Thanks for the Minuteman Month

Volunteers recruited over the Internet to monitor illegal immigrant activity along a stretch of Arizona's border ended their monthlong campaign this weekend as they began _ peering through binoculars along a dusty border road.

Members of the Minuteman Project hailed the program as a success, and organizers said they plan to expand the mission to the other states bordering Mexico, and parts of the Canadian border.

Thank you Minutemen for shining light on our problem. Thank you for contributing your time and efforts, for rising above the criticism and displaying your love of country. I salute you.
