The majority of the land along the southern border (outside of Texas) is already federal land so no one's private property will be in question in those areas.

So what is the rub, you may ask? Why on Gods green earth would these obstinate Texans take issue with such a "noble cause"? I could really care less about the unfortunate SOB's in "those areas", other than the concept that they are fellow US citizens. Trash me all you desire. I do understand the history of the Republic of Texas. And many come here demanding a Democracy.

As I said, I am a native Texan and believe that most will welcome securing our borders in this fashion.

The current legislation is for 700 miles...my guess is that very little will be on private land at this point. But I believe we need the barrier along the entire border and would welcome the legislation inacting it and funding it.

You are free to feel as you wish and use your rights of free speech and petition to influence this however you wish. I and others have that same right.

As to those coming here demanding or seeking a "democracy" should be sent packing. This nation is not, never has been, and was never intended to be a democracy. The form of government ensured by the constitution and stipulated therein is a Republic.
