Private Fence Goes Up Along Border

J.J. Jackson* | May 29, 2006

After years of federal and state government not doing a much of anything about illegal aliens crossing into the United States from Mexico, the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps with the help of private funding has begun construction of a fence.

PALOMINAS, Arizona ? Minuteman border watch volunteers began putting up new fencing Saturday on a cattle ranch along the southeastern Arizona border with Mexico, intent on building impediments to a flood of illegal immigration until the federal government takes up the task.

Ranchers Jack and John Ladd were hopeful, though hardly confident, that the fencing will spell some relief on their father-and-son spread from the illegal immigrants, drug runners and cattle meandering across from Mexico.

The Ladds’ ranch stretches across more than 10 miles (16 kilometers) of the border with Mexico and they have struggled for years with those cut their fence ? or just drive over it ? to cross their land and enter the United States.

“We’ve been fighting this thing for 10 years with the fence, and nobody will do anything,” said son Jack Ladd. - Fox News

While a fence will not solve of of the nation’s illegal immigration problems it is part of a solution which must also include actual punishment for illegals that are caught (i.e. no more catch and release) and cracking down on employers who hire illegal aliens.

Some have said that cracking down on employers is not a solution. And many employers of illegals have whined about such proposals. However the truth is that knowingly hiring an illegal alien is aiding and abetting a criminal which is illegal. So you’re going to have to deal with it.
