WASHINGTON - Foes of illegal immigration - including members of the volunteer border patrol group the Minuteman Project - rallied at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday and urged Congress to reject President Bush's proposal to allow guest workers into the country.

"We must send a message to Washington, D.C. and every person in every building here that we will not stand for . . . a fraud amnesty bill," said Steve Eichler, director of the Minuteman Project.

The Minuteman Project last year organized thousands of volunteers to patrol the U.S.-Mexico border in a bid to block people from illegally crossing into America. Its members are now lobbying Congress to crack down on illegal immigration through new legislation. snip

At the Wednesday rally, two self-proclaimed Nazis showed up in brown, swastika-adorned uniforms, passing out fliers blaming Jewish legislative leaders for liberal immigration policies and yelling, "Deport all non-whites - legal or illegal."

Gilchrest said the Nazis didn't represent his group.

Gilchrest says we ain't with those Nazis over there. We just tend to hang out at the same places.
