Video: Protesters explain why they are building the fence

'Vigilantes' fence Arizona border

Minutemen begin work on border fence

The Minutemen held a ceremony to mark the start of work

A group of US volunteers that has been patrolling the frontier with Mexico to stop illegal immigrants has started building a fence along the border.

The Minutemen group plans to erect a combination of barbed wire, razor wire and steel barriers along a 10-mile (16km) stretch of privately-owned land.

Hundreds of volunteers gathered in Arizona for an inauguration ceremony.

The Minutemen are allowed to report illegal crossings to border police but have no right to arrest suspects.

Human rights groups have accused the Minutemen of xenophobia towards illegal immigrants - but the group denies this.

Minutemen website


US President George W Bush backs plans to curb illegal immigration by extending a fence along the Mexican border and increasing the number of patrols along it.

The question of easing - or tightening - curbs on illegal immigrants is one of the most divisive issues in US politics, provoking fierce debate among Democrats and Republicans.

'Taking action'

The Minutemen have long campaigned for a secure fence along the border.

The group has now begun building its fence at the site where it conducted its first patrols in November 2002.

"Many have talked of building a secure fence between Mexico and the United States," the group said on its website, adding that it is now "taking action" and "doing the job the federal government will not do".

A spokeswoman for the group told the Associated Press news agency it would take three weeks to build the fence, costing an estimated $100,000 (£53,900).

She said the group had already raised $380,000 (£204,700) to build more fences.

Competing bills

President Bush's plan for better border security is part of a package of measures approved recently by the US Senate.

But the package also contains provisions for a guest-worker programme and for offering citizenship to some illegal immigrants.

Its opponents say it is too soft and that all illegal immigration should be criminalised.

The Senate bill will have to be reconciled with a tougher immigration bill, backed by the House of Representatives, if any part of it is to become law.

"doing the job the federal government will not do".

No doubt a stab at Bush's reference of illegals "doing jobs Americans don't want to do".

Hey, maybe they should hire illegals to build the fence!

Don Goldwater, candidate for governor in AZ, was there yesterday, and proposed doing exactly that. LOL
