Really are you not thinking of your Grandchildren's future. Build the wall.
I know that area all too well. I wouldn’t be shocked in the slightest if he was taking cartel money, along with a few other people down there. Most of the ranchers want a barrier badly.
It's so sad that our country is being ripped apart by that idiot in office 😡😡
Its a court fight to loose. The government's have the law of imminant domain on its side. The land owner will be forced to transfer such land to the government for public use in exchange for a sum be determined by the court other wise a land owner could block public works.
I bed he’ll want a nice wall of cartels showed up.
There are still court cases from the last time the feds stole people's land
You’re so full of Sht and you know it, what makes you think you’re exempt from eminent domain , or are you getting money from the traffickers !
The expectations that Texans would just relinquish property rights to a government for a wall is amazing. That's not what they tell you Texans are about. If Obama tried this there would have been militias guarding property, ranches, farms, etc on the border. I hope they will.
Give realDonaldTrump HE[[!!!
realDonaldTrump will rue the day he tried to take land from a bunch of Texans.
theRogueReview We had land we loved and lived in forever But the Government wanted our land to build an interstate. Guess what? They got It -Good Lick 👍
baccantuscany The Rio Grande will no longer be part ours blocked off.
Trump will steal this man's land. Make no mistake about it. They will condemn it, then take it through eminent domain. The landowners will get pennies on the dollar, or no money at all.
Good luck with that. Ya might want to read up on how eminent domain works.
mitchw7959 Trump & Cruz supporters? Elections have consequences.
soniclore Exhibit A!
They should be glad, they voted for trump
Another way for realDonaldTrump to whip up trouble but this time it’s not a Democrat but a Republican that staunch southern Republicans will be gunning for SenBobCorker
Well build that fence around the outside of that persons property. Protect others in that county and let all the illegals stay on HIS property! Bet he'd change his mind quickly!
You know... Trump's the kinda guy who would then build the wall around the thwarter's property, leaving it on the Mexican side.
Anyone that doesn't reject a buyout is silly. Make them file for eminent domain. Does the media not understand that you generally get more by making the govt go through the steps.
Hey realDonaldTrump look how much these people want the wall, just like you said! MAGA
JuliaDavisNews Will the Texas GOP stand up to 45 'President Trump' and stand with land owners in Texas? noeminentdomain what say you tedcruz JohnCornyn
I don't see the problem! If my hidden American HISTORY lesson serves correct. These farmers ancestors & forefathers were given the land during the Homestead Acts' of the 1800's. U know the land stolen from the aborigines people. The natives. Its called Manifested Destiny!
Seize the land! These idiots voted for him! Give em what they voted for!
The good of the country will prevail over the financial interests of the few!
That's okay, we will put up a wall on either side of your property, with big signs and arrows pointing in saying, 'Entre aquí' right onto your property. And of course we will need lots of government cameras and drones right over your property where the gap is. Enjoy.
They voted for Trump. Where the hell did they they think that wall, they all chanted and ranted about was going to go?
MattJorg4543446 Unfortunately not how the law works. I wonder who they voted for?
The Interstate Highway? Pres. Eisenhower?
This is b's name one
Good thing this old fart doesn't have a choice.
sorry assholes...executive orders to protect this country can commandeer your property!!!!
So build the wall around their properties. They should enjoy being totally exposed to Mexico and having to drive 50 miles to the gate and show their passport when they want to access American facilities.
RinzenLhamo Wait so you’re saying the people actually living on the border who own vast swaths of land there DON’T want a giant wall? Huh, imagine that.
THANK YOU TEXAS LANDOWNERS!
I would take a god damn trillion dollars.
Wow, great Patriot? Whoever said this is a turd.
You’re so full of Sht and you know it, what makes you think you’re exempt from eminent domain , or are you getting money from the traffickers !
Eminent domain
Also a state that overwhelming voted for the jackass 🤷🏻♂️ thoughts and prayers maybe...
I sure land owners were happy that Cruz stood there with trump talking about taking their land. That what Texas voted for.
bradfordsweet The U.S. government owns 62 miles of all land north along U.S. border with Mexico and the same south of Canada. There is no such thing as privately owned land in these zones. Besides, the overwhelming majority of near border property owners want a physical barrier PLUS security!
There are still lawsuits in the court system from when W. Bush tried to take land, I believe.
