Yes he said that he would not be dictated to by any governmental body as to what type of fence he would build.

Actually, I've always thought the biggest impediment to a border fence would be the endless enviro lawsuits filed against building it. You figure there has to be some kind of endangered critter along most of the route.

And that is the case whether the feds, a state or private citizens are building it. We cannot impede migrating newts (when the real issue for liberals is to not block migrating future voters).

Seems to me like there was a recent court ruling over San Diego county fence, I think, that said that border security trumped enviro concerns.

Then don't you think Simcox should have researched it a bit better before collecting money and then go oops and leave? Is he going to give the money back?
