President Trump vs. American landowners on the border - Private land could be s

The DUmmie kaput posts a fake news link that gives woefully incorrect information, and then a few other DUmbshits pile on.

Apparently the smartest people in the entire World have never seen the Roosevelt Reservation or have bothered to read The REAL ID Act

For those lurking DUmmies I'll just leave this here.

Roosevelt Reservation
The Roosevelt Reservation is a 60-foot (18 m) strip of land on the United States side of the United States-Mexico Border under the jurisdiction of the United States Federal Government. It was established in a 1907 Presidential Proclamation (35 Stat. 2136) by Theodore Roosevelt in order to keep the land "free from obstruction as a protection against the smuggling of goods between the United States and Mexico".[1][2][3]

This is cut from the Real ID Act:

Waiving laws that interfere with construction of border barriers[edit]
An earlier law (Section 102 of Pub.L. 104–208, which is now part of 8 U.S.C. § 1103) provided for improvements to physical barriers at the borders of the United States.

Subsection (a) of the law read as follows: "The Attorney General, in consultation with the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization, shall take such actions as may be necessary to install additional physical barriers and roads (including the removal of obstacles to detection of illegal entrants) in the vicinity of the United States border to deter illegal crossings in areas of high illegal entry into the United States."

Subsection (b) orders the Attorney General to commence work on specified improvements to a 14-mile section of the existing border fence near San Diego, and allocates funds for the project.

Subsection (c) provides for waivers of laws that interfere with the work described in subsections (a) and (b). Prior to the Real ID Act, this subsection allowed waivers of only two specific federal environmental laws.

The Real ID Act amends the language of subsection (c) to make the following changes:

Allows waivers of any and all laws "necessary to ensure expeditious construction of the barriers and roads under this section".
Gives this waiver authority to the Secretary of Homeland Security (rather than the Attorney General). Waivers are made at his sole discretion.
Restricts court review of waiver decisions: "The district courts of the United States shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear all causes or claims arising from any action undertaken, or any decision made, by the Secretary of Homeland Security pursuant to paragraph (1). A cause of action or claim may only be brought alleging a violation of the Constitution of the United States. The court shall not have jurisdiction to hear any claim not specified in this subparagraph." Claims are barred unless filed within 60 days, and cases may be appealed "only upon petition for a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court".

Since when did DU-folk give a @#$% about other people's property?

From what I understand there has been massive Federal interference with border land for a long time, insisting on ditching possible landing fields, preventing owners from entering parts of their property at all sorts of times, etc., on top of armed smugglers just keeping them from carelessly riding around on it in the first place.

You mean other than wanting it for themselves and telling the government to make that happen?

That must be some really valuable real estate on the US/Mexican border.

In a political sense.

It does sit astride drug/illegal alien smuggling routes.  That alone should add tens of thousands to the value.