I don't blame you, shouldn't have 2 sell ur land for a fucking wall that's not going 2 do anything about immigration. Any Texans land holder should fight for their land 2 the death. McConnell needs 2 do his job and pit this bill on the floor 4 a vote ,what does he cares his rich!
A family of landowners in Mission TX were paid a whopping $3.70 an acre for their land
It's called immenent domain and you will take a reasonable amount FOR YOUR COUNTRIES BEST INTREST
ClariceFox4 Let the illegals pass through the resisters’ land. That should give them some eyewash.
Has the America government lost the plot of what freedom and democracy is all about ?
Cede his land to Mexico, build a wall around his property and make him go though a border checkpoint to enter the US.
Womp womp
I wonder where the Pacific Legal Foundation will land on this topic? they traditionally are very much VERY pro-property rights, especially when confronted with Eminent Domain issues.
Good luck with that
Stand Your ground!😉
We should be tearing down the border fences/walls, not building them.
A trillion ? I’ll take it!!! Thanks
EndtheTrumpMcconnellShutDown
FakeNews
Well, slick. Looks like you'll have to accept the Fair Market Value the government gives when it exercises eminent domain.
Hope the rich ones help the poor ones in this fight. For once I’m hoping others actually have a heart and help thy fellow human
With all the Lawsuits that will be presented it will take forever to even start a Wall
Build the wall behind them...leave them on the Mexican side.
GOOD LUCK !!!!
...would not take a trillion dollars? That represents a serious lack of imagination.
True...because how where else they get their super cheap labor? They pay migrant workers pennies & treat them like slave labor. When they start having drugs & human trafficking through their land - they may reconsider.
WELL DON’T CRY WHEN A ILLEGAL ALLIAN CROSSED YOUR LAND AND BREAKS INYOUR HOME AND ROBBES U AND ASSAULTS YOUR FAMILY OR MURDERS THEM . THAT WALL MAY BE THE ONLY THING THAT COULD SAVE U AND YOUR FAMILY . GOD FORBID THAT U WOULD HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THAT .
Eminent domain has taken land for less worthy causes. Get ready to move !
The media knows better
America is a land of hypocrisy & shame!
Don’t mess with Texas
Yes hold your ground, literally.
RealJamesWoods
Hah! They will offer you 'fair market value' and give you a date when you will be out!
Imminent domain gonna get ya!
There are ALOT of issues with building this 'wall' that Toddler Trump doesn't even know or understand. He'll find out soon.....
You could give me a trillion dollars and I wouldn’t take it,” said Cavazos, whose land sits along the Rio Grande, the river separating the U.S. and Mexico in Texas. “It’s not about money.”
Just direct all the incoming migrants through his ranch.
👊🏻
What happened to his red hat?
Eminent domain shitbags
isn't were eminent domain come in? but they voted for the bastard
Diplopundit You won't have a choice just like I didn't when the sewer and water people wanted to come across my land. We worked it out, and so will you.
Woot woot!!
Don't let the government steal your land!
SarahLynn2390 You clowns voted for him. What did you expect?
Ask them who they voted for. Also if the voted Cruz in again. If they did then too bad....
They’ll lose.
It would be fun if you dug up the article from the 90s, and how a little old lady won her eminent domain case, and he couldn’t take her house to build a parking lot in Atlantic City.😁
Just curious why you only mention 2 people, one a landowner and the other a pastor of a church. I've read and heard of other landowners that want the barriers/walls. So how about presenting both sides so that we can hear the full story.
miggiepdx Good for you, standing up for your land.
When maga voters finally realize what their presidents version of maga looks like. Lol
R e s p e c t
Of course it will interrupt their cheap labor force
Well TX, you voted from him. Enjoy!!
Guess they like people crossing into the USA illegally? Well, the government will win.
Oh well, the federal government has the right to seize land.. security is more important than peoples feelings of land
Don't these folks know that President Trump will cut a deal with Mexico and put the wall on their side of the border every where US citizens refuse to sell? Don't be foolish! Take the money!
sorry TRUMP no wall period
I bet everyone of them voted for Trump
Even if the wall gets fu fed, will get pass Texas landowners?

Wonder how many of these 'cowboys' voted for trump.
Trump couldnt buyout that guy in Scotland to finish his golf course either.
That's because we know that those on the boarder are (D) loving illegals.
