Analysis | Trump's 'big, beautiful wall' will require him to take big swaths of other people's land
The order has been issued for the immediate construction of a Mexico border wall. The specs have been outlined: 30 feet high and "aesthetically pleasing." The next thing on President Trump's to-do list for building his "big, beautiful wall": Hire more lawyers for a long and expensive battle over private land.

That isnt going to go over well with Trump's supporters in Texas that will lose their land. Texas already claimed to distrust the federal government and claimed Jade Helm was a plot for the federal government to take their guns and land. They where monitoring the military with daily reports to the Governor and a lot of people carrying guns to stop the government. Lets see how they react when Trump actually takes their land and property.
I'd never heard of that before. But that's hilarious. There are a lot of paranoid nuts out there.
They even had Chuck Norris complaining it was a plot to take over Texas.
John Oliver did a show on the practicality of the wall before Tump was elected.
The government is also still fighting court cases from 2007 when Bush tried to take peoples land in Texas for the wall.
