Ninety-nine percent of immigrants who come to the United States want to come here legally, said Chris White, graduate teaching assistant for the history department, during an afternoon lecture at the Multicultural Resource Center.
The lecture was held two days after the Minuteman Project ended its month-long patrol of the Mexican border. The project was created by a group of Americans who didn't think the United States government was doing a sufficient job of patrolling the border between the U.S. and Mexico.
"I figured that the entire campaign focused on getting media attention." White said.
He said the group's goal was
to gain the public's trust by deceiving them into thinking it was a non-violent organization.
The Minuteman Project patrolled a 23-mile area of Naco, Arizona, with more than 800 volunteers. Project workers took credit for the apprehension of more than 330 Mexicans attempting to cross the border.
While the project claims a 98 percent reduction in illegal immigration in Naco, White said that the number of immigrants who crossed the border in April was close to the number last year. He said people simply went around where they were stationed.

White said groups like these validated the use of force without looking at the root of the problem. He said the problems with immigration could start to be fixed if the U.S. became honest about political vs. economic reasons for immigration, and if the government made employers more accountable for hiring illegal immigrants, rather than blaming the immigrants.
White grew up in California and knew many people who had fled their countries during many of the violent conflicts in Central America during the 80s.
"I think it's important for people to look at it through the immigrants' perspective," she said.
She said she didn't think the volunteers saw immigrants as humans.
He was also a sergeant in the United States Marine Corps and has traveled around the world.
He said one of the situations that made the immigration problem unique was that a first-world country like the U.S. was bordering with a country that was almost a third-world country. And the way to fix the problem-was not by having civilians patrol the borders, he said.

It has been proposed by the Comptroller's Office that the $2.5 million operation be split up among different printing companies, said Sayler, who is assisting in an advisory role to the committee. It isn't known yet whether splitting up the printing will create more revenue or cost more for the University, Sayler said. As for Savler, he is ready to relax.
He also plans to spend time with his elderly mother and four grandchildren.
"I have some projects at home I want to work on like my woodworking and gardening." he said.