Texas is not the state to be forcing ppl to give up their land. Possibly strongest property rights state in nation. DJT will be loooong gone before these cases are resolved in court.
Lol, doesn't matter my position. I'd take the trillion and gtfo of the country in a heart beat.
I don’t agree with building a wall but if some offered me trillions of dollars I’d be in my room packing a suitcase.
Oh, this is rich. Make my day.
Heh..... And Trump thinks the fight in Congress is ugly... Just wait for this fight!
KathleenMcCarr8 realDonaldTrump GOP Good luck! You're going to need it!
I bet those Texas land owners aren’t realDonaldTrump supporters anymore.
Take the trillion.
Gee maybe the Texas ranchers will turn blue🙏 what’s their saying “don’t tread on me”
They’ll lose.... the Government has unlimited funds!
Pegster99 What are the odds they voted for DumpyDonnyDimwit - anyone?
Don't mess with Texas.
The only ppl concerned about that manufactured Roger Stone idea are ppl who don't live at the border or near the border, they live in State no where near the border so their hysteria is unwarranted.
Well, Texas voted for this when they voted for Trump. It's time to pay the pied piper
The easiest Road around that is to have the construction Crews work on the Mexican side of the Border building the wall! I'm sure POTUS can Negotiate that!
Isn’t this the whole reason republicans claim to hate “big government”?😂 Another lie exposed.
SlabbedNewMedia This will be the true wastefulness of the whole deal if he gets it. How many dollars wasted in court and payouts will we be on the hook for in addition to the $5 billion?
senatemajldr realDonaldTrump SenateGOP GOP VP Even Texas landowners do NOT want the vanity wall
They shouldn’t waste their money. Eminent Domain will prevail.
Some (according to Lawerence Tribe), have already had cases about acquiring land under Eminent Domain tied up in court since 2006. Even under a National Emergency it will not work, precedence set with Pres. Truman
karenaboylan Don’t Mess With Texas!!!
Give Texas back to México GTBTM
Leave that part open and dont patrol it, he will learn soon enough.
Hopefully those Texas landowners didn’t vote for the idiot who wants to build the wall. If they did they have nobody to blame but themselves
Then build the wall up to their property line ; leave their property open and continue the wall on the other side. They can deal with anyone entering.
95% of Texas is privately owned. Have fun Trump
No problem. Heard the illegals into their land. Let them live and hang out there.
... his kids inheriting the land might take the $T deal
Tough lesson to learn, that your racism has consequences.
But didn’t they vote for trump?
You own what happens to you if that’s the case !
Kragar_LGF I'm thinking they voted for him...
It will be taken then, no problem!
They voted for him soooooooo
Hahaha yessssss the resistance!!!!
Fake news
Please tell that church that the Vatican has a wall why not them
I’m glad that this story is finally surfacing. There’s much more to this border wall then any politicians, or media have been talking about until now.
SpazzyKK Those folks take their land rights as serious as a heart attack. It's more than just a living/job to them.
Trump is an expert in stealing land just look at the land he has stolen to build some of his golf courses.
I knew this would happen, these landowners don’t want this .
And like others in eminent domain cases, they will lose.
Translation: human and drug traffickers refuse to give up life of crime
Chris_09765 And yet the idiots probably voted for Trump and they would probably do it again...
freespeechtv Eminent domain.
MiddleAmericaMS I wonder how many of them voted for the Dotard.
Don’t put a wall where it’s not wanted. Create a corridor that illegals can pass through. They can spend the night and get refreshed before being picked up and returned across the border.
That’s right. The president cannot put up a wall on private property. In the RGB, that’s mostly what is this private property.
BarkyMcBark Eminent Domain Is Theft
The Bundy’s would make sure no illegal would cross their land
Money can’t buy happiness !! 🙏🏽🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷GodBlessAmerica !
That’s ok. They can provide their own security. They can sign a legal contract that they will be responsible for any illegal crossing their land. They will be responsible financially and criminally.
Eminent domain idiots
Eminent Domain is always a tough call.. for security, it’s a no brainer. I’d gladly negotiate a buyout.
You're talking about a state that has more lawsuits against the federal government and has won then any other state in the nation! Texas's isnt scared of the federal government and neither should any other state.
Because big government taking land is a conservative value. Republican party has abandoned conservatism for white nationalism. Those who cherish the Constitution and the rule of law need to step up and tell GOP enough is enough.
