You do know the following two issues have been holding up the building of the fence? Lawsuits between the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Texas landowners. DHS sued 50 Texas landowners who oppose government requests to grant survey access to their private property.
AND
DHS has announced that it will waive federal environmental laws to move forward in the building of the 670 miles of border fence.
You do understand even the Federal government, including the POTUS have to obey the law of the land and respect due process?
I am fully in favor of building the fence, however, within the framework of law, which the country is based on, each property owner has the right to contest loss of property without compensation.
Being an inholding owner, and therefore living under the spectre of a “declaration of taking”, I am aware that when there is an immediate need (whether real or merely what some ‘crat wants), government can “assume title and pay later”, so to speak.
What could be more immediate than securing the border?
I voted for both Bush’s both times, and under the same circumstances, would so do again.
But, they performed as they said,- as “moderates”, not as real conservatives. Jeb Bush I have spoken with at length, and he is a very good person. His willingness to allow America to be degraded by immigration of peoples unwilling to become American is a tragic flaw.
The Bush’s and immigration freaks in general, seem unwilling to face the fact that some cultures are both antithetical to, and irreconcilable with, America and the Founding Documents.
Islam, and those who believe in that “faith”, and Latin Americans unwilling to forget their cultural heritage and become Americans - these are such as are basically irreconcilable with and antithetical to America.
Remember that Spain was shaped by centuries of Islamic rule. Look at Latin America as ‘Muslim light’ and their history and culture become more easily understood.
Examples: The Islamic “Baaksheesh” is “La Mordita”. ANd, ever heard of a Spanish influenced culture where there were citizens, not subjects? And what of being secure in person and property?
