Yes, I approve of eminent domain when it's used to accomplish something as vital as securing our southern border. This is especially the case considering the amount of drugs, crime and cheap labor that flow across it on a daily basis.

There is privately owned land on the border. Did you know that?
I don't think Troll knows where the border is.
Considering the amount of trouble illegal immigration gives many of the ranchers along our border, I doubt they will be complaining much.
Well, it's been proposed for many years, it will be mired in legalities and won't achieve security. Walls have never stopped people from smuggling drugs or people across borders.

Because you doubt it, you think the property owners won't object?
Walls can help, which is why we put them around our military bases and embassies. The European Union is building a wall as we speak to help address their illegal immigration problems.
They aren't full proof of course (nothing is). But they certainly aid in security.
The reason the wall has never been built is because the political establishment on both sides of the aisle have no real interests in stopping illegal immigration because their corporate buddies love that cheap labor. It will take an outsider to get it done - someone not beholden to the lobbies in Washington.

As the Myrmidons sing along, Trump first brays that he “will build the wall” (which, incidentally, would have no bearing on visa overstays, who account for nearly half of the illegal-alien population).
Then, he vows to get Mexico to foot the bill, as if there were honor in extorting a poor but reasonably amicable neighbor into paying the vital border-security costs of a profligate superpower.
Trump’s wall plan, outlined in a memo scarcely one-and-a-half pages long (counting two large “TRUMP: Make America Great Again” headers), is equally harebrained. He says he will force Mexico to pay for the wall by contorting the Patriot Act, of all things, into a unilateral executive power to draft private money-transfer companies like Western Union into policing illegal-alien remittances to Mexico.

Many Americans, including many of today’s Trump boosters, have complained — and not without justification — that the government exploited the Patriot Act powers enacted in the post-9/11 moment to extend surveillance of financial transactions and communications in ways never intended by Congress.
Yet these same Trump boosters are apparently content to have their man issue Obama-esque executive decrees under the guise of this erstwhile bane of their existence — as opposed to, oh, I don’t know, maybe asking Congress to pass a law addressing remittances to Mexico.
In other words, 2016’s most successful “outsider insurgency” would replace the incumbent autocrat with a new autocrat.

The debt is also a bigger motivating factor.
My post had nothing to do with the patriot act.
I think you are getting me confused with another poster possibly or something.

So you don't know that's how Teflon Don plans to "make Mexico pay" for his wall?
How telling.
The wall is estimated to cost between 8 to 10 billion dollars.
Illegal immigration costs this country 100's of billions of dollars annually. So from an economic standpoint it is a sound investment, even if Trump is unsuccessful in shifting the burden of its cost onto Mexico.