So wait. Now conservatives want big government to take citizens land? I can’t keep up with the hypocrisy!
This guy is not looking out for his countrymen. Eminent domain is the name of the game.
GlennKesslerWP Republicans: supporters of land seizures.
I call bullshit
Wish them good luck.
CathyScero Yeah. I'm pretty sure he would take a trillion.
Texans' land over American lives. 'Where you from boy? You in Texas now boy'.
Mr President kindly declare a state of emergency and get our wall built. No matter what the haters do they will tie us up in court for years. Build the wall now
TrumpShutdown MitchShutdown McConnellShutdown
JuliaDavisNews I wonder how many of these threatened landowners voted for Trump and his racist wall in 2016.
MorSeaS
You’ll get market value and like it 😂
They can't stop the protection of Americans.
Can you really trust the reports of the associated press While they make it sound like many landowners, I wonder if it's only a few. Is there an easement between countries? If not maybe the Mexican side will allow it to be built, on the line between the countries.
Don’t they want an impenetrable fence on their property that only a hack saw can cut?
Good so. Defend YOUR land
AP - always on the wrong side of history!
Then make these land owners financially responsible for securing their section of the boarder as well as care and feeding of those who cross onto their land. Idiots!
But,but you voted for this guy,and Cruz,twice ! ? Live with it.
! THEN IT IS LEGAL FOR IMMINENT DOMAIN! WE HAD OUR LAND TAKEN IN ROSEMOND CALIFORNIA WE HAD NO CHOICE HE WILL ALSO
How many of those Texans voted for Trump and his wall, and where did they think the wall would be built?
Eminent domain will win like it always does. If some two-bit city official in every city and town can seize real property via eminent domain (they can), then the Federal Government can do it all day long to borderland property owners.
Texans already lost land to eminent domain...at the hands of a pipeline company during the XL Pipeline build. TransCanada won. To the Federal Government for a 'State of Emergency' we will most certainly lose again.
Now watch socialist politicians back these property rights claims... 😂😂 while conservatives argue the state/community needs must come first... 😂😂 get. on. America!! USpoli BizzaroWorld
You’ll never pry those Texans off their land
hierroyluz And I bet most of them bought into the nonexistent farce that Obama was going to try and take their guns. Sad.
Don’t EVER sell, never
ristopherrocks
Ironic that GOP country would fight the wall. Maybe the wall is not needed if people living on the actual border are saying no. They don’t seem to fear an invasion...
I'm with the land owners on this one.
Eminent domain.
DeepInTheHills Trump really is an imbecile and the majority of Americans know it. However, Russians love owning an American president.
That’s ok make their property an open border location
Stand your grounds Texans
I’d take the trillion dollars and shut up- if not- that pesky takings clause will change your tune
This landowner rejecting buyout offers is the same who would deny eminent domain for highways, schools, bridges, mass transit rails & even blight. Utilities are essential for use of private land too. The plight of the landowner doesn’t dissuade usage afforded by 5th Amendment.
Well, then imminent domain will kick in. And you'll take the money and the wall will be built.
PaulieD55 Most ranchers don’t want their homes broken into and stuff stolen. To search their property and find dead bodies.
They tried that before. They lost in court to their own state government.
The only thing Texans will fight harder for than their guns, is their land.
PaulieD55 AP (liberal misinformation). All landowners previously were willing to sell off section of land for the border wall. The one who wasn’t willing was taking bribes and assisting smugglers. He was caught and thrown in jail. Not willing to sell? Must be dirty.
The land owners and regional law enforcement should be making the major decisions of how and what here. Not some guy in DC.
No money for it! A wall takes repair and upkeep just hire people to patrol!!!
debbiecampaz Dumb!
studentsabrina And these folks voted for Trump
🇺🇸👍
Eminent domain will not work as Trump plans to seize land for his wall. Landowners will stand just as firm as Widow Vera Coking in Atlantic City who REFUSED to allow Trump to steal her land. And they will WIN. Give nothing to Trump! He cannot have his Ego Vanity Wall.
Wonder how many of these ppl voted for the Orange Mayhem?
K
They want a wall. They just don’t want it on their property. They want it on yours.
Yeah check out the Foxconn story. The town admin will just nuke your land before you can refuse.
a trillion dollars? I but he would take it. I would.
