About two-dozen protesters gathered outside the Crown Plaza Hotel in King of Prussia. They chanted and held up signs calling the Minutmen a hate group.
John Ryan founded the Pennsylvania Minutemen chapter. He says his group welcomes immigrants, just not illegal ones. He says they drain valuable tax dollars and threaten our country's security.

Protesters here say the Minutemen are nothing more than a vigilante group who arm themselves and wander U.S. borders and they say they won't stand idly by while they organize.
