The Waterkooler

Chris Simcox, co-founder of the Minutmen Project, will give testimony to Congress next week, but Homeland Security does not want to talk to him in his own state of Arizona during a press conference on the need for more bordor patrol there.

"[Homeland Security] pulled 50 agents off the line to provide security. While they blocked me, there is no doubt that at the same time, hundreds of illegal aliens had no difficulty gaining access to the United States."

Simcox is considering seeking advice from an attorney and even the American Civil Liberties Union because he believes his First Amendment rights as a member of the press were denied.

Simcox said he believes Nicley refused him admittance because of his connection with the Minuteman Project, which involved volunteers watching the border in Cochise County throughout April. Simcox was a co-organizer of the event with Californian Jim Gilchrist.
