We don't need to look like East Germany. Just make the wall like the Vatican and call it the largest work of art ever created!

There should be 200 feet of easement, from the actual border into the property owner’s land. Just like owning land along a US Highway. An easement allows the government to keep taxing you for the property you can’t build on.

Taking land for a private oil pipeline was supported; taking land for a wall will not be a problem.

Remember.

This “East Germany” comparison is done often, when trying to criticize a real border.

The East Germany wall, was designed to KEEP PEOPLE IN. It was a prison wall.

The Trump was is the complete opposite.

But you knew that.

“I really am not comfortable with my nation looking like East Germany ———”


Oh for heaven’s sake-——two COMPLETELY different things.

Build the wall north of their property.

The property owner should be reminded that their open section of the fence will be a funnel for illegal crossings, ie the trash, dead bodies, and CBP running over their land.

If they can't get the wall funded, there is your 2 weeks a year of National Guard duty. Or the feds could fund some compensation for longer assignments. Good practice for detecting infiltrators if they have to go to Iraq/Syria.

A lot cheaper than building and unguarded wall 50 miles from nowhere that the drug cartel would go over/under/thru like they do along the Calif. border.

You did see where the cartel built a door/gate into the wall big enough to drive thru, but looked just like any other section and not noticed by the Border Patrol driving by on their rounds.

The concept is called eminent domain. Hopefully with just compensation.

Well that is good news, we just need to stock more and bigger alligators in the Rio Grand River. The big question is how to younger them to like the taste of criminals and cartel members?

I highly doubt that the narcos have the ability to tunnel under the Rio Grande River due to the water seepage and, even if they could, sensors could detect the digging. If we set the wall back from the river they would have a hard time starting a tunnel between the river and the wall.

Besides, it is entirely feasible to insert explosive mines underground that would only kill the tunnellers.

All open-borders Freepers are pathetic.

Kelo most certainly DOES apply. Though the case was in regards of Ms. Kelo and her neighbors losing their homes to a government who was going to hand their property over to a private developer, the precedent was powerful. Ask any lawyer who works in this area of law-- I have. Kelo was a bulldozer of eminent domain. Any government, down the the smallest hamlet and all the way up to the Trump administration, can now take properly for literally any reason. Why do you think states have been passing anti-Kelo statutes? They KNOW the case made defending against an eminent domain taking almost impossible.
