Well, let's see what we have here, EV. We've got a pile of articles linked at this point, and so far this is my summary:
1. Simcox says he's collecting money to build an Israeli style fence.
2. The landowner where the first section of fence was to go now says he will not accept an Israeli-style fence; all he wants is a cattle fence.
3. Simcox et.al. say that's okay, because they have another site to build the Israeli-style fence, and construction should begin between mid-June and the first week of July, depending on which article you believe.
4. So far the only thing we've seen pictures of are a barbed-wired cattle fence and a bunch of long poles stuck in the ground, even though construction should have begun 1-3 weeks ago.
5. There seems to be some confusion about the tax-exempt status of the organization and the donations.
6. According to EV, anyone who has concerns about any of the above is an "open border lover" who agrees with the policies of several liberal organizations and cannot possibly be a true conservative.
7. EV has offered no evidence whatsoever that Simcox is actually doing what he promised to do or will do what he has promised to do.
So far I've seen nothing to convince me I shouldn't believe the press reports, but if you'd like to try to add some evidence in favor of Simcox, I'd be glad to consider it.
We need some recent pictures of the 'fence'.. Layout was to be completed by the end of June, and the major building to begin by July 15th, which is Saturday.
That is what the recent update states here:

...along with needing that $55 million from donors.
