"I've seen what they've done so far...it's heavy on symbolism, anyway.
However, it might discourage a blind cow of any thoughts of encroachment, and that ain't bad."
Assuming you have a soupcon of an alternative plan, what is it?
One doesn't need to have a good idea to know what a bad idea looks like.
At the very least, I wouldn't have invited the media to witness the running of a fence that you can just step over.

You've seen what the Israeli's have built/are completing. The rate of Pali raids and murders of Israeli's is down by what, perhaps 97%, maybe more.
FENCES DO WORK! Maybe the Minutemen don't have a perfect fence design, but I'll bet the Minutemen fence will discourage illegal immigration by at least 80%. I'll take that for now. The cost will be easily washed out within one year in reduced school, healthcare, welfare and other social costs that you and I pay thru our taxes, each and every day.
Build the fence and patrol it. Once it's built, our expenses decrease immediately. Don't build it and our expenses NEVER decrease.
