Simcox ultimatum to Bush: `Build fence or Minutemen will’

Minuteman border watch leader Chris Simcox has a message for President Bush: Build new security fencing along the border with Mexico or private citizens will.

Simcox said Wednesday that he’s sending an ultimatum to the president, through the media, “You can’t get through to the president any other way,” to deploy military reserves and the National Guard to the Arizona border by May 25.

The big question here is what form the governmental establishments opposition to this will take, since there is demonstrably a determination that the expressed will of the people is not a valid consideration.

This is the biggest screw-up of the administration, and if they aren’t careful they will cause themselves serious damage, which will be no more than they will have deserved.
