Absolutely correct.
When you really think about it logically, private individuals building an Israeli style fence is a crazy idea to begin with. A few miles here, and a few miles there is ridiculous on it's face.
Thanks for bringing me back around. Got a little distracted with the history of this thing brouhaha. It seemed to blow in from nowhere. Hopefully...it will blow back to where it came from.
Well I am a retired engineer with 40 years in engineering and construction and the Simcox fence a major construction effort that would cost the rancher an absolute fortune to maintain not to mention his legal liability if someone is hurt or killed trying to breach it. The only entity that can authorize that type of barrier on an international border is the United States Or Mexico. They can cry private property all they want but the border is federal land no matter whose ranch it is on.
