheriff Joe Arpaio expressed his grattitude by saying that "the Minutemen do good work and if they can stop illegals at the border, then they can stop gays at the courthouse."
