As President Trump travels to Texas on Thursday to cement public support for a wall on the southern border, area landowners are vowing to fight the federal government should it invoke eminent domain to seize their property and fulfill Trump’s central campaign promise.
Landowner Eloisa Cavazos told the Associated Press that she won’t sell her land along the Rio Grande River to the government at any price.

“You could give me a trillion dollars and I wouldn’t take it. It’s not about money,” said Cavazos, whose grandmother bought the land she now owns some 60 years ago. “This is heaven to us.”
The Trump administration has demanded $5.7 billion from Congress for the construction of 215 miles of new barrier on the southern border, 104 miles of which would cut through the Rio Grande Valley — and the president has said he would ensure the barrier is continuous by seizing private property through what he called the “military version of eminent domain.”

The declaration of eminent domain empowers the government to forcibly purchase property if it is deemed to be in the public interest. Trump’s reference to “military” eminent domain, while difficult to interpret, seems to indicate he believes that by declaring a national emergency, he can justify seizing the land without demonstrating the seizure is in the public interest. Texans who own land along the Rio Grande are currently preparing for this eventuality by hiring attorneys, according to the AP.

One such landowner is the local Roman Catholic diocese, which owns a historic chapel that sits in the so-called “enforcement zone” carved out for the wall. Roy Snipes, who says mass at the more than 100-year-old chapel, said the construction of a wall would constitute a “desecration” of sacred land.
“It would poison the water,” Snipes said. “It would still be a sacred place, but it would be a sacred place that was desecrated.”

Hey BB great post it does show a small portion of the facts as to roadblocks to build this wall. It hasn’t taken into consideration of environmental impact to to this wall.

This wall will never be built because there is years of legal battles, Water right treaties that need to be negotiated.

It is estimated that it could take 5 to 7 years before a shovel can be put in the ground.

Eminent domain could take at least 2 years to go thru the courts.

Environmental studies won’t even start until all the land has been acquired by the government that will take years.

Then once all the legal avenues are completed then we have civil engineers that lay out where the wall will be positioned southern ignorance will lead you to believe because it’s a desert all that’s needed is a shovel.

Roads need to be built in order to t***sport workers, equipment, and materials, before they even start. Out buildings need to be constructed. Remember we are miles away from civilization. The logistics will take years.

Not to mention this is 15th century technology in the 21st century for a wall in the middle of the desert.

But you can’t convince a stupid person because there to stupid to understand.

Trump knows this wall will never be built he just loves the controversy and it gives him the ability to change the news cycle to deflect away from Muellar investigation. Trump is without the biggest s**m artist this country has ever seen. And he has 32% of this country that has bought into his s**m.

Trump knows how to play to the stupid
Trump ( BREAKS SOMETHING) Trump then (FABRICATES A CRISIS) then he demands credit for promising to fix it.

Trump only fears two things, loosing his base and the Muellar investigation. So he tweets his lies daily to keep his base ignorant.

When T***p w*n the e******n the Russians win.
