Starting today, hundreds of motorcycle riders and RVs will leave Golden, Colo., on a 10-week `` 21st Century Paul Revere Ride'' that will travel to every state capital in the lower-48 states before ending in Washington on Aug. 12.

But unlike the ride by the real Paul Revere in April 1775 to warn of the approach of British troops, the new version is intended to raise awareness of what participants consider to be a new invasion: millions of immigrants, legal and illegal, that adherents say add to welfare roles, disrupt school systems and commit crimes.

`` We've got to close our borders,'' said ride coordinator Howard Wooldridge of Frederick, Md., whose brother, author and Internet broadcaster Frosty Wooldridge, originated the idea for the ride. `` We're losing manufacturing jobs all across our country. We already have all the unskilled labor we need. We don't need any more coming from other countries,'' Wooldridge said.

The ride, which will begin amid fanfare and a VIP sendoff that will include U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, is scheduled to visit Boston on Aug. 7, including stops at local historical sites where members plan to `` pay homage'' to Revere and other patriots.

Riders expect to pass through the Attleboro area en route to Providence and a culminating rally in Washington, D.C.

The Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies estimates that immigration costs local and state governments $11 billion to $22 billion per year because of the higher consumption of government services by relatively low-paid undocumented workers.
