Americans are donating thousands of dollars to support Minutemen patrolling the border. But you may be surprised where your money is NOT going in this 4-month investigation.

i have no idea about any of that. i was making a joke.

[CWOJackson]

"That's quite a fence."

Easily cost a grand a foot.

[deport]

So that is what an "Israeli" style fence looks like.

If it's for Israeli ducks..... other wise may not even hold a good range cow in Texas.
Now if'n they build this one it may work for a few days.

"Egocentric self-involvement only goes so far in entertainment value."

I thought the great national referendum on immigration in Utah was very funny.

[FreeReign]

A little fence building...... Reckon it will hold and ducks?

Reminds me of the fence picture Travis used to post.

Apparently that whole 'wait for some real evidence and not some reporters assertions' thingy has gone out the window around here of late.

Who knows, maybe this reporter went to the Dan Rather school of journalism.

But here comes the FR Amnesty Lobby cheering for blood without a whiff of evidence of criminality. For all we know Mary Mapes was the producer of this segment, but here's a bunch of folks on this forum swallowing it hook, line, and sinker.

Hey maybe they'll blow up some pick up trucks next week and claim they have defective gas tanks or find some old documents regarging the Presidents National Guard service record, or claim to have the inside scoop on Karl Rove being indicted.

Yep, that good old mainstream media has it right this time, no doubt about that. Yup, that's the ticket.

Hiking your skirt to pee on a thread again, huh momma flaglady?

Where has all the money gone?

[Texasforever]

LOL

[Howlin]

Then why the heck is this just now being obsessed about here?

We questioned this guy months ago and were hooted down by some posters.

You really should do some research on this guy.

[onyx]

I'll bet Simcox's boots cost more than a foot of that fence.

[deport]

That was on May 27; it ought to be fully operational at this point, right? ;-)

---

Yep.... and at least a goodly number of illegals have been made to walk around the end of it since they didn't bring their wire cutters.... However just give the rancher's cows a few days and they'll have it down in a place or two.

The idea is good but needs refining.

"I thought the great national referendum on immigration in Utah was very funny."

Yeah, as funny as Bilbray winning.

Fine then .. prove this reporter wrong

[Howlin]

I was under the impression he was their leader of sorts.

I could be wrong about this, but I am/was under the impression that this group was started by somebody else, but that Simcox has "taken over" the role as their spokesperson.

[Anti-Bubba182]

That is just it, Many were not happy with Simcox. Google "The little prince" Simcox

and you can see examples.

The people in the report were in the MMP and spoke on how promises of how the money would be used were not kept. These are definitely supporters of border control and are not "bushbots" or any open border supporter.

[CWOJackson]

I wondered why there hasn't been any "fence" threads in so long. Other then Keyes going down there to demonstrate the wisdom of wearing a black felt hat in the dessert they've been pretty much silent.

Before they were almost as prolific in their announcements as Toothless Tom Terrific.

"Hiking your skirt to pee on a thread again, huh momma flaglady?"

I love it when you go high class.

"I thought the great national referendum on immigration in Utah was very funny."

I found the pro-illegal mayor and her cohorts in the Herndon, Virginia city council getting thrown out pretty funny myself.

[Howlin]

This little tribe of Bots are a pain in the patooey.

Ah, but it gives you the chance to come on these threads and pontificate as usual, doesn't it?

Egocentric self-involvement only goes so far in entertainment value.

I suppose that explains your "appearance" here, huh?

[flaglady47]

"Fine then .. prove this reporter wrong"

Prove the reporter right.
