In order to complete vast sections of the proposed wall at the Mexican border, the government will need to build on large amounts of land owned by private citizens. However, many of these folks don't want to sell their land. Yet, the government can seize their land by eminent domain in exchange for "just compensation".

No! Absolutely not! In addition to confiscating land Trump would build portions of the wall on our side essentially giving away land either to the border or effectively to Mexico.

Wait what ? Building a fence or wall on sovereign soil gives it to another country ?

"I disagreed with doing this very small (tiny) section of wall, in a tricky area, by a private group which raised money by ads. It was only done to make me look bad, and perhsps it now doesn’t even work. Should have been built like rest of Wall, 500 plus miles," the president tweeted.

His tweet linked to an article from Pro Publica and The Texas Tribune that said experts fear the 3-mile stretch of 18-foot high steel fencing built on the banks of the Rio Grande is at risk of collapse.

LMAO!

Donald bites the hands of those who try to please him the most.

Remember Trumpsters: It's all about Donald. Your well being and happiness is meaningless to Emperor Orangepuss. Just shut your pie hole, vote for Donald, and defend him to the bitter end!

It’s hard to say what’s worse about Trump’s wall: The incompetence or the corruption

PRESIDENT TRUMP, no stickler for bureaucratic procedure, had no qualms about pushing the Army Corps of Engineers to award a major construction contract for his border wall to a North Dakota firm whose chief executive repeatedly went on Fox News to tout the project and his company’s ability to build it. That presidential meddling, now the subject of a Pentagon investigation, worked out nicely for Fisher Sand & Gravel, which won $1.7 billion in border wall contracts — despite having virtually no track record in construction.

Now, the president is bashing a segment of the wall in Texas that Fisher built as a showcase private project that, according to engineers who have examined photographs of the erosion at its base, is at risk of falling into the Rio Grande. “It was only done to make me look bad, and [perhaps] it now doesn’t even work,” Mr. Trump tweeted Sunday.

It may not work, but it was hardly done to embarrass the president. Both Tommy Fisher, the firm’s eponymous chief executive who lobbied for wall contracts, and a conservative nonprofit group that launched the project on private land with money raised online, are vociferous supporters of the president. The board of the nonprofit, called We Build the Wall, includes Stephen K. Bannon, Mr. Trump’s former chief strategist.

Private land can be taken to build roads. But I guess making our borders safer and stronger is just not that important.
