There area lot of legal ways that will be used to block construction of the wall. Big parts of the border are in private hands; the Government can take their land by eminent domain but, if the landowners insist, they can get a federal jury trial on the value of their property before the Government can take it. Multiply that by a few thousand (or even a few hundred) landowners, and the courts along the border will be tied up for years. There are also big parts of the border that are Native American Reservations, and there will be years of court fights as to whether the federal government can build a wall if the Tribe objects.

More thank likely Trump will direct people to ignore the courts. He’s not going to get anything done if he obeys the lawless judiciary in this country.

I’ve posted this probable
method of building that
“Big Beautiful Wall”
previously; Build it right
down the middle of the
Rio Grande. Emanate domain
wouldn’t come into play,
and the envirowackos wouldn’t
have anything to complain
about. It’s basically
building a fence on your
property line...
