Jim Gilchrist

Jim Gilchrist founded the volunteer Minuteman Project in
2004, after years of trying to get a reluctant U.S.
government to simply enforce existing immigration laws. He
is a Marine Corps veteran and legitimate recipient of the
Purple Heart for wounds sustained while serving with an
infantry unit in Vietnam during 1968-1969.

A former reporter and CPA, Jim is a passionate defender of
the First Amendment and an avid supporter of law enforcement
organizations. He’s appeared on over 500 radio and TV news
shows in the past two years. He and his wife live in
Southern California - Ground Zero in the battle to secure
America’s borders.
