Benson, AZ (PRWEB) October 16, 2006 -– Motorcycle riders who support a tougher stance on illegal immigration are invited to participate in a free, escorted, 100-mile “Brotherhood of the Border” motorcycle run to secure the border 9 a.m., Oct. 22nd that begins at the Southern Arizona Biker Rodeo, Big Boys Arena Bar, 250 N.

The ride, sponsored by the American Freedom Riders Brotherhood of the Border, is endorsed by various congressman and anti-illegal immigration groups, as well as the Border Patrol Union Local 2544. Members of the patrol will also participate in the ride. Prior to the run, MCEE Congressional candidate Randy Graf will introduce nationally known speakers including: Jim Gilchrist - Minuteman Project Founder; T.J.
