Wake Up America
Leonard Abbott
A Maryland organization that runs four government-funded day-labor
hiring centers is training volunteer "legal observers" to videotape
members of the Minuteman border security group and to picket their
homes, places of work and their children's schools.
"We are going to target them in a specific way," Gustavo Torres,
executive director of Casa de Maryland told the Maryland Gazette,
speaking of the Minutemen volunteers who have set up a surveillance site
across the street to discreetly photograph contractors who pick up day
laborers at the center.
Going out with their own cameras will only be the first step his group
takes.
"Then we are going to picket their houses, and the schools of their
kids, and go to their work," Torres said. "If they are going to do this
to us, we are going to respond in the same way, to let people know their
neighbors are extremists, that they are anti-immigrant. They are going
to hear from us."
