The Utah Minuteman Project is a grassroots effort to motivate Utahns to the defense
of their homeland; similar to the way the original Minutemen from Massachusetts and other U.S. colonies did in the late 1700's.
Like immigration reform movements across the United States, were moving forward to secure our homeland, borders and
ports from illegal alien entrants, move towards re-establishing the rule of law within our state government, repeal state
laws that encourage illegal immigration and violations of federal law, convince law enforcement to hold employers accountable
for illegal hiring practices and return to inland enforcement of state and federal immigration laws currently on the books. *"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here
in good faith, becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else
for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated
upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance
here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one
flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language and we have room for but
one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."* *Theodore Roosevelt, 1919*

Published: June 26, 2008 Most Utahns stand behind get-tough immigration bill
A new poll suggests
that three in four Utahns want the state Legislature to keep in place a new get-tough immigration measure — and just
over half want to make the law even tougher.
A legislative panel is evaluating SB81, a new law aimed at preventing
undocumented immigrants from getting jobs or public benefits, which is set to take effect in July 2009.
Some 55
percent of 405 registered voters in the Deseret News/KSL-TV poll said lawmakers should keep that law and look into further
action. Another 19 percent said the new law should remain intact but tougher laws aren't needed.
Only 19
percent said the state should repeal SB81 because immigration reform is a federal responsibility. The results were from a
statewide poll conducted June 16-19 by Dan Jones & Associates. The poll had an error margin of 5 percent.
The
results come as advocates for get-tough immigration reform have lost two key advocates at the state level. The sponsor of
SB81, Sen. Bill Hickman, R-St. George, isn't running for re-election. And Rep. Glenn Donnelson, R-North Ogden, known for
sponsoring get-tough measures in the House, including attempts at repealing in-state tuition for undocumented college students,
lost his bid to keep his seat in Tuesday's primary.
There seems to be general agreement that Donnelson's
lost seat had more to do with a general mood for change, tied to national presidential politics, than to immigration.
