Minuteman group having political implosion

The Minuteman Project- a group that patrolling the U.S.-Mexico border for illegal immigrants, has been called a citizens militia by some and “vigilantes” by others- including President Bush. The Los Angeles times reports that the group’s board is trying to fire project co-founder Jim Gilchrist:

The story behind the vote to dismiss America’s most famous anti-illegal immigrant fighter contains allegations of hubris and missing money, jealousy and greed, backstabbing and extremism… There were public accusations of secret bank accounts, missing funds, sloppy accounting and donations that had been collected without the full board’s knowledge.
