John Minore is a founding member and legal counsel for the Yuma Patriots, a civilian border watch group seeking to enforce border law and reform immigration policy. John and the Yuma Patriots have been active in bringing attention to the problems created by freely permitting illegal immigration across the southern border in the Yuma Area.

The Patriots advocate the enforcement of existing immigration law, the creation of a guest worker program and common sense reform of immigration policies. The Patriots believe that you are either Pro-Immigration or Pro-Illegal Immigration. They are Pro-Immigration and want to see the U.S. Mexico boarder changed so that it is safe for U.S. Citizens and for Immigrants. Learn more at http://www.yumapatriots.org/about.html.
