The Rocky Mountain Minutemen are law-abiding Americans who realize the threat that illegal immigration represents to our country. Like the Minutemen of our country's founding, we have discarded our plows and are rallying to face this new challenge. This is a struggle to preserve the principles that founded this great nation. For those of us who are not on the border, it is an attempt to uphold the rule of law and to protect our communities from the influx of illegals. We are proud to defend our unique American heritage.

There have been recent demonstrations and boycotts demanding that our government grant amnesty and citizenship to illegal aliens.  We dismiss granting status to illegal aliens above and ahead of law abiding immigrants who are working within the system to gain citizenship. There are people who actually believe that we owe illegal aliens rights equal to citizens!  We feel that illegals are owed due process, punishment or deportation as prescribed by law.  Illegal aliens should be treated as lawbreakers and not be granted consideration beyond reasonable humanitarian concerns.   

Illegals enter our country at will. Terrorists and drug cartels cross our border with impunity. American citizens on the border have been killed or their property destroyed. The environments of National Parks and Preserves at the border are being damaged. It is this anarchy at our borders and the pressures on our communities that are luring Congress into granting amnesty and citizenship to illegals. We intend to use all possible lawful means to resist this blackmail.   

Some illegal immigrant activists are attempting to inject racial, linguistic and cultural differences into this debate. Many Americans are buying into this diversion. These activists worship at the altar of multiculturalism and diversity gone astray. The impression is projected that Americans are in the wrong, and that only they have the moral high ground. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are not against immigration by people from other countries, whatever their race, language, culture or ethnicity. We fear that America is evolving into a nation of two competing cultures and languages, which is a direct result of illegal immigration. Our concern is not Hispanic citizens, those with lawful visas, or documented workers. We are against illegal immigration in all forms.

We will fight this war with ideas and ideals that are superior to anything that socialists,  globalists, or multinational entities would force upon us.  They seek to plunder our nation's wealth and prosperity, and to put their own form of government ruling supreme.  America's sovereignty is an impediment to their goals.   Their agenda is not one of liberty for all. It is not based upon Christian charity. Under the guise of humanitarianism and multiculturalism, activists seek what is not theirs to give, and would redistribute it for their own purposes. These people are beyond misguided or foolish. They represent a direct threat to America. Those who would open our country to mass immigration and a borderless society are, in essence, domestic enemies of our Republic.  Instead of fighting corrupt governments from which illegal immigrants flee, they would change our country into a third world giant, incapable of providing prosperity for either citizens or the tide of illegals. America's sovereignty would be rendered a mere line on a map, devoid of history or heritage. They will fail because truth and exposure are their greatest enemies.           

Currently, the struggle in Colorado and the other interior Rocky Mountain States is one of public awareness and getting people to demand that our representatives act on our behalf, not the illegal alien's. Our goal is to develop a group of like minded individuals who will not hesitate to notify authorities if they witness illegals in our neighborhoods. We strive to build a network to work with law enforcement and our public agencies to enforce our laws. We want citizens to sound the alarm by contacting our congressman, by using the media to inform the public, and by developing strategies to offset the adverse effects illegal immigration place upon our communities. Our task is to reaffirm the rule of law as the foundation upon which our society abides.

America was not created, built or sustained by illegal immigrants. It has not been a nation of limitless flags, competing cultures, with a Babel of languages. America is a sovereign nation that was created by the blood of its patriots and the tears of its mothers.  It was built by our backs and the sweat of our brows. It should and will remain one nation, under one flag, with one language, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all........citizens and legal immigrants.
