Bilingual blogger Gringo Unleashed has helpfully translated a number of Spanish language media (SLM) articles on the Minutemen project.

As you might have expected, the articles are generally negative and misleading. As you might not have expected, they are no more negative or misleading than many of the articles run over the past few weeks in the English-language press. Indeed, one of the Gringo's articles -- this one, on the MP's Latino volunteers -- is almost sympathetic.

But more typical in tone is an article for Al Día, which notes:

"By Tuesday, no more than two or three volunteers could be seen in each of the watch points set up by the Minutemen. Deacon said that the apparent decrease is due to the vigilantes dividing into shifts."

"Dividing into shifts", eh? Now that's an unruly mob of "vigilantes" if I've seen one!
