Morning Roundup: The Minutemen Diversify Edition

Morning Roundup: The Minutemen Diversify Edition: "Signaling an additional layer of complication to the already complicated and fractured immigration debate, the Washington Times is reporting today that some African Americans are joining together with the Minuteman vigilante groups that have been hounding illegal immigrants along the border and in day laborer centers, most locally in Herndon, Virginia.
