Building Fences

If you search the web for “border fence”, you will find millions of related stories. There are blogs on both sides of the issue. Not surprisingly, most of the blogs that are for building a fence are in the majority. Those that are against a fence use phrases like “mean-spirited” and “contrary to American ideals”. With all due respect, those blog sites are full of s**t - and they know it. It’s not about “immigration” people! It’s about “the law”.

The whining Liberals and the Angry Left have never understood that you abide by the law or you seek to change it. I’m reminded of the 2000 election when the “Gore Goons” fought to force Katherine Harris to disregard Florida’s law regarding vote count submissions and deadlines for same. Or perhaps, Mayor Gavin Newsom in San Francisco who decided to over-rule California law (passed by a majority of voters in a referendum) by performing homosexual marriages. If Liberals don’t like a law you can almost count on them to break it at the earliest opportunity.

I hate to break the news to them but that’s just not the way it’s done. If a law is bad, you abide by it and you fight to have it changed. It worked against the “Jim Crow” laws during the 1950’s and 1960’s. In fact, it usually works all the time. It’s called ”DEMOCRACY”. Simply breaking a law because you disagree with it is called ”ANARCHY” and most commonly known as ”CRIME”. Got that?

No one doubts for an instant that our immigration laws are outdated and broken. In fact, Congress (def: the opposite of “progress") is working on modernizing our immigration rules even as we speak. Whether or not those pork-loving meatheads in DC can accomplish change is up to us. We have to keep putting pressure on the distinguished dipshits representing us or else they’ll forget about it in lieu of passing legislation to appropriate more money for further studies of frog sex. That means Liberals and Conservatives alike have to keep pounding on Congress’s e-mail and snail-mail boxes.

Another method is to literally shame our government into getting up off its lazy butt and doing something. That is all the Minutemen are doing. Private citizens building small sections of fence is merely a token gesture but a strong one. They are saying to government that “if you won’t do it, we will”. They are not shooting anyone or using violence against any poor Mexican plodding across the desert to find a job cutting Barbara Streisand’s lawn for $3 per hour. We would gladly welcome that poor clodhopper if he would only do it within the law.

Whether that is done with a guest worker program, a green card or even application for citizenship doesn’t matter - as long as it is done legally. We are in desperate need of someone who can show Taco Bell how to make a decent burrito. And who knows ... that poor latino might get all cleaned up, go to school and wind up one day as US Attorney General ... and then it would be his job to enforce the law.

Minutemen Installing Arizona Border Fence
_{May 28, 2006, 9:44 AM EDT}

PALOMINAS, Ariz. (AP)—Scores of volunteers gathered at a remote ranch Saturday to help a civilian border-patrol group start building a short security fence in hopes of reducing illegal immigration from Mexico. The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps plans to install a combination of barbed wire, razor wire, and in some spots, steel rail barriers along the 10-mile stretch of private land in southeastern Arizona.

They hope it prompts the federal government to do the same along the entire Arizona border. President Bush has pledged to deploy as many as 6,000 National Guard troops to strengthen enforcement at the border. The guardsmen would fill in on some behind-the-lines Border Patrol jobs while that agency’s force is expanded.

But the Minutemen have said it’s not enough. The group’s founder, Chris Simcox, said they want a secure fence and they’re starting at the site where his first patrols began in November 2002. Rancher Jack Ladd and his son, John, were hopeful the effort would limit the illegal immigrants and drug runners who have cut the small fence along the property or just driven over it to cross into the U.S. “We’ve been fighting this thing for 10 years with the fence, and nobody will do anything,” Jack Ladd said.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
