“[N]or shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”
The framers were property owners and mistrusted government.

Anyone being paid just compensation has nothing to bitch about. The interstate highway system was built for the purpose of national security, a public use, to be able to transport machines and troops where needed.

The reason for the wall is identical: to repel an invasion. The Texans opposed to border security are bitching because they want FMV plus for desert scrub that even Gila monsters and Mexicans can’t wait to vacate.

The framers were property owners and mistrusted government.

And they were absolutely right to do so ... and when I see people bitching about paying fair market value for land which the government wishes to take by force, I am reminded of how right the Framers were.
