Forgotten issue about border wall: eminent domain. US government will have to seize land from private owners in Texas. Some support sensors, but do not support physical barrier

I'm sure if President Clinton were president would be no issue. A Double standard just because President Trump one when the pundits said otherwise

We're talking about President Bill Clinton not Hillary. The Democratic party is in the production of going native and socialists which means they will fail in 2022. It appears that many and the Democratic party think that the people who are going to run the Border are going to be constituents of Democratic party and be able to vote in 2022 because they can't check for ID.

Most of the reports here in Texas (not from a Philadelphia newspaper), say the people on the border won't mind giving up some land. There will be outliers of course, but for years down here we have heard ranchers on the border complaining about finding dead bodies, rape trees and the like....

That's not correct--Texans very rarely like to give their land to the government.

I would think. That the border would be the edge of their property. So it would be like the Government providing a fence.

Some ranchers and land owners fear for there lives. Their property is damaged or stolen, they are attacked while opening and closing gates, the property is trashed. It is a mess. The other problem is drug cartels control the border. https://texasfarmbureau.org/farmers-ranchers-impacted-by-border-crisis-share-stories-online/

Texas farmers and ranchers who live near the border say the crisis is real and the immigrants illegally crossing into the U.S. has increased.

Funniest part of the story...“Philosophically, that’s abhorrent to me,” says Jacobs, 77, who considers himself a Republican though he’s voted for Democrats in the past." I'm just a little confused...is he a Republican that identifies as Democrat or a Democrat that identifies as a Republican? Will he be offended if I mis-identify his political leanings?
