| AZ Plans To Build Border Fence With Donations And Prison Labor | |
| 2011-05-09 | |
"We're going to build this site as fast as we can, and promote it, and market the heck out of it," said state Sen. Steve Smith, a first-term Republican senator from Maricopa, and sponsor of the bill. He suggested that construction will begin on sections as soon as there is the money to pay for them. AZ's 376 mile border is the most active corridor of both illegal aliens and illegal drugs of the 2000 mile border area. Federal officials refused comment about Arizona's initiative in the face of their negligence. They will likely try to prevent it. State Corrections Director Charles Ryan said getting inmate labor to help construct border fencing will be cost effective, as their work is provided for 50 cents an hour. Getting permission from private landowners is not expected to be difficult, especially since one of them was treacherously assassinated by a Mexican cartel a few years ago, when he went to render aid to a Mexican decoy he thought was an illegal alien in distress. | |
