Congress Ignores
Armed Mexican Invasion

Help Build the Minuteman Border Fence
ALERT: First we had an incursion into U.S. territory two weeks ago by Mexican gunmen, which we learned was NOT a “chance confrontation” between the Arizona National Guard and untrained illegal immigrants, but a deliberate “perimeter probe” by an infantry-trained, uniformed Mexican force, carried out by a unit of Mexican troops dressed in military uniforms, flak jackets, and armed with AK-47s.

Now the press is starting to report what we warned you about: the new Democrat-led Congress is ready to refuse to fund the border fence Congress voted to build -- and President Bush signed into law -- last year!

According to a report in Congressional Quarterly this week:

House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer, D-Md., said the House will reconsider a plan to build a fence along the southwestern border between Mexico and the United States.

"I think the fence will be revisited," Hoyer told reporters today. "Appropriators will look at whether or not this is an expenditure that continues to make sense to them or whether there are other ways" to address the problem of illegal immigration.

Hoyer echoed the sentiments of Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., who said last week that he wanted to delay construction of the fence until Congress passes a broad border security plan.

You read that right: Just like we said would happen, the new Congress is ignoring an armed invasion and is preparing to reverse course on building a border fence!

SOMEONE needs to do something -- and now, someone IS: the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps is building a REAL border fence along the U.S.-Mexico border!

The Minuteman Border Fence is an extension of the citizens' border security group Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. It was created to put steel in the ground and to demonstrate the feasibility of securing the border by building fencing as a part of the Minuteman Movement, the grassroots initiative that seeks to secure America's sovereign territory against incursion, invasion, and terrorism.

As we can see AGAIN from the latest reports from Arizona and Capitol Hill, the United States is under siege by forces and interests that have the capacity, over time, to destroy our great experiment of responsible self-government -- and the U.S. Government is deliberately closing its eyes to this great danger.

Members of the MCDC are organizing as citizen volunteers, to safeguard our beloved nation from violence, from sedition, from wholesale attack by those who do not love America and wish to see her destroyed or irremediably altered from a nation of liberty, equality, and justice, and a bastion of western civilization. The Minutemen are recruiting and training volunteer citizens who will stand as patriots for the promise that is, and ever has been, America -- to build a border fence.

If you are concerned about the chaos upon our broken borders, if you believe America should welcome legal immigration but reject colonization and Balkanization, then we need to join together to help the Minutemen secure the future of our nation for the American people and her posterity.

And a GREAT start is to build a REAL border fence along the Mexican border… to help STOP the armed “incursions” like the latest one in Arizona, and help FORCE our feckless federal government to recognize the need to protect American citizens and territory!

The new Congress will likely succeed at undoing federal law passed to build 700 miles of fence, leaving the Minuteman Border Fence the only real barrier being built. It is therefore imperative that the people of the United States support and build the Minuteman Border Fence themselves -- until this government gets the message and is forced to do its job and fully and competently secure our national border.

As Congressman Tom Tancredo said, "The thing that's in the greatest jeopardy right now is the fence, because they do have the appropriations process and that's probably the one they can stop."

Your help is needed now more than ever. We are asking everyone who has already donated to the fence, to DOUBLE that donation now at the beginning of the New Year, to help us keep putting up fencing. We need your continued financial support today!

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!! By donating time and money you can help protect your families and loved ones. Please make a donation TODAY and you can help build a secure border and a secure America.

NOTE: Here’s the latest report on the Minuteman Border Fence, from a volunteer leader on site:

We have built over two miles of fence and have a good crew going this week. Also we are providing security for both fence lines. We have one wash that will require a double fence, one on top of the other in order to cross on land on each side. The weather has been harsh; we arose to 11.4 degrees yesterday morning. By the time we were in the field it was around 20 degrees. We completed 3/8ths of a mile even with the cold temps.

The activity on the south side of the International Fence picked up yesterday. We again saw Mexican military; we also saw a drop off of six young men with large backpacks. They hid in a ravine in Mexico and did not cross while we were there. It is a bit frustrating to know what is going to happen and have no control on it. Many loads of illegals were run to the San Pedro River yesterday while we built fence. We only saw two border patrol agents the entire day. I suspect the holiday had something to do with it. They both were traveling alongside of the vans with the possible illegal aliens.

There has been a ton of noise coming from Mexico regarding the shooting at Paul Spur last week. The Mexican Foreign Relations Secretariat condemned the shooting as an act of "disproportionate violence". The only part of this that is disproportionate is seven illegal aliens pitching rocks at one border patrol agent. We need to speak out and protect our agents from the long arm of the politically correct government we are subject to at the moment. We need to let them know the American people will not let them down. The morale with the Border Patrol has to be at its worst. How can they do their job with one hand tied behind their back?

For those of you who live here in Arizona we have two years of Gabrielle Gifford to put up with. She has spent about three weeks in Washington and has already returned to let us know that she is going for amnesty. She states that is what the Congress wants. She has already forgotten what the people of Arizona want. We passed several resolutions directly related to tighter border security. She has a mandate from the people of Arizona to close the border, but she knows better after spending some time with her fellow congressmen. Remember she is a card carrying ACLU board member.

This week we have volunteers from New Mexico, Arizona, South Dakota, New York, Wisconsin, Idaho, California and Colorado. Some plan to return and help us finish. They are the salt of the earth and great patriots and I am thankful I have the opportunity to meet them.

We need to take action NOW. Be sure to send this Alert to EVERYONE you know who wants to help join with us to build the fence -- a REAL fence, not a political smoke screen -- TODAY! Thank you for helping secure America!

How strong is that mess-looking part of the fence? Isn't that easy to cut through?

Even if it is easy to cut through, they will still have to stop and take the time to cut it, allowing our BPs time to get to them.
