Border Fence Scam?
Simcox Fence Project Raises Doubts

project as promoted by Chris
Simcox. At right, actual fence as built. |
| American
Patrol - Thousands of Americans have
donated hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars, to
build a fence on the border to stop illegal aliens. One man mortgaged
his home and donated $120,000 that otherwise would have gone
to Disabled American Veterans. Chris
Simcox continues to sell the plan as an Israeli- style fence
when in fact the only thing built is a five- strand barbed wire
livestock fence that a
rancher says won't keep illegals out. "I have warned
from the beginning not to donate money to any such effort until
the promoters produce a building permit that includes the specifications
as being sold by those promoters," said Glenn Spencer of
American Patrol. Spencer has property on the border in Arizona. |
