"Ahhh but that doesn’t matter as long as we keep illegals away."

So you'd rather not apply eminent domain (where necessary) to build a border wall….

THAT is the reason why eminent domain is in the constitution, NOT for taking from a private property owner in order to give it to another private property developer to build hotels or such ( as in Kelo vs City of New London ), but to DEFEND the country.

So yes, building a border wall IS legitimate constitutional application of eminent domain.
