Great Idea Bumparooni ...

[Dane]

Why don't they just build the Berlin Wall while they're at it?

Hey they can have a "private" draft and have their own militia "supervising" the building ala the building the of the Berlin wall.

The Minute Men of 1775 protected America from foreign invaders (British) and a hostile, unjust government (the English Crown). Their counterparts of 2006 protect America from foreign invaders (illegal aliens) and a hostile, unjust government (the Federal and state governments). Losing this country to an influx of illegals in the 21st Century is as much a threat as its loss to British bureaucrats and soldiers was in the 18th Century. God bless the Minute Men.

Your comparison of a border wall to the Berlin Wall is ill conceived. The Communists built the wall to keep its enslaved subjects from escaping to freedom. This wall, if built, will protect free men from losing their freedom to hordes of Third Worlders. You might as well analogize the slave ships that brought Africans against their will to this country to the vessels that brought people seeking freedom and opportunity to our shores.

KELO anyone???????????????

[Cyclops08]

Amen. I will be proud to donate a foot of fence!
Maybe to sell this idea, we could have our names on every foot donated!

I would also be proud to have an illegal (thwarted in his attempt at crossing) to read (in spanish) "This section of fence donated by...ME!"

LOL! That'd be kewl.

[plain talk]

Well, you'll need a lot of donors.

2000 miles X 5280 ft/mile x $150 = $1.584B

[BubbaBobTX]

I just sent my donation for 2 feet of fence.

[geezerwheezer]

Oh hell yes!!!! Great idea, wish I had thought of it first!

[no dems]

"They should create a "wall fund" I'd donate right away."

Oh, I'm sure they will be doing just that in the very near future. But, heck, I'll donate.

[american spirit]

Perhaps you'd feel a little differently if it was your property being trampled on, your house broken in to, equipment stolen, piles of dirty diapers and discarded plastic containers and clothes, etc. What would be your solution......standing at the border handing out maps and travel $?

[GAB-1955]

Yes, but the Berlin Wall worked...no one ran to West Berlin through the Wall. So would a border wall work. It would mean people who wanted to come to America would have to come legally.

[LexBaird]

Of course you will be using union labor and union rules, following every OSHA regulation, etc.etc., I presume.

I presume that volunteers working for free on private land would not be subject to the usual union thuggery and mordita.That the government chooses to knuckle under to such is a whole other ball of stupidity.

[TheDon]

Once again, the Minutemen are leading the way to the protection of our private property and national sovereignty!

[normy]

The border is not all private property. The fence will create bottlenecks to make it easier on the Border Patrol. Combine this with State Governors and Legislatures passing laws prohibiting illegals from receiving government subsidies and cracking down on companies that hire illegals and much progress will be made that the Feds do not want made. Truth is that a fence can be built by border states if the right government is elected and funded by bonds leaving only federal land where access is easy.

If these measures are taken those who wish to work in America will have a couple options.

1. Sneak in illegally through narrow federal land bottlenecks and move to liberal havens such as Massachusetts or Vermont where the laws are favorable to them.

2.Go through the proper channels to receive green cards, become accounted for and either leave when the card expires or request a path to citizenship.

This will cause Mexican immigrants to view those who do sneak in as cheaters and the stake the new citizens or even those with workers permits will have in keeping illegals out will be the same as ours.

[unixfox]

Just wait till the EPA hears about this and declares the property "protected".

[Redleg Duke]

Threatening your good deal with the illegals, eh?

BTTT

[LexBaird]

The so called "Minute Men" have become an embarrassment to America and a disgrace to the name they have stolen.

Hey, they are just doing the job that a certain 535+1 Americans won't. That should justify whatever they choose to do, right?