Will BenedictDonald and the Deplorables call these 'frivolous lawsuits'?
B.S.
Good, we will take your land under domain laws stupid.
So AP goes out and finds the only liberal border ranch owner in the entire southwest. Good luck in court.
Let those stubborn Texians fend for themselves. BUILD THE Wall on each side of their land, leaving the front open.
Then end that portion of the wall right at their property line so they get to play hosts to all the interesting guests that will pass through.
I’ll take the trillion!!! 😀
catalishus2 Well they voted for dumpy, what did they expect?
There’s your President folks.
But did they vote for that realDonaldTrump fool? If they did ...they gonna spend a 'trillion' in a legal fight!! Gluck! ImpeachTheMF TrumpShutdown TrumpWall
And they’ll lose under eminent domain.
Never change, AP.
Sorry buddy. We will just have to roll over you. Of all the crooked piss poor excuses for using imminent domain this is the first legitimate one I've heard..unless you are aiding illegals then what are you bitching about? Guess you got to be the bug this time.
That is Wrong, unless the owners are Mexicans heritages. Border security comes first. Landowners must cooperate with the Government at Borders
Imminent domain

I would sell my land for a trillion
if illegals are using their land to get in they need to keep them from entering or let the govt do it
Maybe they need to build a wall between them and the US . Or they could vote the idiots out of office.
MrMurder37 Just take Mexico's side of the border. They have abandoned it.
Bullshit. You'd sell everything you own for a trillion dollars.
Good luck with all the illegals coming in through your back yard
Well just don’t build the wall on their property. Guess what will happen? Yeah, after a month or so, they will be asking for a wall because they are inundated. The illegal crossers follow the path of least resistance.
I wonder who they voted for.
Exactly why TraitorTrump didn't pull any martial-law type actions, because he knows how badly that will backfire on him.
Yeah, that 50 feet of Texas Land is REAL valuable! Doubt it's located in downtown Dallas! Just another one of those 'incidental' Americans with no sense of civic responsibility!
rhonda_harbison Pretty sure he voted for that false prophet too.
SusanBedard4 Texans are proving me right. tRump, even if he gets the money, is never gonna see that wall. His term will be over before the ED cases get to the courts.
Sounds like the people who live on the border are simply terrified of the hoards of rapists and murderers poring across the border. They can't wait for the wall.
Just put them on the Mexico side of the wall
Wow, Texas is finally doing something right!
Land owners who allow some of their land for a wall will cause more crossings onto the land of those who didn't allow it. Then some of those will change their mind causing more concentration of illegals onto naysayer land. ETC.
PCasanave1 They’re still fighting Bush’s land grab attempt. Trump’s attempt will meet the same fate if it ever gets off the ground at all.
Sure you wouldn’t.
Ever hear of eminent domain. DO IT!!!! bulidthedamnwallnow

No conscience....drugs, welfare, SS fraud, etc continue in this country....bad enough with US citizens but to include all those illegally here is our own fault....
If they truly wanted to stifle the government. Build a cemetery there, I’ve seen landowners fight eminent domain this way successfully.

Its called eminent domain, bro. Build that wall.
NorwichBulletin I think that will change as their property gets overrun with illegal immigrants. The. Their property will not be worth anything . 😢
Read my lips, “He doesn’t care about you.” 👄
He'll never get any wall. Guaranteed
He obviously doesn't know that they will pay him whatever low ball offer they want to make and there's nothing he can do to stop them. There is no true due process for property owners against eminent domain.
So build it to their borders then stop ! As soon as thousands of illegals stampede across onto their properties as it’s the only opening available they will soon be. Egging for help !
MAGA BuildTheWall Oh yeah, by taking people's property? I thought all you Cult45 Conservatives are all about keeping government out of your life? Hypocrisy TrumpShutdown TrumpLiesEveryTimeHeSpeaks ImpeachTheMF

Trump will funnel $10 billion to his lawyer buddies trying to take land to build his $5 billion wall.
The border wall issue is still making headlines wow
Be sure to tell POTUS and the press corps that when they visit the border.

GOP realDonaldTrump SenMajLdr SenSchumer This looks like Texas land owners slapping their desks & saying bye-bye. That clean Continuing Resolution? How about it?

Remember the Alamo.
