Why not offer sponsors space on the fence near the top on both sides to advertise, just like NASCAR does all over the cars.

"If each donor buys a foot of wall, that will require 5.2 million US citizens to donate $150 each. Probably feasible, but it's gonna take a lot of work."

You forgot to deduct the $57.8 million we contribute annually to Mexico for border security. http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/news/articles/1229mexicoaid.html

No actually the Minutemen are actually doing something.

The only people who are an embarassment to the country are the Illegal Alien lovers and our Elected Representatives.

THEY are the Embarassment.

"The racists and bigots who have stolen the name of the Minute Men are only an example of racism and bigotry. That is something for all Americans to be ashamed of."

Oh good here comes the Race card.

Go back to DU land.

""You seriously need to pull your head out of your a$$. You have come to this forum and accused us of being racists and bigots for wanting to protect OUR country. I am a native New Mexican, born and raised in Bernalillo. My family has been there since the 1600's. My last name is Castillo, so your bullshiite race card will not work on me. I have stepped up to the plate, and have protected this country for the last 22 years. I enlisted in the Marine Corps after high school, giving up a track scholarship to New Mexico Highlands. ILLEGAL AILIENS have no right to be here, and you can kiss my a$$!! ""

Your post to LPM is, by far, the best of the day. Semper Fi.

"We welcome all except racists and bigots."

You're a liar because your very tone is both Racist and Bigotted.

The Minutemen were here in October, and I did not see one single Minuteman drinking alcohol at any time. Much to the disapointment of our local tavern owner, who made the statement he did not make a dime off of them while they were here.

Several of them were camped in our horse pasture and I usually saw them during their down time. They were, each and every one that I saw or met, a great group of people. I have no idea where you get the idea they would use donations to buy beer, but you couldn't be further from the truth. They are just good decent hard working people who truly want to make a difference.

Not that there is anything wrong with drinking beer, just that from my experience if a Minuteman did choose to drink beer- they would pay for it with their own money.

While we are on the subject of Minutemen and money, though they receive many donations, I can tell you they all spend a lot of their own money defending the border. They add personal money at every turn to make sure they can get things done that need to be done.

Your link didn't work, for me anyway. Reposting the link.

Minuteman Border Fence

Here is another pro-fence website I know of.

Sorry, I stand corrected. 1.58 Billion. Don't know where my brain was on that one.

"General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall! "

Guess I am not sure if I would want my legacy to go down as the president who built the wall.

IMHO, how can we forget what symbolism "a wall" portrays.

When I look at the Statue Of Liberty, I have to wonder what our forefathers would have thought if they had to enter the U.S. through a wall.

I can't believe we stand for freedom and allow this to happen :-(

Start with a 6-foot deep trench so a vehicle can't crash through; behind it, roll of concertina (coiled, razor-edged barbed wire), in front of a 15-foot high heavy-gauge steel mesh fence angled outward at the top.

Behind the fence will be a 60- to 70-foot wide unpaved but graded dirt road, along with inexpensive, mounted video cameras that can be monitored from home computers. On the other side of the road will be a second, 15-foot fence, with more concertina wire on its outside.

Sounds great except one thing... What about the tunnelers? Another idea I saw a while back had concrete (I think) sunk way down into the ground to prevent tunnelers from getting in. Add that and I think we have a great plan.

That wall was to keep legal citizens IN, the wall being discussed now is to keep illegal aliens OUT. I think that's a very big difference.

And welcome to FR.

"this year our donations go to the fence fund rather than their campaign funds."

Bump for a good patriotic plan. (Ignore the mexico-merger trolls. Full speed ahead!)
