I just have to laugh when a clown makes such a ridiculous claim.
Perhaps you should write the author and express your sentiments to him. I don't see what good telling me your thoughts on the matter is going to do.

If one million people were going to be thrown out of their homes or off their land, no politician in Texas would even touch such a plan.
You really need to stop expanding upon what was presented. You're giving the impression that folks are going to be thrown out of their homes or off of their lands when no such argument is being made. The statement made in the article was..."one million Texans are about to lose their land..."
Now, that could mean that somebody might lose anywhere from one acre to twenty acres, but nowhere is it stated, or implied, that anyone was going to be thrown off of their land or out of their homes.
What you're practicing is called hyperbole - extravagant exaggeration.

I've seen that somewhere before. ..."one million Texans are about to lose their land..."

LOL!
