I think the US Government owns a sixty foot wide strip of land along the whole length of the US/Mexico border.
Teddy Roosevelt did it to prevent smuggling.
So unless the US government sold it to these people, they don’t really own it anyway.

This 60’ ROW/easement thing goes back to the origination of
the Nation before Texas became a part of it. Texas was not
part of the original land of the USA. When the gov’t set up
the other western states it included the 60’ ROW.
When Texas came into the USA it did so as an Independent
Nation. Thus no 60’ ROW exist along the southern Texas
border.
Go dig around the net and you’ll some info about it.
