   Anti-immigrant groups run the political spectrum from moderate to radical hate groups.  All these organization seek to limit immigration to the United States but differ in tactics and philosophy.  Some  organizations are focused primarily on issues related to immigration in general while others are concerned about undocumented or unauthorized residents living in the U.S.
The Minuteman Project:

 The "Minuteman Project" that began patrolling the U.S. borders in 2005 in an attempt to slow illegal immigration. There are nationwide chapters. These groups also attempt to discourage the unlawful hiring of "illegal alien" "day laborers".

The two Minuteman organizations listed above split in December 2005 after disagreements about funding. As such, they both use the "Minuteman" name but otherwise have no official connection with each other.

NumbersUSA
Founded in 1997, NumbersUSA states that it is a "non-profit, non-partisan, public policy organization that favors an environmentally sustainable and economically just America." The organization "opposes efforts to use federal immigration policies to force mass U.S. population growth and to depress wages of vulnerable workers.
