Why Not Build That Wall?

[somepumpkin]

I found this reason quite compelling (from one of the many other threads about this):

@Try2B_Comprehensive

The reason Texas doesn’t want the wall is not because they’re into nullification, **it is because the border in Texas is mostly privately owned land that would need to be appropriated via eminent domain. For people who have to balance “they’re coming for your wimmen!” vs. “The government is going to take your land”, the passion just isn’t as hot for the wall.

Weren’t the existing sections built on public land, and sold as a drug-interdiction strategy? Now it is proposed on private land, and sold as a monument to hatred. There are distinctions here.

I’m surprised this has gone on so long without the eminent domain aspect getting more attention. The plan is pretty much not feasible because of this, and that should be the end of it.

But no, the deadline to have something ready to sign by the 15th is tomorrow, and I have not seen much in the way of a deal. Get ready for a Cat 5 stupid storm, folks.

Bolding mine.
