The Weekly Standard’s Matt Labash recently spent time with the “Minutemen” of U.S.–Mexico border fame. Here’s an snapshot:

He looks at me like I’m a dim child. “Are you kidding?” he says. “Piece of cake!” About the biggest danger they’d face, from the looks of the trails, is tripping over one of the Jansport backpacks ditched by the thousands of Mexicans who’ve gone before them.
