God speed with this project. Hopefully it'll really slow down the traffic and bring out a simple fact.
AAre they going to fence the sides? At 0.9 they will just go around it.
I bet not. I think the guy is just trying to keep them away from his cattle. Hopefully they won't just cut back around onto his property.
It'll be interesting to see just how much fencing they can get put up along the border. If the gov. won't do it. I guess we'll have to.
They need a wall at the parking lot of Extended Stay America in Malvern, PA.
The illegals appear to be under the employ of Petrocelli, LLC, Verizon Contractor.
I mentioned them to cop the other guy; his reply. "They've been here a long time and keep to themselves".
Put up a wall, yes, but also go after the employers.
.9 miles, eh? That'll stop 'em, fer shure.
This is silly. What we need is for the federal government to put up a real fence...one long enough to do some good.

Absolutely! And the MCDC's fence is a demonstration designed to a.)highlight the issue of border insecurity, b.)garner news coverage to embarass the government into action, and c.)pressure the government to erect and improve border barriers along the entire border. The MCDC does not intend to erect enough border barrier to secure the entire border nor even large parts of it. It is a political project with the goal to get the Federal Government to do their job and secure the border. This is much like the original Minuteman Project who secured a tiny portion of the border with volunteers. That effective demonstration has lead to much of the border security measures we're seeing voted on or put in place today. If it wasn't for the MMP, there would not have been HR 4437 and President Bush would have sent 6,000 (this number is alleged, but its the number he's using) National Guard Troops to the border. That's the point of this and it is going to do some good.

If I was his neighbor I would want in on the project.
And as Spiff says, that's the whole point of the exercise.
"I was thing though that if they can't get across they may just go around to show they can."

I understood what you were getting at.
If successful bit by bit a border fence will be built on private land, then the pressure will mount concerning public land.
(-(-(-PING FOR REFERENCE-)-)-)
Bttt!
They should borrow a few laborers from Sheriff Joe.
This bears repeating!
There are some posters who are either too stupid to understand this, or are deliberately misconstruing the purpose of the MCDC fence project in order to lampoon it.
Devolve, you've got way too much free time on your hands. LOL
Good job!
