And all of those highways were built using eminent domain, what makes the border wall any different? Easements can easily be placed on those properties and the land owners would be compensated for that easement as well. Heck in most cases, it probably already exists.

Not in Texas per se. Texas came into the Union as a Republic. The Republic
owned the land up to the border. Nothing provided for an easement along the
Rio Grande to the Feds. In the Western states an easement was provided for
when the area became part the USA.
The internet can provide you info about all this if you care to spend some
time digging.
It will get worked out but it will take time, etc.
