NACO, Ariz., April 4, 2005 — Ivan Dummick and his brother-in-law, Scott Inbody, leaned back in their lawn chairs and trained their binoculars on the Mexican border only a hundred feet away. ''My brother-in-law calls me and he says, 'Hey, you want to go to Arizona and have an adventure?' So I said, sure, let's go,'' Dummick said. The two men — along with nearly 400 other civilians — call themselves ''Minutemen.'' The group is composed of mostly retired men who have formed an all-volunteer civilian border patrol. For the next 30 days, they will rotate shifts around the clock to keep an eye on the Arizona-Mexico border. They're looking for illegal immigrants and smugglers who cross through a porous stretch of sun-baked desert in southeast Arizona. ''I think it's a very high priority after 9/11,'' Inbody said.
