The Minutemen and the equally noxious SOS have been met with overwhelming opposition every time they try something in California. At both SOS protests in Garden Grove, anti-racist activists out-numbered them 10 to 1 and forced them to leave. Now the Minutemen are at the California/Mexico border and are being faced with well-organized opposition in large numbers. Good.
