Jon Dunn ReportingThe leader of the Utah Minutemen project, Alex Segura, is buying a truck today. He says he needs the four wheel drive for future trips to the border, trips that won't change even with America's National Guard keeping watch.
Alex Segura: "Actually what it will do is get us more pumped up, because we want to be part of this whole effort."
The Minutemen have been calling for the military on the border for a while; still Segura calls the president's plan a political ploy.
Alex Segura: "They're saying upwards of 10,000, but because our troops are spread so thin--particularly the National Guard--it looks to me like it will end up being a half-dozen with the money to support them."
Segura does think the Guard will help, once word makes it to those in Mexico thinking about heading north.
