New wrinkle in the wall: may need Congress to pass a bill to acquire the tribal lands for a wall. If Congress needs to pass something, filibuster is possible unless tied to "must pass" legislation.

I’m about to the point where I wouldn’t mind if Trump abolished congress and appointed himself king.

The border is international territory; therefore it is under the domain of the Feds.

Build that part of the wall last.

I may be wrong, but I think I read that many people cannot even use their own land because of all the violence and cartels.

From what I’ve read, people have huge areas of their own property they don’t dare go on to.

I would think they would welcome a wall.

But I haven’t lived in TX in a long time.

In obtaining land Washington can't go cheap.Offer owners a sum which *anyone* can see as reasonable.Any challenges to such offers go to court.As for tribal land,same thing...reasonable offers or take it to court and/or Congress.

No individual...no group of individuals...no Party...must be allowed to stop this.

The federal government is very efficient with a “Declaration of Taking.”

Build the wall around the tribal land and keep it on the other side.

Those who are against the wall just go around and build the wall north of their property. If they want back in, they can find the big beautiful secure door.

Anyone that has a problem with our border being secured needs to be raped, murdered or killed by the filth that is coming across it.

Offer citizenship to those of the tribe living south of the border, move them north, pay them for the land and build the wall. Most tribal elders are realists, only the young ones are activists.

Consider building on Mexico side. Land might be cheaper?

Just kidding.

From the parts of the border I have visited there are what I would call “barriers” all ready in place. They just need some “maintenance” the way I see it and a little reinforcement.

Federal judges will block every shovel for EVERY reason. This travel ban thing has assured us of that.

The linchpin of the Presidency is how he handles these activist judges.

If you ain’t gonna fight, why’d ya bother runnin?

Pray that Trump puts on some boxing gloves and starts punching folks in the mouth. Otherwise....pfft.

Middle Easterners criss into the US from the Canadian border onto the reservations in upstate NY. The southern border is a distraction

I think it would be so much easier to just push the border into Mexico and build it there.

DOJ that her 1.2 acres was worth $2,900

Looks like Yvette just wants to negotiate the price a little more in her favor. Smart.

I was born and raised in Beijing China. 30 years ago just 2 weeks before I boarded airplane for America I bought a bus ticket to Great Wall just so in case Americans ask me about it and I would not have to say I’ve never been there. It turns out during these 30 years past no one asked me about it. 2 years ago I went back for home visit and climbed the Great Wall again, I was put in awe by it’s magnificence. I wish America had such a Wall along southern border, attracting millions tourists and bringing billion dollar each year as well as stoping all bad things at there

“New wrinkle in the wall: may need Congress to pass a bill to acquire the tribal lands for a wall. If Congress needs to pass something, filibuster is possible unless tied to “must pass” legislation.”

Then just build the rest and fill-in leftover parts when able.

And I say this not even necessarily being a huge wall proponent.
