There is a good stretch of land in Texas that is private property to the border.
This would be the land they are speaking to for eminent domain.
It remains to be seen if they try to do this. The Trump admin knows it will not be favorable to take even the small strip to build a wall or barrier.
But he wants to build 200+ miles of wall with the money he takes from other services.
Something tells me it will be less than 120 miles at best.
The only places the border patrol has suggested using barriers is where there are rural activity on both sides of the border. Not in farm land or the desert.
But I think it will really be a non issue in the end. It may be wrapped up in court battles till the end of his term. Perhaps even a veto-proof legislation from congress.
Many Senators do not want their pet project defense spending to disappear as I doubt the house will replace the funds taken. And then there are the defense lobbyist.
Just a big mess when you look at it ?
