Border Fence - Cheaper and Quicker

posted in Immigration |

The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps is building a fence in Arizona, without waiting on the US government or asking permission from Mexico. They're also doing it for a third of the Senate's estimated cost.

The MCDC hopes to keep construction costs under $150 per foot, while the Senate's proposed 370-mile fence, at an estimated cost of $1 billion, would be over $500 per foot, by my calculations. Of course, the MCDC will be using a lot of donated equipment and labor, but I still think private industry can do most things more efficiently than the government.

Michelle Malkin has the story here.

A border fence will be cheaper, quicker and useless. I am a 7th generation native Texan. This is MY home. Don't NOBODY try and fence me in. That's right. IN. Now, if you want to put a fence up along the Northern border of the Republic of Texas I will be more than happy to be out there with the posthole digger and will man the fence as guard for free!!!! I would rather live with my hard working wetback, beer drinking buddies than live under those socialist nanny types swarming into my home from the north. While we are at it, can we build a fence AROUND Austin?
