Wednesday, May 10, 2006
ATLANTA — Anti-illegal immigrant protesters exchanged angry words with counter-protesters Tuesday night when members of the Minutemen Project brought their cross-country caravan to the state Capitol.
Minutemen leaders began their tour last week en route from the Los Angeles to Washington, where they plan to try to influence lawmakers to pass tougher immigration laws.
The caravan began with eight vehicles. There were 30 when it pulled into Atlanta.
A crowd of about 50 supporters, some with signs containing slogans such as "Secure our Borders," cheered when Minutemen Project founder James Gilchrist shouted out "You will not conquer the United States of America."
"You, you invaders — you illegals," Gilchrist boomed into the microphone, as a smaller group of immigrant supporters rallied across the street.
One of them, Adam Levenstein, told Atlanta's WAGA-TV that they were there "to support the little guy.".........http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,194944,00.html
