Building wall in Texas - Should Federal govt. take private land away and access to water? (drug, attorney)

[nononsenseguy]

Remember this isn't "Trump's border wall." The wall was authorized by Congress at least two decades ago, and never built.

Is that the new messaging?

Yeah another empty campaign promise that is NEVER going to come to fruition, even if it could pass the House and Senate which is not likely.

Eminent domain cases are still dragging on a decade after the last fence extension in 2006 when Bush was in office.

If Bush couldn't extend his fence due to all the litigation, Trump's wall is not going to happen...

Donald Trump’s Mexican Border wall is happening, and he’s taking Texans’ land for it - Salon.com

The eminent domain process Bush started for his fence has still not been completed. There are still 90 lawsuits to resolve 10 years later.

Eminent domain does not happen overnight. Maybe the lawsuits for Trump's wall will be settled by 2027? The wall will be another epic fail for Trump.

The God-Emperor cannot be at fault. It is the job of the acolytes to interpret reality for us, so that we will understand that Trump's word is Truth and mere facts are trifles.

Obviously this has been what was in Trump's heart all this time, and you were just paying attention to his words.

Instead of the wall, they could go for a minefield, but that is so very messy.

Hispanics were in Texas before Anglos. Why did youu point out his last name is hspanic?

Read my post about it. After all, you responded to it. Why do so many Hispanic citizens (mostly of Mexican descent) think their ethnic group should be above our immigration laws and what does being in Texas before the so-called Anglos have to do with that? Aren't they just as obligated to respect our immigration laws just as any other citizen group is?

I did read your post. All two sentences. You start with this. Tony Martinez? That explains it all.

Your words, how does it explain it all?
