Even before Donald Trump was inaugurated, U.S. citizens who own land along the border reportedly began receiving letters from the Justice Department informing them that the federal government wants their land to build a fence (i.e. the president’s border wall), that it intends to acquire their land, and the amount of compensation the government is offering.

Anyone that has a problem with our border being secured needs to be raped, murdered or killed by the filth that is coming across it.

Offer citizenship to those of the tribe living south of the border, move them north, pay them for the land and build the wall. Most tribal elders are realists, only the young ones are activists.

“I wouldn’t mind if Trump abolished congress and appointed himself king.”

Not sure if being sarcastic, but only congress can make laws. However, Trump won’t veto it given the resistance there within. ;)

LOL! Idea of March...Wish I could think of a good joke. ,;)

Auto-correct is nice, pretty much, but it changes things you thought were good without you even realizing it..So irritating! :)

It will be a normal taking by Eminent Domain with the land owners receiving just compensation. If the feds sent letters that included monetary offers, the lands have already been appraised.

Build the wall everywhere except on the trouble makers land, so the only places to cross easily are on troublemaker lands

Is that the place where the border goes right through the center of the library? I’ve been there!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haskell_Free_Library_and_Opera_House

The library collection and the opera stage are located in Stanstead, but the main entrance and most opera seats are located in Derby Line. Because of this, the Haskell is sometimes called “the only library in the U.S.A. with no books” and “the only opera house in the U.S.A. with no stage”. Another entrance is accessible directly from Canada, and used to be a backdoor to the stage before, but reconstructed in 2013 in order to remain open to its Canadian visitors without the need to report to customs and immigration of either country.

A thick black line runs beneath the seats of the opera house and diagonally across the center (or centre) of the library’s reading room to mark the international boundary. The stage and half of the seats are in Canada, the remainder of the opera hall is in the US. The building has different postal codes (93 Caswell Avenue, 05830 and 1, rue Church (Church Street), J0B 3E2) and different telephone area codes (+1-802-873-3022 and +1-819-876-2471) in its two respective countries.

The library has a collection of more than 20,000 books in French and English, and is open to the public 38 hours a week.

The building is recognized as a historic site in both countries. In the United States, it has been registered in the National Register of Historic Places since 1976. In Canada, it was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1985[3] and has been a provincial heritage site since 1977.

From the parts of the border I have visited there are what I would call “barriers” all ready in place. They just need some “maintenance” the way I see it and a little reinforcement.

The Texas/Mexico border runs right down the middle of the Rio Grande. There are times and places where the forces of nature render it under the domain of no one lesser than the Almighty.

Federal judges will block every shovel for EVERY reason. This travel ban thing has assured us of that.

The linchpin of the Presidency is how he handles these activist judges.

If you ain’t gonna fight, why’d ya bother runnin?

Pray that Trump puts on some boxing gloves and starts punching folks in the mouth. Otherwise....pfft.

Middle Easterners criss into the US from the Canadian border onto the reservations in upstate NY. The southern border is a distraction
