Fear of a civilian patrol group is prompting fewer contractors to pick up workers from Houston corners where day laborers congregate, some activists said.

Workers' fear over the Minuteman volunteers probably led to some day laborers also abandoning their usual corners. And the same concerns caused a day labor organizational meeting Saturday to be closed to the media, according to organizers.

Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union on Saturday began training volunteers in El Paso who plan to monitor the Minuteman volunteers during their planned patrols along the border in October.

The Minuteman Civil Defense Corp. said it plans to patrol Texas' border with Mexico in October, repeating an action it took along Arizona's border in April. The group, which seeks to reduce illegal immigration, also has said it will watch day laborers in Houston and write down the license plate numbers of contractors who pick them up.

In Houston, Maria Jimenez, a leader of the Coalition Against Intolerance and for Respect, said the laborers are very scared.

But some immigrant advocates concede that the Minutemen might be encouraged to hear they're already having an effect.

Can anyone doubt that the ACLU is the most anti-Americans activist group in the Nation? Illegal aliens are lawbreakers. If they don't respect our imigration laws and get away with it, how can you expect them to respect any of our other laws. They routinely drive without licenses or insurance. Wherever they live, the property values decrease, violent crime increases, and they drive our medical and educational costs up. They will eventually destroy our nation unless we do something about the problem.