Will the well armed militia stand up to trump trying to take their land?
They will lose.
Give them the option they can keep their land but become part of Mexico and build the wall on the opposite side of the property or sell their property at the reasonable going rate of this year’s real estate market. So simple
He will lose. Or buy all the land around his and build the wall around this assholes land so all of Mexico can have access to only his land
This man wouldn't sell for a trillion dollars, but it takes two to tango. The government could have offered two trillion dollars.
JuliaDavisNews This should make those Bundy bunglers look like Teletubbies.
Who'd they vote for?
Buy land from Mexico fuk the farmers
Yet if a schmo like me knocked on this hick’s door offering 3x what the property is worth he’d take it.
Hopefully that area won’t have to be affected and this person won’t have to be smothered by the media trying to stir the pot. Just sayin
“The baby birds and butterfly’s will be negatively impacted” much more important.
Up to the court we go
Funnel the traffic to their properties. They’ll change that tune
What about the land owners who are for it AP? You didn't have time for them?
It's great!!!!!!
Kris_Sacrebleu Why?
CyrusToulabi Looks like if realDonaldTrump does declare a fake National Emergency to build the wall, the wall won't be built until well after 2020. By that time, a wall won't matter. MuellerTime 😐🇺🇸
Gonna run into Eminent Domain so fast his head will spin.
Okay. Then just charge him with aiding and abetting for every illegal that passes through his land.
The 3 foot easement rules sounds fair or he can pay them to put the wall/ fence on their land like they do phone towers.
44vreiki The most recent major USSC decision on eminent is Kelo vs. New London. Legislative intent is key. With PresidentLittlehands doing this all on his own, there is legislative statement.

Thos is why the wall wont work . This type of fight will he in the courts for years.
A national emergency declaration would render their holdouts useless.
And yet they voted for trump...🤨
I’d take the trillions.
then leave his property open - should be fun for him.
Good for you it’s shameful to take your land
Don’t they rely on the water from the RioGrande for their animals? Where would a wall go? Down the middle of the river How does that work for the wildlife?
As a victim of government’s eminent domain, there ain’t much you can do except pay an attorney a lot of money and lose.
SenCoryGardner lisamurkowski SenatorCollins We need you to take action against this shut down today. Essential government operations are at risk, people's lives are at risk. And if the WH starts seizing land from landowners, the second Civil War will be on the GOP.

Hey your boy is going to try and seize land from hardworking Americans. Didnt Fox,Jones, Breitbart, Hannity and Limbaugh say that Obama was going to do that?🤔
The benefits of the barrier far outweigh dead people.
The will lose!! I own a house and the road is buying me out I have no option!! BuildTheWall
Those land owners are STUPID. Very obvious. Let an illegal cross into their property and kill one of their family members. They'll change their minds quickly.
Curious how the TEXAS rancher voted? It’s amazing how you see the light when they come after you personally.
Remarkably unbiased article! “Many have hired lawyers...”, “Many of those families are seeking asylum...” asylum was offered by several countries closer than 3600 mile walk. “Hundreds of the more than 2400 children...” always use children!
Good, WE DONT NEED A GOD DAMNED WALL AND YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GIVE AWAY YOUR LAND OVER A TEMPER TANTRUM FROM OUR BABY PRESIDENT.
Rene_gadeCowboy They just don’t make more land once the government grabs
Trump is nuts. He hurts people.

Step 1: ingratiate self with owner Step 2: insert self into will and claim land Step 3: collect trillions when he dies

With eminent domain laws, this landowner won't have any choice. Trump will take his property if he wants it - and the American taxpayer will be forced to pay the legal costs to defeat this man in court. This is NotNormal
He’s got himself in a 9 line switch if he thinks he will get Texans to fork over their land without a fight.
Good luck with that.
I dont know, he says that but lay down a couple million at his feet, see if they start moving then.
Likely voted for this, now doesn’t want it!!!!!
ebernier4 Well, then their land can be the entry points. They’ll change their minds soon enough.
GOOD. Is there a GoFundMe started to help them with legal fees and expenses? All we need to do is get this tied up in court until Trump isn't president anymore, then this stupid wall idea will go away for good.
I call bullshit
Very noble. But they may, in fact, lose that land for a lot less than a trillion.
