Yeah, this isn't about fence v wall. You alleged the state already owns this property. It doesn't. It will take land away from owners.Doc Holliday said:10% of TX has a fence vs 80-90% for the other three states. Need a wall all over the Big Bend National Park.quash said:You're thinking of the land sought by Bush for the fence.Doc Holliday said:
5/27/1907 - President Theodore Roosevelt reserved a strip of land on the southern US border as necessary for border security. 60 FEET of land was allocated (excluding that land which was already lawfully owned). There is NO CLAIM by left that the government will be taking land to build the wall.
"But much of the land the Bush administration requested was already owned by the federal government, said Gerald S. Dickinson, an assistant professor of law at the University of Pittsburgh who focuses on land use and constitutional law. The wall Trump wants to build would be different, he said."
That is the most unguarded part of the border by far. No fencing for about 500 miles from El Paso, TX to Laredo, TX.
2000+ crossing per day.
