The Wall/Eminent Domain

Let us assume that President Trump goes forward with his plans for a wall on the southern boundary of the United States. Let us also assume that much of the land is owned by private landowners.
If the governments needs to acquire much of this land by its power of emindent domain by expropriation, would it be realistic for it to be tied up in the courts for many years?

Gubment has a 60 foot right of way on the entire border.
I'd be willing to bet 99% of those folks with illegals streaming across their land would have no problem with the gubment building that fence/wall.

27 ... President Theodore Roosevelt reserved a 60-foot strip along the international boundary with Mexico for the United States to maintain the area free from obstructions as a protection against the smuggling of goods between the United States and Mexico.
In effect, the Roosevelt easement provided the federal government with a 60-foot border right-of-way on which it could build the fence.

Fed Govt owns the border, and it's their job to protect it. They'll do what they want.
