MINUTEMEN CONTINUE
BUILDING BORDER FENCE
A Successful Start on a Security Fence
 Chris
Simcox has kept his promise and volunteers have begun building the Minuteman
Border Fence. The successful groundbreaking was held in Arizona on Memorial
Day weekend, as President Bush refused to immediately deploy National Guard
and reserve troops to secure America’s out-of-control southern border with
Mexico.
 Hundreds
of volunteers—along with Minuteman Founder Chris Simcox, Ambassador Alan
Keyes, Congressman Steve King, AZ gubernatorial candidate Don Goldwater,
WeNeedAFence.com founder Colin Hanna and AZ Congressional candidate Randy
Graf—dug holes, mixed concrete, put up fencing while opposition groups
jeered and skeptics said it could not be done.
 Now
MCDC continues with dedicated volunteers, engineers and contractors using
LEGAL crews to work with local Arizona land owners in building mile after
mile of border security fencing on private land along the border with
Mexico. The first site is 10 miles long and the first 2.5 miles of Minuteman
Border Fence already has been completed.
How can You Help?
Build the Minuteman Border Fence by
sending donations and volunteering to participate in making the US border
secure.

Sign up as a volunteer and get access to
the “Minutemen Border Cams” an active web based surveillance link on the
fencing project. The Minuteman Border Fence is placing cameras which will be
monitored via computer over the Internet by registered Minutemen across the
country, so that Minuteman volunteers can observe and report illegal
crossings from the computer in their living rooms 24/7.
The Border Fence is already making a difference.
Local reports indicate that drug and human
trafficking has already been reduced. There are fewer vehicles in the area
where the fence is under construction—proving again that having a presence
and taking positive steps to do SOMETHING to secure the border reduces the
flow of illegal aliens, potential terrorists, drug and human traffickers,
murderers, rapists and thieves in these areas.
More than 1,500 have volunteered to build the
fence.
 Planning
and organization continues as volunteers, materials and contractors are
being coordinated in an unprecedented alliance with over 1,500 Minuteman
Border Fence volunteers. In the true spirit of the Minutemen of the American
Revolution these patriots have joined together to form an army of volunteers
to secure our borders and protect America’s sovereignty, security and
prosperity.
“The undertaking is monumental and
historic” says Chris Simcox.
MCDC is beginning construction of the
Israeli-style border security fence at a second ranch location in early July
and later in the year in TX, CA and NM as more resources are marshaled. Two
fencing companies that hire legally have been retained to run the jobs sites
and coordinate volunteer construction crews as Minutemen volunteers are
scheduled to provide labor and security. Crews of four to ten volunteers
under the guidance of professional fence installers can install as much as 3
miles of fence in a week.
The reality is the Minutemen are here to
stay. In April of 2005, over 800 volunteer men and women took action to
secure the border. This year there are more than 200,000 Minutemen activists
not only guarding the border but building fence, faxing our elected
representatives, making phone calls, voting open border politicians out of
office, starting local chapters and contributing their time, money and
expertise. MCDC is an explosive grassroots effort enjoying the energetic
support of political Democrats, Republicans and Independents—all American
patriots who have earned the trust of the public by keeping our word to
remain vigilant until our borders are secure.
A Comprehensive Design
By working with and talking to the
ranchers and Border Patrol agents that live and work in this virtual war
zone we have learned that no single design or deterrent will be 100%
effective. A variety of designs and support structures are needed to meet
local security needs.
 A
physical barrier capable of stopping people and vehicles has been designed
to fit the terrain. It is also a visual deterrent that cuts illegal
crossings by 95% or more. The security fence will not be easy to compromise
by climbing over with a ladder, cannot be cut with wire cutters, breached by
ramming with a vehicle, or tunneling under undetected. No fence can be a
100% impenetrable barrier—but it is a good design and will be time-consuming
enough to get through that Border Patrol agents can be alerted and respond
before the incursion can be completed.
Our fence plan will keep costs near $150
per foot.
The fencing will be built on private land
with privately donated funds, engineering and labor. Its construction will
serve as an example to educate the public about the feasibility and efficacy
of fencing to secure America’s borders from illegal invasion by aliens and
international criminal cartels. An IRS-authorized charitable non-profit
organization is facilitating and administering donations for construction of
the fence. Monetary and in-kind contributions for this effort will go
directly into meeting hard costs such as building materials for this private
fencing operation.
We have a monumental challenge ahead to
raise $55 million. We urgently need your help for this effort to succeed.
With your help MCDC can make America more secure by continuing to urge
citizen volunteers to support the Minuteman Border Fence.
Be sure to send this to EVERYONE you know
who wants to help STOP illegal aliens at the border! Thank you!
