Thread: The money for the fence question

Why don't we all contact our Reps. and ask them to give the alloted fence money, to the Minutemen and have them build the fence???

They could probably build it cheaper and get the job done.

Every person in this country should contribute with a DOLLAR, I think it will help. What do you think?

American Border Patrol claims the Minutemen have not finished the first fence. Photos show metal fence poles, without fencing. Sticking ploes in the ground won't stop anyone.

The Minuteman site claims they are starting a second fence. I think they should finish the first one.

And everyday more Mexicans coming in. They are in a hurry to come in, so they will be here when the amnesty comes.

I'm not sure what metal poles and their spacing, you mentioned...but in the water run off areas, there are metal poles that have small spaces, the rest of the fence was solid steel, several feet in the ground.

O.K. they may build 700 miles of fence. Probably build it in 10 foot sections every 30 feet.

If anyone has pictures of the completed Minuteman fence, please post them. Forward them to the American Border Patrol website so they can update the Fence Patrol photos. The Guard on the Border and the Fence Patrol haven't shown anything new for quite a while.

Lawmakers approved $1.2 BILLION for border security, but most of that will be used for the Secure the Border Initiative. The fence will need additional funding of $2.2 BILLION. A $1 per person isn't enough. It's estimated to take six years to construct 700 miles of fence.

But even $2.2 BILLION is only a couple of minutes of time, for what it costs to fight the Iraq War.

If you really think about it, the government should not have any problem getting money for the fence. They would have the money if all illegals are deported.

We should demand a tax on all the billions being sent to Mexico. Use the tax to pay for the fence and more border patrol officers.
