I would argue that since they allow illegal aliens to cross their property without taking any action to stop them, they have effectively allowed a public right of access by prescription, and thus the government has as much right to access the property as they do.

Common sense has long posited that “good fences make good neighbors”.

Sounds like this second judge is being judicious in an effective kind of way... too bad there are so many who are not.

Common sense: Since they do not want a fence on their property, build it up to their property lines and leave a gap. They will be BEGGING for a fence in no time; then you can charge them top dollar, for court costs and overtime for the fence guys to come back and build their portion.

No need to make them have a fence.

Perhaps the federal government should use its granted power of eminent domain to buy out the property in question. Then there would be no problems with them building the wall or otherwise accessing the property.

Hanen asked many questions of the government and established some ground rules.

Duh judge, eminent domain must be an entirely new concept, where did he get his law degree out of cracker jack box?

Protracted law suits won’t accomplish anything. If Brownsville or any other property owners have a problem with the fence; Build the fence around them and they will have all the Rio Grande water and comradery with Mexico they can handle.
