Minutemen may build their own border fence if Bush doesn't

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- If the government doesn't build security fencing along the Mexico border, Minuteman border watch leader Chris Simcox says he and his supporters will.

Simcox, whose civilian watch group opposes illegal immigration, said Wednesday he was sending an ultimatum to President Bush to deploy military reserves to the Arizona border by May 25 or his supporters will break ground for their own building project.

"We're going to show the federal government how easy it is to build these security fences, how inexpensively they can be built when built by private people and free enterprise," Simcox said.

[...]

Simcox said a half-dozen landowners along the Arizona-Mexico border have said they will allow fencing to be placed on their borderlands, and others in California, Texas and New Mexico have agreed to do so as well.

Surveyors and contractors have offered to help with the design and survey work, and Simcox said some have said they will provide heavy equipment for his Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. to build fencing.

Private property owners are giving them permission to build. What is the problem?

There's little doubt in my mind that there is enough volunteer power available to build these fences at little or no cost to Uncle Sam. And yet, they won't be built. We'll end up footing the bill to tear them back down...

I kind of like the idea of them throwing all their life savings away.

AND....they'll be better constructed than a government constructed fence would be...

But they are private property! How will you and I carry the burden of having to remove them?

Every time I see a rally of thousands of people in the Middle East burning American flags and pictures of George W. Bush, I ask myself, "Don't these people have jobs?"

And then I realize...that's the whole problem.

Remember Kelo? Private property doesn't mean much anymore.

"So they want to force all the illegal immigrants back over the border to Mexico and then build a big fence behind them. But then... who's going to build the fence?"

Be creative, will ya? Your government is.

I'd say, let's give it a try. If they're so sure that they're the only one's willing to build something in this country, they should be quite confident in leaving. You think the illegals would take that chance? I sure don't.

And I'm sure it just warms your heart to throw away City, State, and Federal tax dollars $$$ that gets pissed down the drain to medicate, educate, and incarcerate the never ending stream of illegals.
