Lord help us if the U.S. Government cannot use eminent domain to build a border fence in order to protect THE ENTIRE 300 MILLION AMERICANS LIVING HERE, yet some podunk city in Connecticut can use eminent domain successfully for the sake of economic development “to benefit” a town of 20,000.

We are truly screwed.

[Article] The city commission voted to table the offer and it was never taken up again. But Ahumada said at the time he did not want a fence under any circumstances.

Wonder how many of them are in the pay of the Mexican drug gangs?

Fine. Give Brownsville and every other border town that opposes a fence to Mexico. With the exception of anchor babies (who should be illegal, imo) it's not like it isn't 98% illegal anyway. They'll be whining in 6 months time to come back into the fold.

And then we have them laughing as they cut through - However, design criteria require that, at a minimum, the fence must be 16 feet high and 3 to 6 feet below ground, capable of withstanding a crash of a 10,000-pound (gross weight) vehicle traveling at 40 miles per hour, capable of withstanding vandalism, cutting or penetrating; semi-transparent, as dictated by operational need, designed to survive extreme climate changes, able to reduce any minimal impacts on small animal movement, not impede the natural flow of water; and be aesthetically pleasing.

So Tom called the mayor of Brownsville out for the buyed-out punk for Mexico he is. Mayor didn’t bother to deny it. Climate changes my ass - this guy is another bought off politician who has no loyalty to our nation while he’s in office to insure organized criminals get their way.

Pay Ahumada, backtrack my name and face me for calling you a traitorous scumbag. Please.
