If the fence is on the Texas/Mexico line, how does that cut farmers off from water, harm wildlife or ruin recreational areas?

---

I don’t know the exact boundary line nor the proposed location of the fence.. But if the boundary is the middle of the Rio Grande river then my guess is the fence will be built inland some distance thus cutting off animals, etc from access to the water for drinking, etc. and I'm not sure how it would impact farmers/ranchers etc on water rights.

My guess is eminent domain will come into play for land along the fence line. There is an eminent domain bill on the governor’s desk awaiting his signature now that will bring land owners more rights in the takings process.

Been there, seen where an average example of the fence would go, it is IBWC land that does not belong to the farmers anyway and the "wildlife" most affected will be the border "coyotes." No one needs access to the actual river. The water from the river is NOT bailed out by hand as the enviro-wacks would have it appear, it is pumped out via underground pipe systems and in many locations in Texas it would help keep out the tick infested mexican cattle.

And if there is an area that requires a fence the only "recreation" going on around there is stemming from the drug smugglers.

In short, they are “full of it.”
