 Arizona Taking Donations to Pay for Border FencingPosted on Jul 20, 2011
An Arizona law allowing the state to build its own security fence along the border with Mexico went into effect Wednesday, and the private donations necessary to fund the project have begun stacking up. A website for the cause went live at midnight and has already collected more than $10,000 of the $50 million needed to fund the fence. The project is not supported by the federal government, which earlier this month announced the Southwest border to be secure, and the number of illegal immigrants “substantially” down in recent years. Instead, Arizona will rely on private donations, the willingness of public and private landowners to build on their land, and cheap convict labor. —BF

Maybe if Mr.McCain could show that the fence was part of the job stimulus program he could get the fundage from the feds.On the other hand if they used cheap illegal immigrant labour,I’m sure they could bring the cost down substantially.We live in strange times.

If a poor American wants to send their kids to a school in a rich district, good
luck. They will check your driver’s license, utility bills, and possibly even hire
private investigators to make sure this doesn’t happen.
If poor Americans who only want a better life try and move onto the grounds of
some rich person’s mansion or private country club, good luck.
But when poor Mexicans move into middle- and lower-class American suburbs,
why we can’t stop this that would be fascism!
Let the rich practice what they preach: let them give away all of their wealth to
provide for a steady stream of third-world refugees. I’m not holding my
breath.
The rich want illegal immigration to lower the price of labor and increase their

Even if this turns out to be illegal, I say: let them build it. In fact, let them COMPLETELY wall off Arizona so they don’t spread their extremist poison to the rest of us. LOL.
