“Chertoff told the Houston Chronicle the federal government “can’t rule out” using powers of eminent domain to seize land for the wall that is intended to stem the flow of illegal immigrants entering the United States from Mexico.”

Now here’s an example of eminent domain as it was originally intended.

And.....protests by natural U.S. citizens would be minimal. I think we're all pretty much in agreement that we would do whatever it takes to turn this tide.

Exactly. I understood there is already a 'buffer' zone easement on private property on the border. B4, do you know?

If I lived on the border I'd give the government an easement to get a GOOD fence.

Exactly. They are not concerned about taking thousands of acres of land for the Mexico to Canada super highway but pitch a fit about something that actually will help to protect the country. Selective complaining for sure.
