Just don’t make it sound like you are doing them a personal favor by taking it from them by force.
That’s my objection.
Just to put this into perspective.... waterfront property runs about 1500.00 per FOOT..... now do the math
I didn't get too detailed in the discussions, but IIRC, I think the gov started negotiating at 2X what was considered "market value".
These weren't 100 mile purchases but they were a good size chunk of land and I can't recall any serious complaints from the owners.
Probably easier for the government just to over pay and get it done.
Not like it's their money.
Get a grip Joe. I never said such things. Seems like you are reading a schiff BS made up transcript.
Now I will say government should pay fair market value and pay at title transfer. Further, government should buy only the minimum required to build and secure the wall.
Sorry Redshawk....I had to pick a post in order to comment and yours was it.... the comments I made were not directed at you, but to other posters.... again sorry
No worries mate. I too would be upset at 75 per acre and ten years to pay. Our government really sucks. Gotta go. Dumbazs Quigley is on now.
Not all of the opposition is against the wall. Some large portion is about the compensation and compensation process.

Indeed. that would be pointlessly adding insult to injury ... eminent domain is often fraught with serious emotional overtones, often deservedly so, and is one reason we always approached eminent domain with sensitivity ...
Perfect. What we really need though in the wild areas is about a 10 mile buffer / no-man’s land on either side of the border. Most of that land just holds the world together anyway.