Most of the border is already owned by state & federal ! AP IS LYING AGAIN
That’s why eminent domain was created.
zuccPOTUS Imminent domain.. It's not your land Tex..
Welcome to eminent domain Sport. National security is more important than that. Sorry Charlie the entire nation gets a say over your yard.
JuliaDavisNews Texas landowners tell me how I can contribute to the costs of this fight.
Won't a 'national emergency' mean Trump can take it?
Trump has “threatened “ to use EMINENT DOMAIN...to rob the ranchers of their land...still voting for him now, Texas?
What happened with that Bundy farmer guy?
Blocking the entire concept based on a few landowners’ concerns is ludicrous. Many want the current walls enhanced and key segments of high traffic walled. May not affect one ranch. Try again to depth charge border security. border Talk to all ranchers about all concerns.
Just build the wall around their property and put them on the Mexican side.
Lol they can just take it
GlennKesslerWP Who dis they vote for and his central political promise?
So let them keep their land and build it right on their backyard property line.
Sorry Tex. Our country is more important. Your ranch is important , but we can’t achieve our objectives without you
That's fine... just build the wall up to his land... leave it open for them to all cross there and then we will know where to look with those drones... which is what Nancy says is all we need to apprehend illegals...
Everyone of these articles should say who these people voted for. If Eloisa Cavazos voted for Trump or if he didnt vote at all, then I struggle to find sympathy for his situation.
cakes_iam Is this what the GOP means when they talk about respecting the personal freedom of all Americans?
GlennKesslerWP I hope some good ol’ boys tear the spoiled baby a new one and run him right the hell back to DC.
Trump's very familiar with eminent domain abuse. I remember Vera Coking who lived at her residence for 32 years and here comes the sleazeball Trump. The jerk went after an elderly woman wanting to demolish her home so he could build a place to park his limousines.
And you always thought the Democrats were the ones who would take your stuff... Welcome to authoritarianism.
I don’t believe anything the AP says. Texas land owners are mostly Conservatives and they will welcome a wall along the border. The Government isn’t taking their land but protecting their land. MSM likes to piss people off with their lies.
This is stupid because anyone can find someone to fit their narrative, many will make arguments for also
Read about this topic previously; legal battles over eminent domain land seizures for the wall will drag out in the courts for a generation.
Totally not American. This is their land.
I hope you didn't vote for trump... Because trump loves EminentDomain!!!
I wonder how many of them voted for the Orange Dotard ?
Texas border Trumps beware! 30ft of concrete running through your yard can really mess up your dish reception.
realDonaldTrump ReleaseTheHostages
They'll Sell, Border land's losing value Daily. No one will pay what Govt will!
Eminent domain........
It would be cool if Texans had some type of spokesperson to represent them so their side could be heard SenTedCruz
I see AP is pushing the propaganda. Nice work
Trillion I would sell my land, house, and wife
Jrlvr88 Don't mess with Texas,trump
imminent domain my friends
tweetMalena But didnt they Vote4Trump so they could get a Wall ? 😎
Obviously he moved there from California.
Sadly, landowners will always lose against the government. Private property rights are really a myth. You never truly own property. We simply rent it from the government.
Don’t come here and they won’t be separated easy answer
And anyone who knows anything about Texans knows this is how they are about any government project - roads, dams, bridges, railroads, etc. There’s no zoning in cities like Houston for a reason.
Trump might want to tighten his cinches before he goes riding against some of these ol' boys in Texas. If he doesn't 'Remember the Alamo'...they do.
Does anybody care about the country anymore?
You will lose.
Good luck with that Chief!
I would take the trillion dollars.
We NEED the WALL
I will come to Texas and help you protest
Good luck and happy wasting your $$$
EvelynNiessner And he knows condemnation will take years and years in court to litigate. The wall wouldn't even start before his term is over. Someone should explain that to the President.
Eminent domain is well established law.. no need to try to work people up over it.. done deal. In fact, Dems are VERY for eminent domain !!
Imminent domain is real and they will not win.
Considering the government owns the first 60ft of land along the border I don’t think he has a case unless they need an access road or something Look up
Eminent domain. There is no fight, that shit is gone.
Knock, knock. Who is there? Eminent. Eminent who? Eminent Domain, the right of a government or its agent to expropriate private property for public use, with payment of compensation.
The GOP loves stealing from the American people, just like their best friend Putin likes to do in Russia.
