If we just go off his record, there are more reasons to vote for Trump today than there were in 2016 but he’s also not running against the worst Democratic candidate in history. :news:

Vote based off what is getting done not his personality.

Eminent Domain Seizures are now cool...weird.

I doubt anyone who supports the wall thinks this is right.   Nothing is perfect and I hope they get this worked out correctly.

Just another tactic used by people who have no knowledge or understanding.  "eminent domain seizure are cool"  No one falls for that bullshit.

When two narratives from the left come together.....they often contradict each other.

Another case of emotion vs logic.

Yeah you Trump brain dead’s are OK with this...

About 70 percent of the community — some 200 properties — would be stranded south of the barricade but north of the river.

It’s Trailer houses. Put the wheels back on and relocate to another trailer park a half mile down the road.

But they're STRANDED.  FFS, I thought snowmobile operators were a much less emotional group.

Why, you claim that people think "seizure by eminent domain is cool"  Clearly you are not capable of logic if that is what you got out of the last 2 pages.

What I got out of these two posts is that you’re a bigger fucktard than I previously thought.

Pffft....It’s obvious here everyday that Trump gets away with shit that Obama would have been crucified for and that Trumps lies are explained away as fake news or that people should have known better. 

BTW talking that way about people who

live  in trailer parks is very Hillary like.

so force them out like they do in Palestine? Sounds like freedom to me!

Well I havent seen the actual proposal for the wall right of way but if this is like most any other federal construction project the property owners that are displaced will be compensated for their land.  Typically this compensation is in line with the assessed or taxed value of the land.  In this case, we're talking about an RV park with some park model RV's and some trailer houses and many transient 5th wheel campers and motorhomes.  

I think everyone knew it was going to be very difficult to construct a barrier along most parts of the Rio Grand river.  The vast majority of the land on each side of the Rio Grand is farmland with only a small percentage if it occupied by people.  There are places where a barrier along the southern border make sense, there are places where it doesn't.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump's border agency admits he has built ZERO new walls despite claiming otherwise for months — as the president prepares to veto lawmakers' attempt to kill his emergency declaration and keep his signature campaign promise alive

11011674-0-image-a-67_1552609341998.jpg
 

The United States government has built no new border walls during the Trump administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed exclusively to DailyMail.com on Thursday.

Border barriers erected between the U.S. and Mexico since Inauguration Day 2017 have consisted of supplements to existing walls and replacements for outmoded or decreipt sections.

'The first new wall project, where no barrier currently exists, is anticipated to start in April,' CBP spokesman Roger Maier said in an email. He identified Hidalgo County as the construction project's location, a border zone along a meandering 50-mile stretch of the Rio Grande.

CBP  that it was 'designing and constructing approximately 25 miles of levee wall system' in that county, whose anchor is the the border city of McAllen.

President Donald Trump visited McAllen on January 11, boasting of wall renovations that he framed as 'new' construction. 'I will say, we've done a lot of renovation. And we have a lot of new wall going up where we took down wall because it was in such bad shape, and we put new wall up,' he said.  

Trump has been less ambiguous on other occasions. He wrote on Twitter that 'newly built walls' were stopping caravans of Central American migrants from entering the U.S., and that '[w]e have already built large new sections' in addition to ongoing renovations.

That appears to be untrue.

The documented border wall construction the Trump administration has engaged in so far has consisted of replacing some existing barriers and reinforcing others with secondary fencing; U.S. Customs and Border Protection said on Thursday that the 'first' new section won't go up until April

Maier said that 'CBP has constructed approximately 38 of 40 miles of wall in place of outdated designs,' using funds Congress appropriatedfor fiscal 2017. 

Those replacements are up in San Diego and El Centro, California; Santa Teresa, New Mexico; and El Paso, Texas. 

Utilizing Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 funds, CBP has constructed approximately 38 of 40 miles of wall in place of outdated designs in San Diego and El Centro, California, Santa Teresa, New Mexico and El Paso, Texas, providing new capability for the U.S. Border Patrol. This barrier replaced dilapidated infrastructure, half of which was Normandy-style vehicle barrier. Construction has also started on the San Diego Secondary replacement, the first project funded in FY 2018. The first new wall project, where no barrier currently exists, is anticipated to start in April in Hidalgo County of the Rio Grande Valley Sector.   — U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Roger Maier (emphasis added by DailyMail.com)

'This barrier replaced dilapidated infrastructure, half of which was Normandy-style vehicle barrier,' he said. 

'Construction has also started on the San Diego Secondary replacement, the first project funded in [fiscal] 2018. The first new wall project, where no barrier currently exists, is anticipated to start in April in Hidalgo County of the Rio Grande Valley Sector.' 

Trump has rediirected billions of dollars to his wall project through a national emergency declaration, claiming at the same time that the project is well underway. 

Both houses of Congress voted this week to rescind that declaration with a resolution that the president has said he will veto, perhaps as soon as Friday.

Some of Trump's claims about his construction described sections of border wall where none existed before. 

In January he tweeted a complaint that '[t]he Fake News Media keeps saying we haven’t built any NEW WALL.' 

He provided a photograph of a section of border wall, saying: 'Below is a section just completed on the Border. Anti-climbing feature included. Very high, strong and beautiful! Also, many miles already renovated and in service!' 

Trump didn't say where the photo was taken, but a date-stamp indicated it was created in October.

Trump drew applause and chants of 'Build the wall!' in 2015 and 2016 as he campaigned for the White House, promising to physically separate the U.S. from its southern neighbor with an impenetrable barrier and force Mexico to pay the bill.
