Thread: Citizen Fence Project?

That's true, Butterbean. I believe a LOT of people would contribute to a fence-building project if it was being organized by a group like the MinuteMen.

The fence would look like this

The group building the fence

they can only build the fence on private property. Unfornately, the states and federal goverment bought most of the lands at the border so the illlegals could dump their trash and not get fined for littering.

I started a new topic for donations to the Minuteman Fence project but here is the link:

The comments on MinutemanHQ are hilarious.

Minutemen plan to build 300-mile fence along US/Mexico border

Members of the Minuteman Project say if the government won’t build a fence on the border, they will.

Minuteman president Chris Simcox says they’re in the planning stages of constructing a border fence.

“It’s a double-layered fence with a road in between, with also a trench that will be dug facing the Mexican border so that vehicles cannot drive across and drive through the fence.”

Six private property owners living along the border are allowing the Minutemen to construct the barrier on their property.

Two construction companies are also donating the use of construction equipment and coordinating volunteer construction crews.

The fence will cost between ten and twelve million dollars to complete.

“If a million people send $10 each, that’s enough to build about 300 miles of fencing under the plan that we’ve devised,” Simcox says.

He says this is only the beginning.

“When we finish building fences on private property, if necessary, we’ll begin building it on government and state land,” Simcox says.

Cochise County ranchers like Roger Barnett are supporting the minutemen.

Barnett says, “I think it’s a great idea. Our government has been sitting back and doing nothing.”

Simcox would not identify the ranchers involved in the border fence project. He says they live in Cochise County and Yuma.

The Minutemen plan to break ground on the border fence over Memorial Day weekend.

Eagle Eye you confuse me. How is your site related to the MM's fence project again?

That was the site that I heard them give on TV the other night to contribute to the fence project so that's where I went and contributed. I did read the whole page and it did say it was for the MinuteMan fence project. It's not MY site.
