Border Fence Scam?

Aerial photo from Border Hawk M on June 20 shows segment of Chris Simcox fence in Southeastern Arizona featuring 14-foot poles stretched out in double-fence fashion for 150 feet. Five-foot livestock fence can be seen stretched between poles. "The Minutemen also have built nearly 10 miles of border fence that's styled after Israel's Gaza Strip fence, with four layers of razor wire and fences, he said. The group has hired a contractor to help because it's having trouble recruiting volunteers during the extreme June heat." (The Daily Courier - June 19).

Despite these claims ABP has seen no change in the fence project for the past two weeks. "These poles appeared to have been used strictly for a media event," said Glenn Spencer of American Patrol. ABP used airborne GPS to measure the length of the barbed wire fence. It is 2.2 miles long.
