PHOENIX The Minutemen are telling the government to deal with immigration, or they will. The border watch group is proposing a new fence along the U-S-Mexico border.
Minutemen leader Chris Simcox says they're sending President Bush an ultimatum -- either deploy the National Guard and military reserves to the border by May 25th or beginning Memorial Day weekend, they'll break ground and begin building a border security fence.
Simcox says six Arizona land owners, as well as land owners in California, New Mexico and Texas, have promised to allow the fence to be built on their land.
If it's built, the Minutemen say it'll be a double-layer fence with trenches on the Mexican side, facing Mexico, so that vehicles can't drive through it.