Pretty sure a trillion would do it for me
Then a wall will get built all around your property leaving your space the only opening for a hundred miles. You’ll eventually beg for a wall to be built.
It is an interesting dilemma for those that DO want a wall... unless it would pass through their land, of course. lol
This should do it!! Lol
What would you say? Lol
That is the spirit.
This really cracks me up. Some of Trump's most ardent supporters will fight him in court if their land is taken for the awful wall.
It will be built on easements not seizure Stop the fakenews
As of yesterday, the estimated $1billion completion date for the wall gofundme was 3/19/2022. As of today it would be 4/29/22. Donations for that wall are slowing at a rate of 40 days til completion per date since it started. In other words, it's an epic fail.
Technology, which will continue to improve with demand, can do a lot to protect the border where barriers are not practical. Urban areas, like El Paso, have had good success with their walls.
When are you going to interview the land owners that would be happy to sell some land so they don’t have to keep finding dead bodies and pick up the trash the illegals leave on their land.
Then we build it on the Mexican side and call it 'foreign aid'.
unfortunetly the government can just take it
Build around them. Let the illegals enter only on their land.
How many voted for Trump. I bet all.
I’m old enough to remember when republicans insisted that theft of land by the government was immoral, unconstitutional, and downright tyrannical. Now? 🤷♂️ BillionDollarBoondoggle BorderSecurity
They have no choice it's called eminent domain
Trump loves a fight, threats of law suits don't faze him. Eminent Domain, and whatever he thinks the military version of it is, would be his go-to position. He doesn't really care what those border based landowners want - even if they do form a large part of his base.
Would he say the same thing if Hillary was office? HHHmmmmmmm....?
Wow two or three people want to fight it out of 1000s no chance they win that fight other owners said they would give there land up free of charge to protect there towns from being over run by drugs
Well, how about we give you zero dollars and take it through imminent domain? Deal? Deal.
And they probably all voted for Trump.
These would be those land owners being paid by drug smugglers to use their land
FactCheckU Stand firm. America is with you! 🇺🇸
Take the trillion dollars and buy the whole damn wall 😂
. Makes U wonder if some of these folks are being paid off by Traffickers to pass thru their property..
Please....you'd probably give it up for a million. You say you you pass on a trillion? Get real.
He's comi G for the same idiots that voted for him... We tried to tell them.... They better contact tedcruz.....BetoORourke would not support taking the land oh but they didn't vote for him
Collusion:
DAMN RIGHT! “Come and Take It!” You’ll have to pry our cold dead hands off our land before you steal it!!! Study Hit! Texas Fight!!! 🤘👍💪
There were fights over the interstate highway system too... it still got built... this means nothing BuildTheDamnWall
Build around them then
Talkmaster you agree right? Being libertarian and all! You should be for no wall! Are you?
This is when the Bundys and Minutemen types show up armed to the teeth, to defend private property from jack-booted-thug federal agents, right?
And if they are THAT stupid, I hope they lose.
I don’t believe him.
As expected.
Lmao the irony 😂
Genuinely interested in this. Is there no easement along our border? Do these land owners own right up to the Mexico line? Could they just build a wall along the line like they would a fence separating neighbors without declaring eminent domain?
Good luck...Eminent domain took land from my family in Pennsylvania for a intrastate highway...if they want the land you will lose in the end...sorry to say..
You cannot stop eminent domain. Secondly, you should never buy land on a national border.
Eminent domain will fix what ails him.
I think people really dont realize how uppity Texans can get if you threaten their land, their property, or their families.
Bush still has things in court over eminent domain
Good for them. Stand up to bullies. Reject the lies.
It happens every day...this twit is no different. This is just propaganda.
Seize their assets due to their Mexican Collusion, take away their citizenship, deport them...done! theLiberalWay
LosingCause they will lose NationalSecurity
They aren't going to be taking much of their land and they already allow border guards in their land. These people are going to have to explain to 4000 families that the lives of their murdered relatives are not as important to them as a few yards of land. Heinous.
Now you kick in your 2a rights. Go for it.
That’s not how emminet domain works
Don’t think you own the boarder
I don’t buy it. They are willing to give up a “trillion” dollars. Lol
So it's not about the money? Cool. Give him a $1 for his land
That hat! I need that hat!
Sounds like an opening negotiating position.
Always happens.
