Some excerpts :

For example, FOX News and Lou Dobbs have had Gilchrist on as a spokeperson for Minuteman and have highlighted him as an “expert” on a variety of immigration-related topics. Here, for example, is a Lou Dobbs appearance by Gilchirist in which he is held out as an expert on undocumented immigrant demography! The appearance came soon after Gilchrist's book came out and Dobbs celebrates his friend's success saying “Jim, I want to congratulate you on your book, an important book”.

That book, Minutemen:The Battle to Secure America's Borders , was published in 2006 with a forward by Congressman Tom Tancredo.

” When the call to arms is heeded, and a little girl is murdered as collateral damage, where is Lou Dobbs to dis-endorse this “important book”?

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) put Gilchrist's opus on its short list of recomended books for movement activists.

As for FOX News, here is Gilchrist being interviewed by Neil Cavuto about hate crimes aganst the Minutemen!

And then there is the fact that three Republican presidential candidates solicited the endorsement of Jim Gilchrist with Mike Huckabee emerging with the coveted imprimatur of the Minuteman leader.

Huckabee's elation over the Minuteman's backing gained Gilchrist even more attention, this msnbc interview, for instance. And with Huckabee's fawning solicitude, Gilchrist was elevated in the national spotlight beyond the dark regions of FOX and Lou Dobbs. For example, here is the major attention given to the story by The Washington Post:

Mike Huckabee, under fire for some of his immigration stands while governor of Arkansas, picked up an endorsement in Council Bluffs, Iowa, from the ultimate illegal immigration opponent: Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minuteman Project, the group that has roamed the border for the last several years operating effectively as an independent border patrol.

President Bush called the group “vigilantes” two years ago. But Huckabee seemed eager to announce the endorsement, as it came on a day when former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney started running an ad that slams Huckabee for backing a provision that would have allowed the children of illegal immigrants to receive in-state tuition in Arkansas.

“Frankly, Jim I've got to tell you there were times in the early days of the Minutemen I thought what are these guys doing, what are they about,” Huckabee said. “I confess I owe you an apology.” He said of Gilchrist, “nobody can question his commitment to his country.”

Gilchrist, an ally of the candidate who has been most anti-illegal immigration in the GOP field, Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo, said his endorsement of Huckabee stemmed from the former governor's recent statements on the issue, particularly a plan that Huckabee put out last week that would require illegal immigrants country in the country to go to their country of origin before trying to return. The plan also would build a border fence and increase fines on employers who hire illegal immigrants, similar to proposals offered by some of Huckabee's opponents in the GOP nomination process.

“It was a plan I myself could have written,” said Gilchrist, who noted the Huckabee campaign reviewed the proposal with him before it was released.

So Gilchrist was so central to the anti-immigrant movement that eighteen months ago a major Republican presidential candidate had to pre-clear his immigration plan with Gilchrist
