That's a pretty good idea you got there Mr. McKing.
You ought to put together an email to Minutemen HQ.

It's been awfully dry in that area of late. The NWS has wildfire warnings up for that entire area. It won't take much more than a spark to get things going.

According to the Minuteman web site:
Surveillance cameras on the fencing will be monitored via computer by registered Minutemen across the country.

Amazing what private enterprise can do.
Here in NY, a a quarter mil wouldn't even pay for the engineering studies, let alone the environmental impact statements and archaeological assessments.
Here, we spend millions on public works projects and never get a shovel in the ground.

I hope they're going to put up more than barbed wire. That won't stop anybody.

Looks like what they really need is donations... $150 per foot of fence:
To: Lurker
Choices are:
- Careless Smoke tossed away.
- Vehicle parked on high grass or other such combustibles
- Illegals having a warming fire to ward off the chill last night and just walking away
ANSWER: May be released this week when the fire is under control

"As of midweek, the group had raised about $225,000 for fence materials"
I support the Minutemen and know that most of this money came in small donations from patriots, many who don't have a lot, but...
Where are the wealthy conservatives? If this was a liberal cause Soros and his ilk would have donated millions. Aren't their wealthy consrvatives anymore? Are they too afraid of offending someone? I would think that a billionaire could go down in history by dropping $10 million or more in the cause of securing our border.
Are the wealthy all one-worlders?

Ping me to it when you get an anwer will you please?
Stay safe.

"Good to hear. American individualism and independence still lives."
Yep!!!
"How long before Mexican soldiers from Grupo Beta come across at night and wreck the fence?"
Private property can be defended. And if they did that, it would rebound to our benefit anyway.

"The key is this: we need a website where thousands of volunteers would sign up to monitor the cameras. When someone sees movement, they just click a mouse button. Of course a second (and perhaps third) confirmation would be needed- and after that, the location automatically gets reported to local police or border patrol."
Good idea. To add on a bit---there is now some prety good software that can do the "1st cut" monitoring. The software could flag "suspicious" situations. The humans could weed out the false positives. Many less humans needed.

Did they "consult" with the Mexican government first?
To: faq
Now if we were in DC, this would be an embarrassment....most of the current crowd won't get it.
Bless the volunteers for this project.
